I was able to finish this amazing great story in a matter of hours in fact not very many like 4hrs is all it took. I couldn't stop turning the dang pages the hole thing just blew my mind away. This has been like nothing that I have ever read before I tend to try and stay away from one that talk about different worlds or what not like Aliens or something with that effect and well let me just say this story is not the case I would have to say it's more like paranormal then anything. It is a 1person POV which is told perfectly. I really enjoyed my time reading this story it came alive right before my eyes and I had no clue what to think about it. I just know that it was great, the hole thing the characters, the story line everything. This author did a really really great job :)
The cover art on this story matches the story head one, This was a very adventurous YA novel that's for sure but it grabbed my attention and held it strong that's for sure, come on I read it in less then a few hours. The author did a really beautiful job describing different things in the story, and made it seem more real life like not something that is straight out of a book more like you seen this happen and then are reading about someone else going through it. I liked it and cannot wait to sink my eyes in the next story!!!

Whisper of Memory -Book 2
~ What's It About? ~
Weapons training and winter formals...a deadly combination.
All Mia ever wanted was to fit in at Whispering Woods High. But being a portal-finder who dates a guy from another dimension sort of makes it hard. Mia's brother disappeared over a year ago, and agents from the IIA began policing people's movements through dimensions. She'd trusted Dr. Bleeker from the local university when he'd told her the IIA were the bad guys. But even a girl with an extraordinary ability to sense things can make mistakes.
Now two people are dead, and as a portal gatekeeper for the IIA, Mia needs to find Dr. Bleeker before he hurts anyone else. And her boyfriend Regulus, an Agent for the IIA, carries secrets of his own. Between learning about weaponry, finding the perfect dress for the winter formal, and catching bad guys, who has time to fit in?

What in the world happened??? Everything was great then it was like getting hit by a truck and everything changed. This story set the tone for the series I think with the hole mind erase thing and lot's and lot's of heartache to go right along with it. I did feel bad for Mia, she was in love then had the ripped from her and a hole bunch of craziness happens after that, I would have broke down and cried not Mia she is a strong young adult if you ask me.
This author has done an outstanding job with writing this story, I mean everything the journey the characters and the emotions all rolled into one great big story was amazing. It blew my mind away!!!! I finished this story in less then a day like the first one, if that tells you how good this series is. lol anyways After this story I had no choice but to jump right into the 3rd on that's how much I craved to find out what was going one and I wanted to know what would happen with Mia and Regulus. The couple just hurt my brain with the back and forth feelings and now feelings lol. It was great. lol I know weird for me to say that but it was.
If you made it this far in the series you must continue reading it, I liked it so far and I know that you would too!!!

Watcher of Worlds - Book 3
~ What's It About? ~
Senior year should bring fun, friends, and happiness. Not portals, treachery, and murder.
Seventeen-year-old Mia Taylor, gatekeeper to an interdimensional portal, wants nothing more than to heal from her romance gone wrong. Illegally falling for her co-worker Regulus had been a huge mistake. But when Regulus goes rogue to hunt down a murderer, Mia must forget her broken heart and use her unique abilities to save him. Traveling across dimensions, she enters a strange and hostile world where a rebel faction holds the key to their escape. Her gift of synesthesia is in high demand, and a secret organization of the otherworldly kind has her in their sights. But sabotage and murder may be the least of her worries. Her ex-boyfriend wants a relationship. Her dad wants her to act normal. Her friends want her to stop moping. Who knew faking happy would be the easiest part of senior year?

This story was full of action, I do mean action packed :) I met a lot more people and that was cool I also got to see the other worlds and learned some pretty interesting things (sorry have to read the story to find those out). The way the story ended has made me really happy I would not have chosen for it to end any other way, in fact it was kinda left off as if their could be another story after this on *hint to the author for more* I really had the pages moving in this one, I couldn't stop for the life of me it was just that good. I think the author did a outstanding job with getting this amazing story across, I hate that it had to come too an end put all great things do.
I felt that their was not repeating of events in the story at all they just showed different journeys and obstacles that got in the way and how they got past them. Even if the end of the story had a really awesome shock value to it. :) So in this story I was starting to be all Team Arizona but then things change and I'm back to Team Regulus and I'm after all happy about that, he's just to dreamy to give up hehe. This hole series just blew my mind away I totally 100% enjoyed myself while reading these stories they were fun, lot's of laughs, tears and even anger at some points but it was really nice and easy to read and understand. I loved it!!!
Must Read!!!!
