Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Revelations by J. A. Souders

 
This is a young adult novel featuring mild romance and confusing mystery.   This is volume two of the Elysium Chronicles which is mild SciFi as it appears to be a post apocalypse book.   

I guess the confusing part is due to the  lack of a back story.   Evie has amnesia and thus she can’t remeber her past, sadly that lack of memory is also the reader’s problem as well.  More back story would have allowed greater enjoyment  of the book for those of us who have not read the previous volume. 

There is the requisite underground mysterious bunker as well as genetically modified creatures.  The friction between Gavin and Asher predates their attraction to Evie.   Again, more back story would have helped.

This book does not stand alone well.  As part of a series it is OK assuming you read the previous volume.  The concept and style are fine but the inability for the  book to stand alone made it difficult for me to enjoy.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
