I was blown away by this whole series. I loved it, and could not put the book
down (my kindle, lol) until I finished the whole book. This final installment
did NOT disappoint. I loved how Gemma and Alex finally figured out their
feelings for each other. Loved how we actually got to see 2 endings, the
visions, and what really happens. It was great. I am actually reading the
series over again, can't get enough. I can't wait for the spin off book.The Lost Soul(Fallen
Souls Series book 1)

And another new series called Ember (Death Collectors #1)
and Cinder (Death Collectors #2) (2nd one due out fall 2012) My Review for Ember (Death Collectors #1 ) Is HERE
Gemma thought she was trapped—that Stephan had finally won. But then time resets and she’s given another chance.
The clock is ticking as Gemma tries to figure out how to change the vision that ends the world in ice. If she can, then maybe she can save the world from Stephan and give her and Alex a chance at a real future. But changing visions can be dangerous, and sometimes one small mistake can lead to disastrous results.
WOW!Is one word to sum up this amazing
3rd installment to the Fallen Star Series. I, in a way was very lucky to have
discovered this series late, meaning I started the first one, only a month or
so, before the 4th was due out. SO when I got hooked, I was able to download
the rest, and keep reading. This one was also "on the edge of your
seat" amazing.
Jessica Sorensenhas really made Gemma a dynamic
character as, looking back, I can see how she has morphed and changed into the
strong willed young woman that every heroine should be.
Even though I was
familiar with the storyline, I wasn't actually prepared for the emotions that
hit me during this book.The Visionwas probably the most emotional book
out of the series (so far) because we see Gemma's and Alex's relationship on a
whole new level. Even though they are trying to find a way to be together they
are thrown a whole new line of obstacles that honestly leave you emotionally
drained in a good way. I, yet again, could not put the book down (well, my kindle)
I am truly am amazed at Jessica's writing style. I read lots of books, and can
honestly say she is one of my favorite writers now.
I highly recommend
this book, and the whole series. Its AMAZING! Be sure to readThe Fallen StarandThe Underworldbefore this one. Then the 4th one
after this oneThe Promise
The Underworld is the sequel to The Fallen Star (Fallen Star Series, Volume 1)
Gemma thought her mind was gone, but she was wrong. And now she is left trying to figure out the truth to what Stephan is planning to do with her and the star, before it’s too late.
But finding out the truth is hard, especially since Gemma doesn’t know who she can trust. There may be only one person who Gemma can turn to for answers, but that means having to go to the one place no one wants to go—The Underworld.
This is the new cover for Jessica's Fallen Star Series, I updated to show them, this review is based on the original ebooks, and not the new revamped books that are headed to stores.
Starts out where the shocking cliffhanger of theThe Fallen Starleft off. Things have changed
drastically. Gemma has now become determined to rescue her mother no matter
what. Even going to theUnderworldto do it.
This book is a great
follow-up to the first one. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole book. I
didn't get much work done, as I could not stop reading it, and read late into
the night. I finished in 2 days as I HAD to find out what was going to happen
next. Jessica is a master at creating a very believable yet unique world.
One thing I love about
this book is the different mix of mythical creatures that are included. Not
only are there Vampire, Witches and Fae but you also have Foreseers and the
Keepers. So its not the same type you see out there, this whole series is one
of a kind really.
I fell in love with
Alex even more (I know, that sounds ridiculous, but it's true). I loved that it
was more obvious that he had true strong feelings for Gemma and at how jealous
he would get.
I highly recommend
this book. I recommend the WHLOE series so far. AMAZING!! Great job Jessica!Jessica Sorensenis one of my favorite authors, be sure
to readThe Fallen Starfirst!
Above is the New cover, I have updated this review. This is based on the old ebooks, not the new revamped ones. I will read them and review once they are out.
The Fallen Star is about a girl named Gemma who was not able to feel any emotions until recently. Gemma meets Alex and she feels different around him, and after meeting him she starts to piece to together information about her past and she finds out that the monsters that haunt her in her dreams are actually real.(summary from book)
Fallen Star is the first in a young-adult paranormal series
by indie author Jessica Sorensen. The summary for the book, does not say a lot
on what it is about, so I will tell you some, no spoilers though.
We can see that Gemma
is troubled. There are some new classmates Aislin and Alex that seem to know
things about Gemma, things, she doesn’t even know. Gemma can be pretty strong
willed at times, as well as impulsive. But then, there are times we can see the
mysteries surrounding her scare her. She will soon find out a shocking
revelation about her life.
This is a very creative story, love the fantasy and
mysteries around it.
The world that Jessica
has created along with the characters and the magicks she places into this
world are very intriguing. As this is only part of a series, there’s obviously
a lot of depth and complexity that she can explore. She has,
Fallen Stars, Foreseeres, Faeries, Vampires, Keepers, Witches, Death Walkers,
the works really.
The plot itself has
lots of potential as well. The idea of a fallen star is not unique to this
story, but the twist and turn she has given it is very original. This star can
save the world, and that’s the intriguing premise and the fun one that can
really draw a reader in.
Also, having the
character suddenly be able to feel emotions is an interesting idea. I felt that
Sorensen could potentially delve into exactly what Gemma’s feelings and how she
feels it. There is a very complex and interesting idea of the soul and emotions
tied together, and that being the very essence of a human being is something
that she could explore.
As of writing this
(updating) I have already read the rest of the series, and will tell you now,
that this book is necessary to read to understand it all, but keep in mind,
it’s a first step in a series, and the characters and story really grow over
the series of books, questions you have in this one do get answered, I promise,
its written this way. It’s worth reading, and for sure going on to the next 3
after this one. (There is even a spin off series that is also amazing, with
same characters, with a whole new adventure)
The best part is how
within a few pages you are sucked into the story! I stayed up WAY too late doing
the `one more Chapter' thing till the wee hours of the morning. It hooks you
from the first chapter. I am hooked on the series, and impatiently waiting for
the 2nd in the spin off.The Lost Soulis out, and I read it, now waiting for
book 2.
I highly recommend to
anyone who enjoys the supernatural with some twist and turns, and suspense.
Be sure to check out the rest of the books in this series. See Jessica Sorensen page to see all her books.
