Welcome to my stop on the Keystone blog tour!
Keystone is the second book so let me tell you about the first one... well first :)
Nalena Maxwell has been branded ‘The Waste’ at her new school, due to her mom's obsessive paper hoarding. Nalena desperately wants something to change in her life, but when she receives a sign (and it's the wrong dang one) inviting her into a mysterious, ancient community, too much changes.
What she knew of her family, what she thought of her life and what she believed about her future, is no longer applicable.
Seventeen years worth of family skeletons come crashing into Nalena's life and it is the boy...the one that smiles at her like he wants to hear everything she'll ever say...that already knows her powerful secrets.
But it is only Nalena that can choose between protecting the life that is already crumbling beneath her feet and the one that might sacrifice everything she could ever have.
Keystone:
There’s a man-made storm coming, like a rip in the world, and it’s called the Cusp.
Struggling to fit into the destiny she’s accepted, Nalena Maxwell has been left with one objective: she must find her murdered grandfather’s Memory. Stolen and hidden away by her own father over seventeen years ago, the Memory could be the key to ending the Cusp and destroying the Ianua’s rival community, The Fury.
Driven by each individual’s selfish desires, The Fury has always lacked the loyalty and organization it needs to be an actual force of power.
Until now.
Someone masterminded the Fury’s massive attack on the Ianua, slaughtering twelve of their thirteen community leaders, the Addos. Now there are rumors that the 13th Cura, to which Nali belongs, has gone to the Fury, manipulating the last Addo in order to control the other 12 Curas.
As the Cusp brings the Fury and their own communities against them, Nalena’s Cura must preserve the Ianua, but finding the key to the Cusp isn’t as simple as it seems.
Review of Keystone:
I am just going to tell you upfront.. I absolutely ADORE this book! It and Cornerstone have become two of my Fave Reads for 2012!
From the first page, the writing draws you in. In this book there is so much going on. You have action, suspense, angst, romance, mystery and FUN! Now Misty pulled all this together and made an Amazing 2nd installment! The story line flows so well that I didn't realize how long I had been reading, I was that lost in the story.
The characters are all really well written and are fun, broody, sweet and mysterious at times.
Nalena grows so much in this book. It's very well done, and not just thrown at you or her. She is still learning how to deal with everything and I love how she is put through this in a real way. I Adore her!
Garrett is just amazing :) I love everything about him from his attitude to the way he is protective and has claimed Nalena for his own. He is loyal and caring for everyone he loves.
The Addo is one of my fave characters. He is so funny and out there. Also, he loves cookies.. and now who doesn't love cookies??
Nok oh, this one is great as well... He can hear everyone's thoughts and rarely speaks but when he does it's when you need to listen up! Cute description of him and man I could just picture him in my head!
Zane... Ok so yeah I loved him... he's always talking in innuendos and the way he speaks is Right On :) Now to my fave part about him *besides his awesome talking* His Free Ball ... yes Free Ball... This was the coolest thing I have read in a long time! So much so that I will be doing a whole post about it later. Trust me, you will love this part of the book!
So yeah ... GET THESE BOOKS!! like yesterday! you will fall in love as well :)
