Cycles by Lois D. Brown Review


Cycles by Lois D. Brown

★★★★☆


Renee was just a normal girl, until she was left to watch her neighbor’s horse, Mercury. She had never ridden a horse before, until people broke into the barn to steal the horse. When she put the saddle on to ride Mercury, she noticed that it had a spiral on it, which tended to be her signature doodle. During her escape with Mercury she took a tumble and blacked out. When Renee woke up in the hospital she learned that her blood type didn’t match any known blood type, which lead to the discovery that the people she believed to be her parents were not. Renee searched for answers as she began to remember things from another life.

Cycles was an interesting read. I really enjoyed the concept, it was different and a new one to me. I’m not sure if there are other books along the same lines but for me this was anew idea and I really liked it. I found it original and fresh. I enjoy when I find new stories instead of reading about the same idea used over and over again.

The author did a good job with writing an interesting Young Adult novel that grabbed me and I’m sure will grab other readers as well. The author will be releasing the sequel Spaces sometime this year and I look forward to reading the it to find out what happens next with Renee.

This book was provided to me from the author for review, thank you for a great new read.

Hana by Lauren Oliver Review


Hana by Lauren Oliver
★★★★★ 
Hana was Lena’s best friend, and this was her story of their last summer together before the “cure.” Hana embarked on her last rebellion before she received the cure. She participated in illegal parties, music, and boys, knowing it would all come to an end. Hana knew, in the end, she would get the cure, but everything changed when her best friend Lena fell in love and was ready to fight to stay “uncured.”

This was a really quick read, since it was only a novella. I wish it was longer, but I still really enjoyed it. I liked reading Hana’s point of view and finding out more about her. It also confirmed some of my suspicions about things that happened in Delirium.

The author captured me just like she did with Delirium. When it ended, I really wanted more. It was just left hanging on an “oh, my god” moment. I would enjoy it if the author did another story or book in Hana’s point of view.

This was a beautiful addition to Lauren Oliver’s work, and I look forward to reading more of her stories.
