In the blink of an eye everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall what happened afterwards, watching her own damaged body being taken from the wreck. Little by little she struggles to put together the pieces - to figure out what she has lost, what she has left, and the very difficult choice she must make. Heart-wrenchingly beautiful, Mia's story will stay with you for a long, long time

My Views and opinions

This book as really touched me in a way that a book as ever touched me before.  This is a story about Mia, she has had an accident which leads her to be in a state of coma in the hospital. While she is in this state she is evaluating her life to see whether she should stay in her body and continue her life, or if she should just let her sprit go. We look into Mia’s past and see her life before the accident and how different her life outcome had become after the horrible accident. While I started reading this book it never once made me once put the book down as a reason of boredom but instead I had to put the book down couple of times just to take in my emotions and stop basically to stop my tears flowing.

Mia lived a happy and fulfilling life for a girl of her age. She has a great relationship with her family and also a loving relationship with her boyfriend she couldn’t have had asked for more. Throughout the book the story is told from Mia’s perspective while she is having an out-of body experience and she lets us on a journey into her past and ultimately her dictions for the future.

This book exposed me to my deep inner emotions and had no trouble letting me have a tearful moment. I cannot recommend this book enough and hope that if you haven’t read this book yet then to read this book and go through an emotional reading experience that you would never forget.

The Replacement By Brennda Yovenoff

The Replacement by Brennda Yovenoff

(US Cover)

I know that this review is late but I just recently got a hold of this book. Although it’s better late than never though right? Hope you enjoy reading this review.

The Replacement is a story about Mackie Doyle. Mackie is a replacement, a replacement is where a human baby is taken away from their cribs and in its place a supernatural baby is put in its place. For sixteen years, Mackie has found that living in our world has been proving him difficult. This is because he is allergic to blood, iron and consecrated grounds. Having contact with what he is allergic to leads him to have an anaphylactic shock. But he continues to carry on and live on with his life even if it means that he tries to blend in the background and not get involved in social activities.

Tate is a girl at his school, whose baby sister died. After the incident Tate has become mysterious after her sister’s death. Mackie finds that he spends most time with Tate.

I found that the characters in the book to be amazing. They are a very strong individual especially Mackie and Tate. While they are out in different situations they show their courage and dedication. I really liked Mackie’s character because for me it was something different. You don’t know or have a clue before reading what sort of supernatural creature he is, so I feel that, that aspect has helped drew me into the book in the first place. I am so happy that I read the book because I felt very pleased with the story line and how the book took me through an experience that does not evolve the typical YA story. I felt that Tate’s character was very strong and when I say that I really do mean it.  I can honestly say that Tate is one of the strongest female in the book and I looked that. In some YA book you do see that the male character is more dominant in a book but I felt that in the book Tate was stronger and dominant which was refreshing to read.

I highly recommend this book because of the concept of the book as well has how the book was written by Brenda Yovenoff. I loved her writing style in this book so definitely two thumbs up.  If you love reading YA books like me and want something that is going to be a fast paced read, as well as a book that is different to the rest of the other books. Then I definitely advise you to read this book and give this book a chance.

I give this book a 5/5 stars.
