Smashwords book reviews by purpinkrose

The Athena Effect on Feb. 18, 2013

I read this book in just 24 hours, I couldnt put in down. The description of the book had me thinking this was another boy meets girl, falls in love, throw in a twist. Ermm did'nt see that twist coming. I loved the twin names Cal and cal/Cali I never got confused by which one I was reading about. I loved the personality of all the charactors-apart from Professer physco Reed. I felt so sorry for Cali when her parents died and had to move to a new place, especially when she went to school. I have never read a book about someone like Cali who could see auras. I feel like it was done correctly and in context. Not knowing why her parents suffered with the problems with their heads was correct it left me guessing and later in book when she gets captured it all fits in then. i found myself getting annoyed with layla and micheal and the way their relationship with reed. But glad in the end lalya didnt give Cali away. Reeds character was very good he made me want to lock him in a room and was glad when max double crossed him. Max i think we will see a lot more of in the next book. I cant wait to see what he is up to and what he has in mind for layla and Micheal I was devasted when the book finished, I cant wait for the next one. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone I think it would appeal to all ages.

As a big fan of supernatural when I started reading this book I was curious as to how this would play out. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy it, my first idea being it would be like gladiator. Yet again this site is proving to me don't judge a book by its cover( on every review this seems to b a theme). When I started reading this book the first chapters give a bit of a clue into Logan's current life. I remembered thinking he he'd to grow a pair because he seemed a bit lazy and not much oomph. The story gets going when he gets to the estate and meets AJ, Mack, Penny, Gena. There is a steady pace to this story moves at the right pace, if it moved any slower or faster the story would be ruined. it pulls you in so you just have to keep reading just that one more page. I loved Penny and her character and couldn't wait for her story to unfold, never expected the connection with Pepper and explains her anger towards certain people. I loved Zane and felt sorry for him constantly. I was gutted that Penny's vision about her death was true and glad Zane remembered at the end. Gena at times got on my nerves the way she was towards Zane, like she didn't let penny try to make her own decisions. I liked the way Gena turned out towards the end of the book, but can't help think there's more to her. AJ I'm still not sure of and don't know how I feel about her. I understand her pain of losing Mack. Pepper I think will lose some of her monster issues around Logan, and were will their relationship if any go.... I didn't like Jackson, and wish we know what he was hiding. Who is the other Witch? And Thomas I wish someone would kill him in the arena. OMG what an ending and a cliff-hanger, I CANT WAIT for the next book. I cant wait to see what happens next. Thank You Jade for an Awesome book.
