romance
This is probably one of my new favorite mangas!
This has the right mix of fantasy and action that makes me go back and re-read the story all over again. :)
Exciting A good book to read
I Thought that it was 5 stars because it is so exciting and I love books that take place in the future because you have to wonder if life could really be that way. I also liked it so much because I can relate to different characters. Its worth reading.
Very good sequel to "If I Stay"
Didn't find this novel quite as gripping as the first, but still a great read.
Five out of five stars
I read "Across the Universe" which I give a 5 out of 5 for creativity and the uniqueness of the book and plot. There was adventure, sci-fi, and romance which I enjoyed and I can't wait to see the sequel!
A 2-Day Read, The Sequel is Awesome Too!

The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

I just had to point this out first: This is the third book of the Wings Series. Second: If you read "Illusions" right away, you're not going to understand anything that happens in the book, UNLESS you read the first two books. Third: This book is AMAZING! Okay, now, this book is about a girl named Laurel Sewell who is a scion (a scion is a faerie sent to live in the human world). In this book, Laurel has been with her boyfriend David Lawson for two years. This year is senior year. And throughout these years, Tamani has been in love with Laurel since before Laurel was sent to the human world. Tamani is a sentry from Avalon, who was sent to watch Laurel grow up without problems, that is until the events in the first book with the trolls. Continuing on with Illusions, in this book Laurel finds out that she has another enemy other than trolls. Laurels love life is slipping from the grasps of her hands from the constant fights between Tam (Tamani) and David.

While the writing style is a somewhat unrefined in the first novel of this series, the story is captivating to the point that I couldn't stop reading and the writing definitely improves in the second book of the series.

I have always appreciated Sarah Dessen for her great character development. I fall in love with the characters and wish they really existed. This book is no exception. Dessen really knows how to make her creations believable, but with just a little extra romanticism thrown in. This book is focused on a girl named Auden. Her parents are both professors who bring an intellectual, if not abnormally social tone to her life. Auden didn’t have a normal childhood. She spent her evenings at her mother’s grad student dinners and her days waiting for her father to take a break from writing his never ending book. Her parents are now divorced and Auden lives with her mother while her father has a new family in a beach town a couple of hours away. It’s the summer before she leaves for college and she decides to take a break from her routine life to spend the next couple of months with her new step family.
