EMBODY by Jamie Magee!!!!

Synopsis:

Not many Scorpio’s are known for their patience, and Willow Haywood is no different. Her only desire is to love Landen Chambers and redeem the lost souls of Esterious, but the path to that desire is long, dark and dangerous...
Before Willow’s life had a chance to balance the sudden revelations and grief she had to endure to get to Chara a disturbing discovery is made. A photo, one that shows Willow blissfully embracing the flawless image of Drake Blakeshire; giving her not only proof that she had lived before, but that she had loved him. 
Running away from the memory of Drake’s hypnotizing touch, and the prophecy set before her seemed like the logical thing to do. That is, until a dark dream reignites her passion to save the hopeless dimension of Esterious. Willow struggles to find patience – to learn everything she needs to know before she faces Drake again, but her eagerness is dangerous and one step in the wrong direction takes everything and everyone away from her – the only way to survive this trial is for Willow to remember who she is and what she really wants out of this life.


Darra's Review:

This series is amazing. I am reading the 4th book now. I have to tell you that these books are intense. I don't think I have ever bored in the 3 books I have read far. Both Willow and Landen go to into the city Delen to help the people that hold sorrow in their minds. The two of them see a woman crying on the road in Charra. When they go to Delen they find her along the road with her dying sister. Willow takes over her sisters body and ends up getting stuck. Landon can't get to her since she now doesn't remember who she is.
It goes into more detail and she ends up at Drakes palace. This is where your feelings change for Drake. Despite the dark he represents he loves Willow so much all he wants to do is take care of her so she will stay by his side. She is stuck in a dying body and only has a few days before it dies. She has to get out and remember who she is.
The ending is tragic and wonderful at the same time. The older sister, Stella ends up finding her soul mate. But I can't tell you who it is.
I still love Landon and all he does for Willow but now I can't help leaving a place of my heart for Drake. So sad. :-(
I would give this book a 4.3. However I have read the first 3, starting the forth book. So far I would give the series a 4.4. I am already afraid of book four. I can already see myself screaming out loud at Willow.


Sunny's Review:

I love this series. I am so excited to read it and can't wait to get to each book. If you have not read Insight go get it now. It is free on bn.com and amazon. This series is a little bit different than what we have been reading.  There are spoilers so make sure that you do not read any further if you have not read Insight!!

So you know that Willow and Landen are soul mates and have been in each other's dreams since they were children. Unfortunately, Drake thinks that Willow is really his soul mate and continues to try to get her to come to him. Landen and Willow are trying to figure out all of their insights and how to use them to help the people of Esterious. I like this book because you get to see them learning what to do and not to do. You also get to see a little bit more about life in Charra. 

You know that I love Landen and Drake just comes off so sleazy in Insight. Well, Jamie goes ahead and throws you a curveball in this book. You get to see a little bit more of Drake and what he is really feeling. There are parts that make me just want to go hug him (and we all know how much I hate touching!).  You get to see some interaction b/t Willow and Drake and you find out that not everything is a black and white as it seems. I could not put this book down. I mean I was up until 2 am b/c as soon as I was done with this book I started Image which is the next book. You will see that review soon.
I would rate this book a 4.2.

BUY THE BOOKS!


About Jamie Magee:

The fun non boring Bio :) 
I'm an obsessive daydreamer. Lover of loud alternative music. Addicted to Red Bull. I love to laugh until it hurts. Fall is my favorite season. Black is my favorite 'shade.' Strong believer in the saying: there is a reason for everything, therefore I search for 'marked moments' every moment of everyday...and I find them. Life is beautiful!



Boring one....
Jamie Magee has always believed that each of us have a defining gift that sets us apart from the rest of the world, she has always envied those who have known from their first breath what their gift was. Not knowing hers, she began a career in the fast paced world of business. Raising a young family, and competing to rise higher in that field would drive some to the point of insanity, but she always found a moment of escape in a passing daydream. Her imagination would take her to places she'd never been, introduce her to people she's never known. Insight, her debuting novel, is a result of that powerful imagination. Today, she is grateful that not knowing what defined her, led her on a path of discovery that would always be a part of her. 

Seriously--READ THIS SERIES!! Then read the See Series!!!

Flash Back Reading Week


We are so grateful to be able to get a sneak read of many great books lately. However there are just a few old book boyfriends that I want to reread. I had my vacation planned out to do so.

However, Sunny & I have been very lucky to be able to read both Series that Jamie Magee has out, The See Series and Insight Series. Which are both fantastic. I have read the first book of the Insight Series and the first 2 of See.

And here it is. I am putting aside all my past boyfriends to continue reading some of my favorite guys. Landon, Daven, Drake, Silas and Britain from both series. So you will be seeing us post up all her books this week with our fantastic reviews.

INSIGHT!!! GIVEAWAY!!




Before that fateful summer night, Willow had balanced the insight of emotion, and the vivid images. That night, the figure in her nightmare marked her wrist with a star, giving her father no choice but to tell Willow a family secret that would abruptly change life, as she knew it, forever. Before Willow had time to absorb the shock of her father's secret, her soul mate that had shared every stunning dream with her, found her, and darkness captured her closest friends. In order to save them, she must weave through broken myths and the undeniable power of the Zodiac. In the end, Willow discovers that at the moment of our birth we are all given a divine gift.




Darra:

I won't lie, I loved this book. Super excited about it and already have read the second book in the series of See. Not trying to be a spoiler but the characters overlap in both books. I love Landon and the fact he comes to see her every night in her dreams is unbelievable. Absolute true love before they meet. Landon does all these things for her before they even meet and it makes your heart melt.

Willow also has nightmares of Drake as well. I can't tell you how he seems to interlock with her life, but it goes back decades. I do like Drake in a deep down dark way. Not all of this is his fault. He has to live with the life that he was given to him. And if that means bringing Willow, the girl he loves, to Hell(essentially) than that is what he has to do.

I do not want to give you more of the story that will ruin it. I love all the characters, Landon's & Willow's family. There is so many things that happen that are unexpected and really I can't compare any other books to this. I like reading books that have a original story. And this series is it.

I could say I recommend the book however that is a understatement. This is a MUST READ. A book that you will non stop read. You can't put it down.
I give this book a 4.5. Can't wait to read the rest of the series!  

Sunny:

I really loved this book. Willow has a gift and tries to help people as she sees them needing her. She finds out her whole life is about to change. The guy in her nightmare marks her so that he can find her. Her parents tell her they are moving to a different world to keep her safe. She figures out a way to get a message to Landen so that he can come find her. I like Willow because she isn't afraid to do what she has to do to live and in the end survive. 

Landen...LOVE him! He has been in Willow's dreams forever. He knows they are soul mates but his family has not allowed him to go look for her. When she gets a message to him he telling him she needs him he goes to her. From that moment they can't be separated. Landen is awesome in that Willow has been it for him since day 1. He built them a house and has basically been waiting for her so they can be together. I mean how perfect can a guy be! 

I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this series. If you remember we read See by Jamie Magee not too long ago and loved that book too. These series to come together at certain points but then go back to their own lines again . I can't tell you how excited I am to have found these books. They are a little different from what we have been reading and I love it! Seriously go get these books. Darra and I have been trying to fit reading the rest of the books into our schedules. We pulled the blog calendar so that we could find out what review books could be put off.
