Release Date: September 26, 2013
Publisher: LazyDay Publishing; 246 pages
Olivia has been on the run from the government of Cabal since the marriage ceremony. Finally settling in and finding herself a place to call home, in Shadow, Olivia and Joshua are preparing for the uprising that they and the rebel alliance have been planning for months.
With new abilities and special talents, from Mindonsiphan, Olivia learns that she can do more than most ordinary eighteen year olds. Learning both to hide and perfect her skills will be one of the biggest challenges she'll be forced to face.
A constant rollercoaster of emotion and adventure await Olivia and Joshua, as they embark on a journey to the rebel city of Torv, and what was once home, Genesis.
I started this series when I was just starting to get into my obsession with dystopia and I feel in love with it right away. Aberrant was full of action and was a page turner, Moirai was no different. The action in this book was much later then in Aberrant, but it was still plenty action filled.
Moirai takes places months after Olivia and Joshua find Shadow and make it their home. This one focuses, I felt, more on the relationship between Olivia and Joshua and it helps bring you into their world a little better. Understand they thought process. The blurb says a constant roller coaster of emotion and it is, but its not in a bad way at all. Once Olivia travels to Torv, that is where is getting nail biting and where you cannot put this book down.
When Olivia is in Torv and then makes her way back to Genesis, this book just gets more and more intense. What Olivia does with her "special" new powers is just awesome!I have to say I am very happy I have the next book on hand to read because if I had to wait, I wouldn't be a very happy girl. There is a killer cliffhanger in this book, but it is one that leave you thirsty for more.
If this series isn't one you have picked up yet, or thought about, I urge you to do so. You will not be disappointed. Moirai was an amazing sequel to Aberrant amd it didn't disappoint me in the slightest!
Moirai Excerpt
“He wants her thrown in the dumpster.” I grimaced as I approached the mattress. “Help me.” I gestured towards the body. “I can't carry her on my own.” Even if I could, I wasn't doing this alone.
“I'm not throwing her away like garbage!” Lisa crossed her arms. “Think of something else, Jacqueline.”
“We could grab some wood, wrap her body, and burn her.” I glanced around the small bedroom. It was mostly empty, except for the dresser against the wall. There were no trinkets, no signs of another life outside of Genesis. I couldn't help but wonder if anyone missed her from back home.
“How are we going to do that without getting caught?” Lisa asked.
“I don't know. Craynor will know we did it.” We were the ones that were told to throw the body away.
“We could find a place in the far end of the lot and bury her.”
Lisa frowned. “No, I like the idea of burning her body. We'd be making a statement. Anita would have approved.”
“If we get caught, we'll be killed,” I reminded her. So much for staying out of trouble.
“He's killing his servants. You don't think that demands attention?” Lisa huffed. “I would have liked to know what I was getting involved in before I worked here.”
“It wasn't like you had a choice.” I reminded her bitterly. That was what we were fighting for: our freedom to make choices. Whether they were right or wrong, they were our choices to make.
“Even so,” Lisa scoffed, “she deserves more than being thrown away like a piece of trash.”
Footsteps clomped through the hallway, just outside the door. “Well whatever we decide, we need to do it fast.”
