My Review:
Whenever I hear of an offer to read a new YA book for free, I jump at the chance. This one first showed up to me as a Facebook ad and I was fascinated. First by the beautifully designed cover, which I came to find out, ties into the story line nicely, then by the plot summary. I'm a sucker for the idea of fate, and a hopeless romantic at that, and The Afterlife of Alyx and Israel (henceforth just referred to as Afterlife) did not let me down. Now, I haven't read the other stories in the Dark Angel series (though I want to now!), but this book can also be read as a standalone (whew!). The reader needs to warned of something important, however- THIS BOOK IS ADDICTIVE. I like to read for a bit before bed, and also before going to work, and I'll be honest, I did not want to leave for work as a result.
As the summary implies, Alyx and Israel knew each other (*ahem* KNEW) in a past life, and when they died they were reincarnated into mortals. Three friends from their past life, all immortal, try to reintroduce Alyx and Israel, but when the two meet, there is a devastating accident that puts Alyx in a coma. Can Israel help Alyx escape all of the trials of the maze city in her mind? Will they remember their past lives? Afterlife is a fast-paced, exciting, and sometimes sexy book. You're definitely going to want to read to find out what happens.
