i wrote a whole review and it deleted it so this one is gonna be shorter. i loved this book there were so many twists and turns that i found my self captured by the book and could literally not put it down!

LOVED it. enough said.
1milllion stars* if possible but its not so five will have to do. :D

As per most of my kindle findings, I was making my way through the list of amazon kindle recommendations and I found Inescapable. And what a finding I made!

I was initially introduced to the lovely and normal Evie. Just your average freshman starting college, wanting to fit in, experience new things, make new friends and who knows maybe meet someone. It wasn't long until I discovered that she got a little more than she gambled for!

Not long after her start to the freshman college year, Reed Wellington becomes antagonistically interested in her and her immediate departure from Crestwood's campus. Initially I thought "here we go, he doesn't want her around but actually he does yada yada yada". But no. He actually wants her gone!!! After a couple of chapters Reed's determination to get Evie well and truly gone kept increasing. Only matched by my determination to find out where Amy A. Bartol was going with this. And I can assure you that although she eventually lay her plot cards down (most of them anyway) she did it very slowly and very carefully.

Reed was gorgeously mysterious until the very end, and even then he has taken a lot of secrets with him to Amy A. Bartol's sequel Intuition. Although as the story develops we get to know him, he appears to not know as much about himself as he thought until he met Evie. This only adding to the mystery of the plot.

The other characters that Evie soon came to meet and become friends with were all so different and vibrant, that I felt like I was looking at a canvas. All different colours, but all working so well together to depict a intriguing story.

Aside from well structured characters who I very much came to like, I also really enjoyed the flow of the narration. The story was not solely built around the essentials to deliver the plot, it had body and structure allowing readers to become more familiar with the characters; whilst still delivering the odd subtle clue or indication of something to come.
I admit to foreseeing a few of the twists but then again I was scouring the pages for them. Nevertheless Amy A. Bartol successfully caught me out on several occasions and delivered a pretty impressive final blow that had me pre-ordering the sequel straight away!

I found Inescapable to live up to it's name and be somewhat inescapable itself! It was a very good read and I am currently enjoying the sequel: Intuition. Although I have not long started and promise to review as soon as I have finished, the story is threatening to become more intricate and complex. I have the feeling that with every book Amy A. Bartol will be taking us one step up every time leading us eventually to grand finale.

If you liked this: Although the style of writing and pace are different, I would suggest the Hush Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick. I would also recommend the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. Admittedly these two series are somewhat different from the Premonition series, but I do believe that they are good suggestions that as reads will not let you down and keep you dreaming.

Wow, I loved this, a slightly different take on this type of book and it worked well. I read some reviews which gave the plot away a little. I wished I hadn't.
I won't give anything away except to say, it is other worldly, fantasy, quite violent, romantic and surprising. It has great lead characters in Evie and Reed with a few more good supporting characters.
It's very well-written and I can't wait to read the rest. I can't believe I've only just found them. Well done Amy on this book.
