Hard to get into? I couldn't put it down! (I'm just having trouble picking Never Fade up)


message 25: by Pranjali (new)

Pranjali (pranjalim) Please try Soul Screamers by Rachel Vincent if you're into paranormal kind of books. It's storyline is very different, like no other book I've read. People find the books somewhere in the middle of the series boring...trust me, keep reading.. .. And oh gosh... The way Rachel ended the series... Loved it <3

Hi there!

I imagine you've got a long list by now, but based on the books/series you enjoy, I really think you'll like my trilogy!

It's called the Forgotten Origins trilogy and is a YA, Scifi msytery-thriller. (I tried to hit all the genres. ;) )

Here are the books (all completed)
Bloodline (Forgotten Origins Trilogy #1) by Tara Ellis
Heritage (Forgotten Origins Trilogy #2) by Tara Ellis
Descent (Forgotten Origins Trilogy, #3) by Tara Ellis

OR...I have the box set: Forgotten Origins Trilogy - Box Set Bloodline, Heritage, Descent by Tara Ellis


The series has over 100 ratings here on Goodreads, with a 4.26 average and about a 4.8 average on Amazon.

Here is the blurb for Book #1, Bloodline:

Sixteen-year-old Alex is your average teen who thought she'd
be spending the next few years suffering through high school...not saving the
world from an alien plague. But when a rare meteor shower unleashes something
otherworldly, she finds herself at the center of a five thousand-year-old
conspiracy.

Guided by cryptic clues left from her deceased father, Alex
is plunged into a strange world predestined since ancient times. As the mystery
unravels, she discovers her bloodline is anything but average.

Pursued by both people she loves and unknown enemies; Alex is
forced to rely upon her own instincts and the help of her friend, Chis and
loyal dog, Baxter. Together, they race against time to find a cure. Will
Alex have the courage and faith to even survive?

Salome | 57 comments The Darkest Minds
the Lunar Chronicles
the Covenant Series
Delirium (personally, I like it better as a stand alone. I felt the series got worse as it went on, and the ending is a cop-out)


message 32: by J.K. (new)

J.K. Ullrich (jkullrich) Would it be tasteless to recommend my own novel? :-) Blue Karma has a touch of dystopia, a touch of romance, and plenty of action to keep you turning pages. I recommend it (with as much objectivity as one can expect from an author) to fans of "The Hunger Games" and other survival-oriented YA dystopias, particularly if those readers appreciate strong heroines.

Crystal I wanted to read from beginning legend but I didnt wanna die from heartbreak
