Release Day: Losing Lila by Sarah Alderson

The amazing Losing Lila, sequel to Hunting Lila, by Sarah Alderson is released today! Yes, it's out now! Have no clue what I'm on about? Read on!

Losing Lila by Sarah Alderson - Alex and Lila are on the run, desperately trying to stay one step ahead of the Unit, which somehow is managing to track their every move. Whilst Alex is determined to keep Lila safe and her ability secret at any cost, Lila’s only thought is of finding a way back to California so that she can rescue her brother and mother from the military base where they’re being held.

Struggling to control both her growing power and her deepening feelings for Alex, Lila decides the time has finally come to stop running and start fighting. Together with Alex, Demos, and the people she’s come to think of as family, Lila plans not just to save her brother and mother, but to completely destroy the Unit and everything it stands for.

But the plan requires Lila to return alone to California, make friends with the enemy, and to risk losing everything - Alex, her family, and even her life. From Goodreads.

Exciting, huh? AND it includes an awesome short story at the back of the book from Alex's point of view of early events in Hunting Lila. I have been fortunate enough to have read it already, so you can read my rave review. If you fancy it, you can also check out my reviews for Hunting Lila and Catching Suki.


Speaking of Catching Suki - the awesome prequel short story to Hunting Lila (that should only be read after reading Hunting Lila) - the Simon and Schuster UK Facebook Page is allowing readers to download it for FREE! What are you waiting for?! Get to reading!

Review: Catching Suki by Sarah Alderson

Catching Suki by Sarah Alderson - WARNING! I cannot review this short story without spoiling the other books in the series. Read no further if you're planning on reading this series and don't want it spoiled for you.

The Unit are closing in and Demos needs one of his team to go deep cover.

Enter Suki.

Fashion obsessed, boy-crazy and more than a little kooky, Suki is a mind reader with a special talent for buying shoes and for listening in on private conversations.

Tasked with infiltrating the enemy (namely Jack and Alex) Suki rises to the challenge, leaving a trail of chaos, destruction (and a large room service bill) in her wake.

A prequel to the events of Hunting Lila and including many of the characters from the book, this short story told through Suki’s eyes, will have you laughing out loud while gripping the edge of your seat. From SarahAlderson.com

Fated by Sarah Alderson

I was sent this review copy for free by Simon & Schuster for the purpose of providing an honest review.

What happens when you discover you aren't who you thought you were? And that the person you love is the person who will betray you? If your fate is already determined, can you fight it?

When Evie Tremain discovers that she’s the last in a long line of Demon slayers and that she’s being hunted by an elite band of assassins –Shapeshifters, Vampires and Mixen demons amongst them – she knows she can’t run. They’ll find her wherever she goes. Instead she must learn to stand and fight.

But when the half-human, half-Shadow Warrior Lucas Gray - is sent to spy on Evie and then ordered to kill her before she can fulfil a dangerous prophecy, their fates become inextricably linked. The war that has raged for one thousand years between humans and demons is about to reach a devastating and inevitable conclusion. Either one or both of them will die before this war ends.

If your life becomes bound to another’s, what will it take to sever it? From Amazon UK

17-year-old Lila has two secrets she's prepared to take to the grave. The first is that she can move things just by looking at them. The second is that she's been in love with her brother's best friend, Alex, since forever. After a mugging exposes her unique ability, Lila decides to run to the only people she can trust - her brother and Alex. They live in Southern California where they work for a secret organisation called The Unit, and Lila discovers that the two of them are hunting down the men who murdered her mother five years before. And that they've found them. In a world where nothing and no one is quite as they seem, Lila quickly realises that she is not alone - there are others out there just like her - people with special powers -and her mother's killer is one of them...
