Escape from Eden by Elisa Nader

Escape from Eden
Elisa Nader
Publication date: August 18th 2013
Genres: Thriller, Young Adult
17245704Since the age of ten, Mia has lived under the iron fist of the fundamentalist preacher who lured her mother away to join his fanatical family of followers. In Edenton, a supposed “Garden of Eden” deep in the South American jungle, everyone follows the Reverend’s strict but arbitrary rules—even the mandate of whom they can marry. Now sixteen, Mia dreams of slipping away from the armed guards who keep the faithful in, and the curious out. When the rebellious and sexy Gabriel, a new boy, arrives with his family, Mia sees a chance to escape.
But the scandalous secrets the two discover beyond the compound’s façade are more shocking than anything they ever imagined. While Gabriel has his own terrible secrets, he and Mia bond together, more than friends and freedom fighters. But is there time to think of each other as they race to stop the Reverend’s paranoid plan to free his flock from the corrupt world? Can two teenagers crush a criminal mastermind? And who will die in the fight to save the ones they love from a madman who’s only concerned about his own secrets?



 Review:

I want to be honest... before starting this book I have had a lot issues about not liking this book.
And after begining first chapter I still not sure liking but when  writer started to writing about Mia&Gabriel she got me! I couldn't break up the book somehow and I finished 6 hours later. It was non-stop!

 In these days you cannot find a good dystopia novel. Everyone of  them reminds each other so much.
But this is a really good Dystopia novel which I can easly recommend for dystopia lovers.

About the Author


Hi. I’m Elisa. I like cheese and reading and TV show marathons. Writing is scary, but not as scary as, say, Civil War amputations. I’m an Aquarius. Uh… let’s see… I’m not very good at writing my own biography. Or autobiography. I guess this is reading more like a slightly incoherent personal ad.

Angelfall by Susan Ee

BLURB;
It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.





 “Angels are violent creatures.”
“So I noticed. I used to think they were all sweet and kind.”
“Why would you think that? Even in your Bible, we’re harbingers of doom, willing and able to destroy entire cities. Just because we sometimes warned one or two of you beforehand doesn’t make us altruistic.” 



When I saw this book The name of book  I thought YAY I want to read Angels, I love to read Angel stories.I begin the book because of name. The book Published in 2011 but I read in 2012.

I'm not even sure how to go about reviewing this because I cannot find any words to fit this ..ART! It was amazing. It was Brilliant,Wonderful,Marvelous,Fantastic and many more words I can count. There are lots and lots of dystopian, apocalyptic and angel YA books out there right now. Most of them has had a great first book of their series. But if I line up these books, Angelfall is first.
Angelfall made me squirm and it made me laugh. It made me cheer on the main characters and feel angry at all the bad guys.
 Susan Ee is a phenomonal author creating an amazing new take on the angel/nephillum story line - with a darker edge to it. The plot is so well put together so that you can't help but simply fall into it.
 
 First begining I love the writing style. It's so easy to read. I love Penryn begining. I loved because I saw myself in the book. She loves her sister so much also She loves her mother too. I think Penryn is The Father of the family. She take care of everything. In 6 weeks everything changed...the Angels fall down from the sky and started to destroy our world.
From exterminating humans or capturing them to their will, they caused drastic natural phenomenons,tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes, adding to the destruction.
Penryn is a young girl with a little sister in a wheelchair and a schizophrenic psychotic mother, who frequently believes that demons possess her, and who in one of her moments of clarity makes Penryn learn all sorts of martial arts so she could defend herself from dear mom.
One night when the family tries to find a safe house, they stumble on to a fight between angels. Accidently helping one of them, Penryn enrages the other who snatches her sister and flies away.
Now she has only one goal, - find her sister no matter what. Penryn half enlists half forces Raffe, the injured angel she saved to help her, and while they travel through dark deserted lands and fight for their survival, an unexpected friendship develops...
There are a lot of horrifying moments in this book, it's very intense and action-packed. Penryn is driven by her rage, fear and love, and she makes a very strong and appealing character.

What if the angels had their own agenda? What if the Messenger of God wasn't actually delivering God's will by destroying the world? Why would angels snatch people?

If you never ever read this book,you can't count yourself as a Avid Reader.

Review and #Giveaway : World After by Susan Ee

 It’s a new day in the World After.




 In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.

When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.

Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.

Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?



REVİEW

Everyone thought she's dead.But she's not. She's survived somehow...some unknown thing save her.But what is it? It's still a mistery.Paige alive too...and their mother.
She open her eyes in the Camp.Looks like Obi still trust her.So they want her thoughts for missions.


I’m gonna be sick,” I say.
“I’m ordering you not to,” says Obi.
“Ah, don’t say that,” says Dee-Dum. “She’s a born rebel. She’ll puke just to make a point.”


But someones in the camp,wants to study Paige's body.When the family find out that Penryn started a fight.So they excaped from the camp.Look like they all survived but...


I’m fine, Mom. Thanks for asking.” I grab the bear and wipe the blood off the sword with its chiffon skirt. “Are you okay? How did you survive?”
“Of course you’re fine.” She keeps walking. “You’re the devil’s bride and these are his creatures.”
I slip the blade into the scabbard and put the bear back on top. “I’m not the devil’s bride.”
“He carried you out of the fire and is letting you visit us from the dead. Who else would have those privileges except his bride?”

..her mother and other people afraid of who looks like survived from dead.Penryn's one of them too.
In the same time Penryn looks like she see Raffe in her dream.But why? Unfortunately we can not learn this!! :( Anyway...

The book was amazing also I finished in 2 hours! It's seems so short..to me. I hate that Raffe wasn't have in the book.But this not cause me to broke a start somehow...

The Mother was hateful as always to me.Somehow I didn't get warmed her. She didn't look like a mother but I like that she drawn a Angel's Heart her children's name and she draw in angel's stomach,a flower or something. that was nice. It was so little to read Raffe but as always make me so happy.


Raffe holds me tighter. “It’s about time you showed some sense. You should be afraid.”
“I’m shivering because I’m freezing.”
“You’re cute when you’re afraid.”
I give him a dirty look. “Yeah, you’re cute when you’re afraid too.”
He actually bursts out laughing. “You mean I’m devastatingly handsome when I’m not afraid. Because you’ve never seen me afraid.”
“I said you were cute, not ‘devastatingly handsome.’ ”
