(The Kindrily, #1)
Release Date: May 21, 2012
Genre(s): YA Paranormal/Fantasy/Romance
My
Review: (5/5 stars*)
As soon as I started this book I could
immediately tell I was in for something amazing. The descriptive details and
style of writing were incredible. I felt like I was part of the story. Each
character was compelling in there own way and even more complex than they
appeared. It was like unraveling a mystery within a mystery, you dream of books
that give you such delight. I sincerely loved it. The story was soo beautiful
and heartbreaking at times but nonetheless immersed you into feeling so deeply
for the story and the characters. I love the idea of reincarnation especially
the idea of souls always reincarnating together and in each life playing a
different familial role be it family, lover, or friend. It's a lovely and
enchanting belief/concept. I also loved that each individual of a Kindrily had
a special gift or gifts of there own. I feel that added an extra layer to an
already delicious cake. I couldn't be more thrilled when I received this ebook
from the author Karen Amanda Hooper to review honestly, this was truly a rare
gem. This book deserves to be recognized for its creative writing skills and
diversity. It's not often that a book with a beautiful cover delivers an
amazing story as well. I never expected to be wowed but this book was
absolutely captivating. I'm really excited for the second book in this series
and will be eagerly awaiting its release in 2013.
SYNOPSIS:
Maryah Woodsen is an ordinary seventeen
year old - or so she thought. One night Maryah and her family are brutally
attacked, leaving her parents and twin brother both dead and her just barely
alive. After Maryah recovers she's left with an empty feeling inside. Forced to
pick up the pieces of her shattered soul she is sent to live with her godmother
and her family who she only met when she was barely a toddler. While living
there strange occurrences keep happening, and to top that off she keeps
dreaming of a man with gorgeous green eyes - a man she believes to be an angel
of death. Also her adoptive family members aren't all as welcoming - some seem
almost resentful towards her but who are they to judge her when they barely
know her - or so she thinks.
