Find Best Price at Amazon"To start off my review, I just want to say that I enjoyed reading this book sent to me by the author. This translated novel revolves around a normal teenager named Gemma who suddenly encountered a mysterious presence wherein apparently, she's the only who experienced this. After this Angel of Death, Evan, interfered a lot of times with Gemma, she felt connected with him, and is slowly falling in love with him. Actually, all the characters felt like my fictional group of friends, and it was fun hanging out with them while reading this. The characters, the story and the dialogue were greatly crafted with an interesting concept that is enough to pull me into their world where angels of death exist to take away lives, and it felt like they took my life for me to live there."
"I have to admit that I felt a little bad for Peter, but Evan is such an excellent book boyfriend that you fall in love with him right along side Gemma (so what is if he an an angel of death."
"I loved this book, Evan and Gemma are my new favorites in YA."
"I do love the paranormal and all the things that go bump in the night and this book has all that plus add in some savory bad, angst, twists and turns and young romance to keep you on your toes."
"Her life is pretty normal & somewhat boring until she meets this mysterious guy who intrigues her. She almost thinks her creative imagination is getting the best of her on account of reading too many books since no one else seems to see this mysterious boy but her."
"Once I got past the slow part it really came together and was very interesting and was a surprising thrill ride with adventure, romance, and mystery."
"Gemma is the awkward ,out of place girl who finds herself in a world she never thought could exsist. This book is filled with a rock solid world building."

Be ready to partake in extraordinary adventures beyond time and space, tragic battles, and bitter disappointments. Since their creation, the Màsala have enforced the destiny of humankind on Earth through the Subterraneans, Angels condemned to carry the weight of death on their shoulders in order to please fate. Evan, a Subterranean, has denied his own nature in order to protect Gemma, the girl he was sent to kill and with whom he has fallen hopelessly in love. Five months have gone by since her last encounter with Death, and in spite of having experienced the most intense period of happiness in her life at Evan's side, Gemma's instinct reminds her that the game is far from over. In the face of jealousy, betrayal, and emotional devastation, Evan and Gemma find it isn't easy to escape their fate.

I was also hoping that they might have found a way to bring Chris back since his soul was in the Underworld, because of all the sacrifices they made to save the world, if there was a way to restore him, so that Kate could live happily ever after, maybe he could come back as a god, since Kate is a goddess. 🆘🚨 SPOILER ALERTS 🚨SPOILER ALERTS 🚨SPOILER ALERTS 🚨 SPOILER ALERTS 🚨 SPOILER ALERTS 🚨 🆘.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I initially bought this book off of others reviews & will admit I almost put it down. The main character, Thomas sort of got on my nerves as well in the beginning with all of his questioning but like I said, I stuck with it & I am so glad I did. The author does a great job of putting you in the middle of the action & developing his characters."
"Story consistent, good character development I did not get lost in the details the story haunting, I left the book for a while, remembered it and the story flowed like I never left, missing the characters already, like old friends, they went through so much during the tail to get to the conclusion I will definitely put this author in my top 10."
"At times it did seem to drag, prolonging pointless ventures and not going in-depth on the real issues and events that were happening. At the very end of the last book, Dashner does something different and very interesting by taking you back in time to how it all started. But just the same as the regular story line, he drops you at the end. There are so many other questions, but until Dashner can answer them, I will be left to peruse the internet for blogs and forums of other readers in hopes that they picked up on something I may have missed."
"A lot of people have also been saying that the book is very confusing and hard to understand but I believe different on this too. I think the author does a great job with the character Thomas."
"The Maze Runner has been recommended by tons of my friends, and I have been wanting to see the movie ever since I have heard about it. What has also interested me was the other book the author James Dasher wrote, which was the Eye of Minds. Thomas is just a 16 year old boy, who has been thrown into this huge place, and he has no idea what has happened to him. I think James Dasher is my new favorite author because of his amazing writing skills and his adventure filled books!"
"I read this book after I had read the Book 1 of the series. Wait until after reading all 3 book before you read the Prequel."
