Nirvana

Review copy provided via NetGallery in exchange for an honest review

Summary:

When the real world is emptied of all that you love, how can you keep yourself from dependence on the virtual?

Larissa lives in a world where the real and the virtual intermingle. After the supposed death of her soul mate, Andrew, Larissa is able to find solace by escaping to Nirvana, a virtual world where anything is possible – even visits with Andrew. Although Larissa knows that these meetings are not real, she cannot shake her suspicion that Andrew is indeed alive. When she begins an investigation of the Hexagon, the very institution that she has been taught to trust, Larissa uncovers much more than she ever expected. Her biggest challenge, however, remains determining what is real – and what is virtual.

Nirvana is a fast-paced page-turning young adult novel combining elements of the romance, mystery, and science fiction genres. Part of a three-part series, this book introduces readers to a heroine who refuses to give up on the man she loves, even if it means taking on an entire government to do so. As the lines between the real and virtual worlds begin to blur, Larissa and the reader realize that all is not as it seems, and the complex mystery only deepens.

Review:

I finished this book two days ago and have been thinking about just how to write this review. I know this is part of a series, but in my mind an important question came up in the prologue Larissa seemed irritated and bothered by Andrew, so when did they fall so deeply in love? For this reason I can’t give it a five star, but only a four star. For this book has it all when you are talking about a Mystery, Thriller, and you could put in another genre Apocalyptical. Larissa is a very strong heroin, whom you can feel all her emotions and this is why I asked the question how they fell in love. 

The plot is a very complex plot and is developed with passion and intrigue. Larissa and Andrew both feel so much a live that you believe Larissa inner feelings that he isn’t dead.  The whole book flows nicely, and you are left wanting the rest of the series to hurry up and come out so you can continue on with finding out the truths. This book is very well written and edited as I found no grammatical or punctuation errors, which detract from the stores flow.

Conclusion:

Will I recommend this book to others? YES to any teen or YA I know, but since I don’t know many who read this type it’s very unlikely I will.

Would I read other books from this Author?  YES

Is this a Novel or Novella? Novel

Is it priced correctly? Unsure, I live on a fixed budget and would not have spent this kind of money on this book, but I’m glad I was given this free copy to read and review.  For people who don’t live on a tight budge like I do then I feel it’s in the right price range for the quality the person is receiving.
