Book Blurb:<\/h2>\nStep one…you die.<\/b><\/p>\n ONE CHOICE. TWO REALMS. NO SECOND CHANCE.<\/b><\/p>\n Tenley “Ten” Lockwood is an average seventeen-year-old girl\u2026who has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. The reason? Not her obsession with numbers, but her refusal to let her parents choose where she\u2019ll live \u2014 after she dies. There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death.<\/p>\n In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, long-time enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the two realms that will do anything to win the right to her soul. Who can she trust? And what if the realm she’s drawn to isn’t where the boy she’s falling for lives? She just has to stay alive long enough to make a decision\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Ten is a typical teenager waiting to turn 18.\u00a0 The only difference is she is currently in an asylum.\u00a0 Her days are filled with beatings, starving and adding days to her calendar.\u00a0 She only had to make a choice to leave.\u00a0 Choose where she wants to go after her death.\u00a0 Easy enough, rt?\u00a0 Not so much.\u00a0 Choosing between Troika and Myriad isn’t easy for her.\u00a0 But, when she meets two laborers each having their own agenda.\u00a0 Can Ten really have what she wants?\u00a0 Real freedom to choose or will she be forced into a choice she doesn’t want?\u00a0 How do you choose how to spend your Everlife?<\/p>\n I have totally fallen for this new series.\u00a0 Could I love Gena Showalter more?\u00a0 I didn’t think so, but I do.\u00a0\u00a0 This is one of the most creative stories I’ve read in awhile.\u00a0 This is a world that should be family but isn’t.\u00a0 The ideas of death, life after death and reincarnation are all subjects that not many young adult authors attempt to tackle.\u00a0 Ten, Killian and Archer are all dynamic and complex characters.\u00a0 Just when you think you know them, they throw you for a loop.\u00a0 The complex details of Troika and Myriad is astounding.\u00a0 I found myself imagining heaven and hell without the good\/evil connotation.\u00a0 Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down.\u00a0 Gena Showalter weaves a world that you can dive into.\u00a0 Like her White Rabbit Chronicles, the Everlife series will be engaging for young adults but adults will be drawn to the philosophical part of the world.\u00a0 If you haven’t read anything by Gena Showalter, I suggest picking up this gem…and while your at it you will want to pick of the next two because you will want to know what happens next for Ten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As many of you know, I am a huge Gena Showalter fan.\u00a0 Firstlife has been on my tbr list since it came out.\u00a0 I truly love everything that Gena writes.\u00a0 This new YA series is included.\u00a0 It is incredibly imaginative, exciting and engaging.\u00a0 This is only book 1 and I can’t wait to get my…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[531,552,576,621,1813],"class_list":["post-6777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-everlife-series","tag-fantasy","tag-firstlife","tag-gena-showalter","tag-young-adult"],"yoast_head":"\nReview:<\/h2>\n
