Rendition In Favor Of Books First World (Walker Saga #1)
A paranormal romance series.An epic journey.
If the Seventine are released, will anyone survive?
Abigail Swish might not love her life, living in gang-ridden New York in 2035 and training to fight and survive with Compound 23. But she is grateful for a few things, especially her no-filter-between-brain-and-mouth best friend Lucy and her escape each night into a dream world far different from her own.
In fact, sometimes she lives for the fleeting moments she spends at night with the man who fuels every romantic fantasy she’s ever had. But each morning reality returns. She could just cry. But she won’t of course; tears don’t change a damn thing.
Then without any warning, a month before her eighteenth birthday, everything does change. A guardian finds her. He explains, in a strangely familiar accent, that she was stashed on Earth for safekeeping and has been lost to her family ever since. And it is time to return home. To the First World; a land of unimagined beauty.
Abigail and Lucy find themselves escaping New York, ending up on another planet and traversing through an unforgiving wilderness. Yeah, because that sort of thing just happens every day. Luckily an unexpected saviour arrives; the man from her dream-world. Brace is six-and-a-half feet of gorgeous perfectness, wrapped in an arrogance like no other. Unable to trust his assistance, and unsure which of her instincts to follow - kiss him or punch him in the mouth - Abigail eventually accepts his help to find her family.
And what a family. Enter Josian, her father; larger than life and apparently not even human. He is Walker, a planet-less race revered as gods, causing mischief and mayhem through-out this star-system. Unfortunately, there is no time for a cosy reunion, since no one explained that by returning to First World her half-Walker genetics would act as a catalyst setting forth a chain of events which could spell disaster for not only her existence but that of all worlds.
First World is book one in the Walker Saga, a seven-book paranormal fantasy series.
Spurn - A Walker Saga Book Two release date set for September 2013.

3.5 stars. I definitely enjoyed this story - a couple things irked me that kept it from loving it. Dramatic situations seemed a bit too easy and over too quickly. Also some instalove and a potential of a love triangle. The actual storyline itself was pretty interesting and I am interested in seeing where the series leads.Fair warning: Im a guy. This review is from a male perspective. Ok now that thats out of the way, let me tell you about this fantastic book!I came across this author and her book on a Goodreads indie author forum (I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review), and I admit my first reaction was Oh no, I have to review a chick-lit paranormal romance. Needless to say, this isnt my normal genre, but I decided to risk my testosterone levels and make it to the end
I've been wanting to read another Jaymin Eve book since LOVING the Curse of the Gods series. This is very different from that series, just so you know.Abigail lives in an alternate post-apocalyptic version of Earth, in which humans have treated the planet like a dumpster for too long. Society has fallen, the soil is barren, the world is basically dead, with stragglers living in gangs, groups of rebels, or, in Abigail's case, raised in small groups of young girls, funded by the rebels, until they
Meh 2.5 starsThis was just okay. There was nothing too annoying or particularly exciting, I did find the heroine's acceptance of where she really came from a bit of a letdown. It was just like - "Oh, I'm from another world and an extra special snowflake. Huh. Oh, look something pretty." Blah.
Something that didnt make a lot of sense in the book to me was the was the main character spoke. Abby claimed to be from New York, but she kept using English terminology like bloody and whilst. Im not saying that I took off a star just for that, but I do wish the author payed more attention to those details. I may not hate it but i didnt really like it either, so I wont continue to read to rest of this series.
DNF after an hour or two into it.I had to give up on this one.Mostly because of the banter between the best friend and the MC. It was stupid.The best friend was stupid.There were too many 80s/90s pop culture references for this book to have been set SO far in the future. Hell, someone MY age (30s now) who was born in the 80s wouldn't have THAT many references, and I'm a pop culture queen. These teenagers far in the future just really wouldn't know.And the clothing. UGH. OMG. We had to be told
