Anna Morgan, who is legally blind in one eye, sees so much more than "ordinary" people. After dying for seven seconds, she was revived with very unusual gifts: seeing wraiths and ghosts, people's auras, and can sense darkness in others.

After reading the description, I knew this novella had to go to the top of my list. In fact, I liked it so much that I read the entire novella in one sitting.

With a unique story, Peggy Martinez wrote one hell of a novella to whet my appetite. Anna is one of those characters that you instantly care for. Though I couldn't possibly know how she feels, I immediately empathize with her and care about what happens to her. I am very much looking forward to the next Anna Morgan novella.

I worked with Peggy by editing this book. Eventuality is one of the best books I've read this year - definitely in my top 5 favorites for 2014!

Sage's journal entries sprinkled throughout allow us an in depth peak into her inner turmoil and emotions. I'm totally in love with Lucio, a new character in this series, and I think he will tug on your heartstrings as well.

Peggy writes her characters so that their emotions are almost palpable. It's a beautiful thing to feel like you truly know a character and to feel his/her pain, sorrow, elation, and love.

I have two favorite scenes, both of which happen to be in the fae realm. What a beautiful, magical place! Peggy created a world I could see, feel, hear, smell, and taste in my imagination, and I want to visit and experience the magic for myself.

(Got this book for review) 1.5 stars. i'm not sure how i'm gonna explain this book, how i feel about it, how i reacted to some scenes...it was just not my thing i guess? This is like 50 shades but in a more intense less equipment ready and more fantasy filled erotic novel. The beginning was really promising, you know, the kind of novel that was pretty "gripping" , you're going to be expecting that you'll finish it really fast, get hooked and just let a day pass you by , but it just didn't do it for me. Micah's character is THAT guy, that armani looking guy you'd be ready to drop to the floor and be naked for and Ella had a pretty great character profile on her too, but somehow, the lust, the love, the hate, and everything else in between just didn't feel genuine. It was all "we-looked-at-each-other-there-was-hunger-in-our-eyes-so-lets-just-get-our-freak-on" and then twilight-y fights and conflicts in between.Congratulations to the author though cause it seems that a lot of other readers loved the story, the author did a pretty good job of making something that will sell to a lot of people, it is just so unfortunate that I'm one of the people who weren't sold on this one.Their focus in the was a bit off too in my opinion but towards the end it did make sense.i'm not sure if i'm going to read the next book.

A friend of mine introduced me to Flatland through the movie, I watched a bit of it and was instantly intrigued.

The first half of the book describes the world of Flatland, from the rigid hierarchy of their society to the weather. Abbott creates a fictional world that brilliantly satires the society of his time. Shapes with more sides are more respected members of society, with the top ranking social class being circles and women being simple lines and irregular shapes are either destroyed or used for experimentation.

The second half of the book describes A Square's visits to other dimensional lands. First, to Lineland - where he attempts to explain to the one-dimensional inhabitants that he is indeed two-dimensional, to no avail. Then, to Spaceland - where he becomes the unwilling believer as a Sphere tries to get him to open his mind. This section, I think, is Abbott's call to others to look beyond the constraints of what we know to be true into the unknown.

It was not an extremely easy read for me. Not only are some passages a bit technical, but it's written in that elegant Victorian style that isn't always the easiest to read.

All in all, a very clever satirical take on Victorian society.
