The Fallen Star (Fallen Star Series Book 1) Review
SummaryGemma has lived her life believing that she was a freak. She has violet eyes and until recently she has had no emotions. She never felt angry, happy, sad, or any other emotion a normal person would feel. About a month ago she started feeling tingling sensations accompanied by emotions. She also started dreaming about being chased by monstrous things with glowing yellow eyes that had the intention of killing her. Gemma lives with her "grandparents" Sophia and Marco in a small town. She is not close with the people she lives with so as she experiences new emotions she has no one to talk to about it and tries to figure things out on her own. Enter Alex and Aislin Avery. Gemma feels electricity pulse through her body every time Alex is near. Alex is moody and Gemma gets the idea that he hates her. As the story progresses Gemma learns things about herself by spending time with Alex and Aislin. She wants to trust Alex but feels that he is only telling half truths. Secrets unravel to reveal that Gemma is something special and her life is in danger. She has to figure out who to trust before it is too late.
My thoughts:
The story was kind of slow starting for me. I wasn't sure where the story was going even though there was interaction with characters. Chapter 7 was where I began to understand what was going to be an important clue to Gemma's life. Once I was on board I loved Gemma. She was independent and strong willed. She was not a push over and I like that in female characters. The author included paranormal characters (a vampire, dark angel, witch, and fairy) but they weren't overpowering. These characters interacted with Gemma throughout the book. If she could believe that characters like this truly existed then it would be easier for Gemma to accept her own story as it unraveled.
Alex Avery is described as a gorgeous guy with dark brown hair and bright green eyes. His introduction to the story had him being short and abrupt with Gemma even though there was a connection between the two. I didn't really get why he was so abrupt with Gemma in the beginning. The only explanation given was that he was moody. One minute he was distancing himself emotionally and the next he was flirting. As the story went on he became protective and more forthcoming. Gemma accused him of being a liar but I think he told half truths because that was what he was told. Alex believed what he said was truth. There were other characters that seemed to have information about Gemma. Their knowledge helped fill in the gaps to the puzzle of Gemma's life.
Since this is book 1 of a series I was left with one thought at the end: "Holy cliffhanger, Batman". Gemma's life is in danger and the author leaves the reader with one question...What happened to Gemma? All I can say is well played Jessica Sorensen, well played. I became invested in the lives of these characters and cannot wait to see what will happen next.
