Resilient Patricia Vanasse Emily Gerety David M F Powers Books

I am going to start with a few cosmetic things I liked about this book. I love the cover, although it’s a bit deceiving. I didn’t think I was reading the right book because the description and cover didn’t match. It’s great though. I absolutely loved the chapter headings. That may seem like something silly, but I thought they were beautiful.

I have to say that this book captured me from the very beginning. I honestly couldn’t put this book down. I really like Livia, and Adam. They are both such great characters. I feel for Livia from the very beginning. She has to go to a new school, a new town and has to basically start all over. I really like how the author gave her such a good friend right off the bat. I like that she made the transition from moving to a new town less painful for Livia. I think her judgments are too quick sometimes, but I am sure that comes with the abilities she has been given.

Adam at the beginning is one of those characters that you love to hate, but it doesn’t take long for him to redeem himself. Adams best friend Kyle is also another favorite character of mine. I really like how the author gives the MC’s such a great group of friends. Too many times in book the friends end up stabbing each other in the back, and this book made me happy with the friendships and bonds that were made.

This is an exciting book. It’s intense. It’s emotional. There is a point in the book that Livia is talking to her parents, and I couldn’t help but get teary. I might be a little emotional, but the way it was written made me cry.

The end of this book gets so intense, that I found myself clenching my teeth a lot. The author does a great job with the bad guys in this book as well. There are a few things that happen that I expected or could see coming, but there were also a few that surprised me. I love it when a book does that.

I am definitely looking forward to the next installment to this series. I really like how this book is written, and enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Resilient Patricia Vanasse Emily Gerety David M F Powers Books Reviews

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. All adoration in this review is my own! (Reposting from GR)

Love love love love love! This was such a good book, and I can't wait to read the second!

Resilient is a story about superhumans. In particular, the story focuses on Livia, a transplant to the Pacific Northwest from NYC, and Adam, the bad boy/Mr. Popular at the school she transfers to. Now, everyone has secrets about themselves, but these two have secrets that, should they get out, will bring the vultures circling to make use of or study them. Livia can sense people's emotions, while Adam has an ability to control at least one - anger. For some reason, their powers do not work on each other - an immediate clue that something is different about the other. As their relationship forms and develops, the secrets start dividing them. But, when evidence comes out that proves to both of them that they're similar, they share their skills with each other. They may have found someone that can accept their secrets and maintain the confidence, but would everyone? What consequences will come if someone else realizes what they can do?

The story itself, I adored. The concept isn't that original, but it's the implementation that I love so much. The chapters alternate between being in Livia's or Adam's POV, so you're able to get in each of their heads. There's the trade off of not having anything be much of a surprise in doing so for that in depth, "put yourself in my shoes" kind of story. I think it's completely worth it though, there are still plenty of mysteries, things I don't want to even brush on in fear of spoiling big reveals for anyone. There are things I wonder about even after the story - with how crazy developed the supporting characters are, I want to see some drama! Adam's got a psycho ex that could prove very interesting in the future )

I also really liked the level of detail. It was almost always perfect. I don't want to feel like I'm reading a Grapes of Wrath fan's writing, I want succinct. In explaining how the characters look or feel, or the PNW setting, there's just enough information so you can imagine what the scene looks like. I'm not a big fan of the books that go very quickly from hate to love. It's a little quick, but not too bad. Given the book's length and pacing, writing out more of the mundane details or coming up with additional drama isn't really needed.

If you're into YA/romance/fantasy type stories, you'll enjoy reading this. It doesn't go for the standard vampire/shifter stuff that's so popular right now. Even if the story is not super original, it's different enough from the current releases that it's quite refreshing. If you want a story where you empathize with the characters, a story with a scary amount of reality to it, pick this up. You'll enjoy the ride!
