Inescapable (The Premonition Series (Volume 1)) [Versión Kindle]

Okay, I apologize upfront if this is a long winded review, but I have a few things I'd like to say. First off, who is Amy Bartol and why would you or me be interested in what she has written? I didn't find Amy by browsing Amazon or any other ebook vendors, like many fellow indie authors, I found Amy Bartol on Twitter. It was from there that I took an interest in her book.

Let me say that I am BLOWN AWAY by this book. The editing alone in this is magnificent! I looked at it from a reader's view as well as an author's view, and I just cannot believe the amount of work that went into this. I can almost feel the pain of the editing that went into this. The way that Amy has written her book, it honestly flows and flows very well. I was very impressed with her style. Amy takes you by the hand and eases you along with the story, allowing things to develop and for ideas to flourish.

When I first started reading the story, without giving anything away, I thought "oh God...another vampire story," but let me tell you, that isn't the attitude I kept when I read further into the book. I'm not going to tell you what it is about, I will not crush your anthill. This book is going to shock and awe you. There were times when I was overwhelmed with excitement and wanted to blow up her twitter account saying "OMG, this part hits home, and this part, and this part!" But I didn't! And I'm sure she was probably glad for that!

This book is a rather long book, at least compared to the lengths I'll read, but this book has just been constructed and written so well that it almost makes me feel like I should have paid for it twice. The length and overall quality of the book for $2.99--astonishing. There are some parts in the book that I personally felt like "okay...we're coasting along" but it's as if Amy could read my mind, because there was always something that happened and got my heart and mind racing. She steadily builds to the climax. It is like a heart beat that is steadily increasing. NOTHING in this book is a dead end that leaves you wondering, or thinking "what was the point of mentioning that?" or "where was this going." Amy has done her homework, Amy has worked incredibly hard on this fantastic piece of literature. There is just so much covered in this book and new or different perspectives on views and just...so much in this book, I could go on forever about it, but I wont. So the only way you are going to know is if you GIVE THIS BOOK A TRY!

So who is Amy Bartol and why would you be interested? Read the book, you'll know why. As far as who she is? A FANTASTIC author and soon to be a household name.

While checking the stats on "Enchantment's" Amazon page, I noticed a new novel in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" window.

The black and white cover didn't excite me -- I'm a magpie, attracted to bright and sparkly things -- but I was intrigued by the single white feather, as well as the title and decided to check it out. Big mistake.

I'm working on an impossible deadline, but once I started reading "Inescapable" by Amy A. Bartol, the revisions on my own novel came to a grinding halt. Shhh... don't tell my editor.

I could NOT put this book down. Here's a few reasons why...

1. The paranormal element of the story is slowly revealed, ratcheting the tension ever higher, while the plot barrels forward at a thrilling pace.

2. The college campus setting is rich with sensory details without bogging the story down with unnecessary literary description.

3. The main characters are multi-faceted with complex needs and desires that create internal as well as external conflict.

4. The female protagonist, Evie is athletic and strong-willed, but still vulnerable. (I love the fact that she plays field hockey!)

5. The male love interests: Russell and Reed. 'Nuff said. I'm still torn between which of these fascinating men I want Evie to choose. It's too bad she can't have them both! (It's not that kind of book ;-)

6. The sexual tension sizzles, but is not the least bit graphic or gratuitous.

7. The shocking twist near the end that changes everything! I can't wait for the sequel to find out what happens next.

The only thing that bothered me at all, was Russell's accent. It felt a bit off to my hickabilly ears, but he's so gosh-danged HOT, I didn't care and it's not a big enough of a problem to dock even half a star.

Ultimately, I recommend this book because I LOVED it. So will you, especially if you're a fan of paranormal romance with a strong element of mystery and danger.

Inescapable was a wonderfully engaging adventure. The main character, Evie, was beautifully introduced. She is strong, independent and full of emotion. These themes carry her through Inescapable. The story was full of intrigue and excitement, I was always eager to pick up my Kindle and rejoin Inescapable (The Premonition Series)Having the story take place at the small college, Crestwood, was very much like a walk down memory lane. I think everyone can relate to many of the characters presented throughout the book and the various collegiate scenarios. Very much looking forward to the next book to pick up the adventure!
