I am 20 years old. I am currently going to University of Cincinnati to major in English. I have been an avid reader since I began reading at a very young age. I have decided to take up reviewing as a hobby and to never sell out! My biggest dream as of right now would be to become a very well-known published author. Keeping my fingers crossed. Do not be afraid to email me @ CassandraRichards25@gmail.com if you have any questions or if you would like for me to review your book! :D

Intagible by J. Meyers


Synopsis:

Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.

Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.


*****************************

Luke and Sera are twins and have a very deep connection. No, not only because they are twins, but because they share and keep each other's secrets and the one thing that could make or break any "normal" relationship they have in their lives. Luke can see the future, and Sera can heal. It is a very big secret they both harbor for each other. When Luke has a vision of his beloved sister dying, his world is turned upside down and race against the clock to find a way to save her.
Intangible was an enjoyable read. I couldn't put it down and if I was forced to (believe me, I was) I couldn't stop thinking about it. J. Meyers creates a dark and fascinating world where you don’t know who to trust, and a beautiful realm of the unbelievable. Meyers writing style was easy to follow with amazing imagery and wittiness. There is no doubt in my mind that Meyers is going to be a big self-published author.
Most of the characters were easy to like, and some I just wanted to hurt. Each had their own voice in the book, which as a writer I understand how difficult that can be. Kudos to Meyers for making each character individualized. Sera and Luke together were great and funny, even during serious times, which told me they use humor to cope with stress. I can easily relate with that. Jonas was alright. I didn’t really buy into the hardness of the character. He seemed forced and silly to me. “Hi, I am a vampire. I hate the human race and I am bad ass and the cherished of all vampires. Fear me, puny human.” Then towards the middle you realize why the way he is and you feel slightly bad for him. I say slightly in my own opinion because he still seemed forced to me and I did not admire him for that. Marc. Don’t even get me started on this worthless POS. I could not stand him. In the beginning I absolutely adored him even though he seemed to be against the twins at first. I felt bad for him, he had lost a lot “friends and family” because of his secret, but that gave him no right to act the way he did. He was just an ass, and then I started thinking what his character actually meant to the story, but I couldn’t think of anything of how he was important at all, maybe to foreshadow that there are other “kids” with amazing abilities like Luke and Sera? I have no idea. We’ll just see in the next book, which I hope comes soon because I am just dying to get my hand on it.
The plot was good, and easy to follow, but some parts seemed slow to me while other parts felt like there was going to a big climax and then nothing. I don’t know if it was because the author intentionally did this or if the story just played out that way. Some characters towards the end didn't seem like maybe they were added on in an attempt to have a cliff hanger or if to show that they are indeed not the only people with such abilities. It didn't add up to me. The realm was very original and amazing to read about. I hope we read more about it in the next book.
Over all, Intangible was a great read, and the writing fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone who likes an original story, face paced action and some bad ass characters!
