Blog Tour: Surrender by Elana Johnson

As part of the Surrender Tour hosted by AToMr, I’ll be reviewing both books, Possession and Surrender. But, two reviews in one post? Nah. But…well it’s the beginning of the month, and you know what that calls for! A Mini Freak Out! (But I realized that my “Mini” Freak Out wasn’t so mini. So SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY REVIEW OF SURRENDER.)
Mini FREAK OUT!

Page 402: I DON’T LIKE HIM. BUT NOOO
Page 405: THANK GOD I HAVE SURRENDER.

Possession, while intriguing, had a few major things off. First of all, the romance. No matter how much Jag hurt her, Vi always went back for more. And she bounced between Zenn and Jag too much for my taste. And Jag was very…annoying. He seemed to just USE Vi and I felt partial to Vi. Let’s just say, she reminds me of a friend. Without the romance of course. Also, why did these characters had these powers? It gave no history, no background. And the characters couldn’t feign ignorance either. I mean, they seemed to know most anything, and the characters didn’t even stop to ponder where these special genes came from.

What did I love? The plot, the twists, the way that you never knew if someone was a baddie or a Goodie. It was one of those books where there were so many secrets. Everyone had a secret and with all the name changing, you never knew when what would happen and who was who. It was…shocking to say the least when the last possible thing suddenly became possible. My brain exploded too much, but it was amazing!

  3. Is it strange that I am just now hearing about this series? Like, only in the past couple of weeks? Yeah, I thought so. Since I can take or leave romance, I think I might just like these books. Although, I can't stand a girl just taking shit from a guy without kicking him in the shins or something. I think I need to read these and see what they are all about.

Welcome all! I'd love to hear what you think, even if they're lies saying that my reviews are fantastic. I take flattery in all forms ;D
