Initial reaction: It was decent, probably around my same reaction to the first book (which admittedly I read a while back ago.) The intrigue is strong but the execution felt a bit shaky through the novel.Full Review:Don't let my rating of this book fool you - I thought "Once We Were" was a very good...
***This review has also been posted on Tangled in Pages “Everybody’s got sad stories.” Devon’s voice was as ungiving as stone. “And everyone thinks they’re so very special and broken because of them.” I read What’s Left of Me back in 2012 and fell in love. I read Once We Were in 2014 and fell o...
The second book in the hybrid chronicles finds Addie and Eva hiding out in the aftermath of their escape from Nornand. Feeling cooped up and left in the dark Eva jumps at the chance to sneak out and discuss plans with fellow hybrids, but soon she's getting her and Addie deeper into the resistance an...
Picking up where the last book left off, the sequel brings lots of truth that all must face. Plot: Now the they are on the run, Eva must survive. She is considered unstable and dangerous. I particularly enjoyed this book because of the hard time that is faced. Eva is now joined with other hybrids...
I have just not had good luck with books lately. This is yet another book that had such great potential, but simply did not live up to my expectations. When you're on the run from the government and part of an underground rebellion, you'd think your life would be filled with suspense, secrets, excit...
It’s easy to look at dystopian novels nowadays, roll your eyes, and keep going.

This book revolves around two incidents. Which is kinda disappointing because I would have like to seen more interactions between the hybrids. Not just the "planning" time they spent together. And do we find out more about Peter? Why does it feel like this book is just telling the top part and never...
ONCE WE WERE is not only a thrilling story, but it also brings up some interesting underlying concepts and questions. Something I felt came up frequently was the concept of a fluctuating right and wrong. Where does one draw the line when it comes to supporting their cause? How far is one willing to ...
When I read What's Left of Me last year, I thought it was a great addition to the dystopian sub-genre, which was rife with tedium and copy-cat novels. It was completely unique to the subset and added in a hint of sci-fi that seemed to be missing from other similarly themed novels. And I still thin...
*Genre* YA Dystopian*Rating* 3.5 Actual Rating*My Thoughts*“Once We Were” is the second novel in The Hybrid Chronicles and in essence, it is the bridge between “What's Left of Me” and the sequel to the trilogy itself which releases sometime in 2014. They Hybrid Chronicles are based on the fact that...
