Knowing who to trust is key but, when Grigori reinforcements arrive, it becomes clear everyone is hiding something. Even Lincoln. The only thing Violet does know: Phoenix's hold over her is more dangerous than ever.
The race to find the one thing that could tilt the balance of power brings them all to the sacred mountains of Jordan, where Violet's power will be pushed to the extreme. And the ultimate betrayal exposed.
The Short Story? - The plot keeps getting better and better! Picking up from where the story finished in Embrace, Enticed is a fantastic sequel to an exciting new series about our favourite mythical creatures! Angels ( and angel/human hybrids - Grigori!) !!! Action-packed, great characters and a refreshing new take on Angel Mythology. Get ready for Violet Eden, she's the next big thing!
The Long Story ? - Quite frankly, I went thought this complete faze where I was obsessed with YA paranormal romance, I still adore PNR, it my genre of choice but I'm also reaching out to other genre now! The thing about The Violet Eden Chapters is that even though it's a PNR, it's quite normal. Violet has daddy issues, she still attends school, she's into art, she still takes exams and goes shopping even among all the chaos! I love how Jessica has combines essence of "human" even among all the action! Which brings me to my next point...
The action! I liked Embrace but I loved this one! Fast-paced, action packed and educational. Lots of research must have gone into this novel, mostly religious history but it's all so interesting! Jessica has weaved history with fiction, creating a whole new take on on "this" particular historical event! She's expanded on what was already fiction about "religion" and taken it to a whole new level. Apparently Lilith wasn't just the first vampire but the mother of the first angel/human hybrid! Twist and turns and a killer- ending! I don't think I can wait for the next one!
Jessica has also further developed the characters during Enticed. We see Violet growing up and becoming more mature. We see her question her actions and take care of the people she loves most. Lots of emotion developed with Lincoln ( main love interest ) as well. Jessica has also introduced new characters!!! Readers are introduced to a trio of Grigori from New York ( cute boys) and their mentors, the characters are the highlight of the novel for me!They make everything, so much more interesting!
I strongly encourage all you Aussie readers to pick up the Violet Eden Chapters and for all you international readers to keep an eye out for it! A heated love-triangle, action-packed storyline and a heroine you're sure to like, The Violet Eden Chapters are amazing! Looking for something unique? Pick Violet Eden!
Rating - 5/5

Been looking forward to this book for a while
ReplyDeleteThe next book I plan to read as soon as I can get it.
ReplyDeleteAH! Am dying to read this series! I hope it releases in the US soon!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first one, but I sure want to! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not an aussie reader, either, LOL, but I'm gonna look for this series.
Interesting how it mixes mythology, religion, romance... Lilith! *-*
Great review cant wait to pick this one up, i loved Embrace, love reppin the Aussies too,
ReplyDeletethe Book Mystress, xx
Good review. This sounds like such a great book. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sold at more cute boys... No, just kidding (kind of.) This series is sounding better and better though! I like that the characterization has been upped and that the main character continues doing regular teenager stuff. I find it a little strange that other books have their characters one day drop everything. I mean, eventually they have to go back, right? What happens then? Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteGreat review, now I'm definitely interested in reading this series! Characters make the book for me, so I'm intrigued now!
ReplyDeleteI like something that balances PNR with plenty of action - thanks for your review!
ReplyDeleteShelleyrae @ Book'd Out
JEALOUS. I can't afford the book at the moment. :( BUT I SO WANNA READ IT.
ReplyDeleteWow, she become Grigori. How come? Does she got the blood or touched by the angel? I wish I can read the book soon.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is gorgeous. I like it
This cover is incredibly beautiful! Wow. I'd buy this book just to look at that cover, regardless of the genre.
ReplyDeleteTerrific review!
Adding to my TBR list (both books in this series). After hearing how fresh and original the first book was and how this one picks up and keeps your interest throughout makes me excited to read these books!
ReplyDeleteI want to read these books. And I am in love with the covers.
ReplyDeleteNice review!
Well if I manage to read the first episode then I will certainly want to read this to see how the story progresses.

If I could actually find this book, I would be sure to read it. It is not in Philippines yet.
ReplyDeleteI want to already have this book in my bookshelf!!
ReplyDeleteThe covers of both books are so gorgeous! I love the sound of the new twist on angels too.
ReplyDeleteI hope this releases in the US! My Aussie friend loves this series!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Cute boys <3 lol This series is sounding better everytime I read something about it! And I love fast-paced books, cause I'm not a very patient person ;D And the fact that the author further the characters is great, cause half the fun of a series is getting to know the characters better and to watch them grow and change! Great review!
ReplyDeleteGreat review! The cover looks really cute! :-)

Your review was great but Ughh im so mad that i dont have the books your reviews make me want to read them badly worser then before.
ReplyDeleteI NEED to read these books soon!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds even better than the first one! And the action you mentioned above makes me want to read it more!
ReplyDeleteOooh!! I like!! Im pretty sure that I will love embrace...(angels...DUH!). So i'd better add enticed to my ever growing pile of TBR books...*sigh*
ReplyDeleteSeems like you enjoyed this one even more than the first book in the series! It's nice to see a character mature over the course of a series of books. It makes sense, because all the things that happen in the books formate them and make them different people, with new experiences which cause them to act in different ways.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of making it spoiler free! :)
How in the world did you make this spoiler free?! I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
ReplyDeletethanks for meke a great review with out spoilers.
ReplyDeleteMiss Lauren - Agree. I have no idea how that is even possible! And oh my, I want to read the books..
ReplyDeleteLove the cover!! Can't wait to read enticed and thanks so much for the review!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the review because of the spoilers, but it must be just.... awesome! And the cover.... i want that book to my bookcase (which is really poor :D).
ReplyDeleteSeems better than the first of the series! I will read them both! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read the first one so I can read this one! Definitely on my TBR list :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a really good review, really want to read this series now!
ReplyDeleteThis review is great as it has me wanting to know more, just as a review should be stirring up interest.
ReplyDeleteThis just cements the fact that I want to read this series even more! Another great review from you ladies!! Both of you are amazing at giving a clear overview without the spoilers!
ReplyDeleteI love that Jessica is taking the religious doctrine to another level and twisting it around. I think, especially when you're dealing with angels, there is no going around the religious aspect, but embracing it and making it your own is a must!!!
Thanks for the awesome review.
