Unbreakable (Unraveling #2) by Elizabeth Norris

Synopsis: Four months after Ben disappeared through the portal to his home universe, Janelle believes she’ll never see him again. Her world is still devastated, but life is finally starting to resume some kind of normalcy. Until Interverse Agent Taylor Barclay shows up. Somebody from an alternate universe is running a human trafficking ring, kidnapping people and selling them on different Earths—and Ben is the prime suspect. Now his family has been imprisoned and will be executed if Ben doesn’t turn himself over within five days.

And when Janelle learns that someone she cares about—someone from her own world—has become one of the missing, she knows that she has to help Barclay, regardless of the danger. Now Janelle has five days to track down the real culprit. Five days to locate the missing people before they’re lost forever. Five days to reunite with the boy who stole her heart. But as the clues begin to add up, Janelle realizes that she’s in way over her head—and that she may not have known Ben as well as she thought. Can she uncover the truth before everyone she cares about is killed?

My Word: ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY

Review:
"We climb the stairs. They're sagging and crumbled in places, but we climb the anyway, and to make Barclay less nervous, I try to keep from touching anything. When we get to the fourth floor, I hear something. Correction. I hear someone. I can hear him singing."

OMFG....or maybe in the spirit of this book I should say "ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY" (haha Elijah). This book is too perfect for my horrible reviews, but I just need to get my feelings...OUT.

This book felt like I was in another WORLD where there is a multiverse, the "black hole", portals that transport u between each Earth. It's not even just these things that made it feel like I wasn't just reading words on paper; it was each characters. I LOVEDLOVEDLOVED the characters SO MUCH.

Speaking of characters, lets go right into that: First off, Ben and Janelle's relationship *o*. BEST THING EVER TO HAPPEN IN A BOOK. Seriously, each intimate moment made me squeal, smile, and become all giddy. BEN IS THE MOST AMAZING GUY I WOULD ASK FOR. He is perfect, and even though he made a rough mistake towards the middle of the book, he handled it so well. Alright, before I make a whole ESSAY about Ben, I have to move on.

Okay, Janelle was so kickass and she adapted to the tough situation quickly which is one of the things I love about her. The other thing I love about her is how quickly she thinks of a solution. Damn, if I was in the same place as her when she was trying to break Elijah out, and she had to jump through the fire. I would probably say "screw this" and kill myself. BUT, she found the best solution you can at a time like that.

Next, Elijah. Alright, since I want Ben to stay with Janelle, I'd probably pick Elijah has my newest fictional guy crush. The picture of him on the cover (all the way to the left) is so HOT, and his personality/attitude is awesome. He made me laugh a couple of times, and the way he talks to Janelle, as a friend is so nice/hilarious.

Now it's Cecily. Oh my god, her bubbly attitude and high spirits were all I needed to make me love her. She just makes every bad situation at least a little bit better with her optimistic remarks. She was a good add to this book, and I love how she gets along with pretty much everyone she talks to.

Lastly, Barclay. HE IS THE BEST. At one point, he'd be serious and do his kickass job, and another he would smile and drink tea and tell Janelle his childhood. He would be one of the fictional characters that I'd want to meet. I could seriously picture him in my mind, with short brown hair, bright blue eyes, his high jawline. Maybe a little like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but a little younger and with blue eyes.

That's him!^^^

Okay, now the overall plot (which I should've done before the characters, but whatever :) ) Once, IT WAS JUST A HESITATION, I thought it would be awesome to be in Janelle's world and have a multiverse, where you can portal anywhere and try to kill them bad guys and make out with the best guy I've ever met AKA BEN and have a BFF like Cecily and have an awesome guy friend like Elijah. BUT, I realized that then, basically most of everyone I loved on my own Earth would be dead, and I'd have a DOUBLE from another world which would be awkward... ALSO I'd have gotten so beat up and almost killed so many times that I'd probably need therapy afterwards. Anyway, EXCLUDING all of the killing and doubles and stuff, Janelle's life would probably be my paradise haha. Continuing, this book was so well thought out with the idea of the human trafficking between universes. Also, the different people (a lot of people from the IA) who were apart of it. ALSO, the Struz idea was AWESOME. Same with when Janelle sees Ben's double and knows it's not him :D, and the Ben sees Janelle's double, but doesn't realize that it's not her. >:( ;)

I think I covered everything, and I HOPEHOPEHOPE (I haven't done the research yet) that there is a third book. OMG THERE BETTER BE A THIRD BOOK!!!!!! Especially the last sentence of Unbreakable made it seem like there was a third book! "And we're going to face whatever comes next together."

Undone (Unraveling #1.5) by Elizabeth Norris

GREAT BOOK. AHHH OMG I read this book BEFORE reading Unbreakable, but I'm typing the review AFTER I read Unbreakable, and trust me.....there's a big twist. SINCE I read this book before the last one, I kind of found out what the "big twist" is in Unbreakable before it actually happens. There were some events that foreshadowed the twist that made me realize that the end of Undone is not so true as you'd THINK. That's all I'm going to say about the end! Anyway, it was really awesome to get to view B...more Synopsis   "Before the accident. Before their universes collided. Before they fell in love. Riveting and romantic, Undone: An Unraveling Novella contains three short stories set in the world of Unraveling, the first book in the gripping sci-fi duology by Elizabeth Norris. Before Ben Michaels saved Janelle Tenner’s life, Janelle saved Ben when he stumbled through an interuniverse portal into a completely new world. That day, he fell in love with the girl of his dreams. And he never forgot her. Through three stories told from Ben’s point of view, learn how Ben and his friends discovered their ability to travel between worlds, how Ben first met Janelle, and how he pined for her for years before he actually got the chance to meet her, save her life, and capture her heart.

Anyway, it was really awesome to get to view Ben's POV and how he realizes that his world is not what it used to be. I loved the events that happened and Elijah especially made this novella more interesting haha because he's to BLAME for all of the events happening in the 2nd book too ;).  ★★★★

Unraveling (Unraveling #1) by Elizabeth Norris

Synopsis: Two days before the start of her junior year, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed—as in blinding light, scenes of her life flashing before her, and then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she’s opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And even though it isn’t possible, Janelle knows—with every fiber of her being—that Ben has somehow brought her back to life.

But her reincarnation, and Ben’s possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles that Janelle must solve. While snooping in her FBI-agent father’s files for clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down to something—but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can no longer deny what’s right in front of her: Everything that’s happened—the accident, the murder, the countdown clock, Ben’s sudden appearance in her life—points to the end of life as she knows it. And as the clock ticks down, she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she’s going to need to uncover Ben’s secrets—and keep from falling in love with him in the process.

My Word/Phrase: BEN IS MINE

WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS SPOILERS NOT FOR THE EYES OF HOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ IT YETAlso, sorry for my horribly writen review with way too many spoilers down there. It's early and I'm tired!

"I'm still not a single step closer to figuring out what to do to stop this countdown.

Which means I've become obsessed with it-as if watching it tick might somehow make it slow down or at least not feel like it's speeding up.

Which is why at 5:10 p.m. on Sunday evening, I know the exact moment four days to Wave Function Collapse becomes three.

03:23:59:59" (pg 332)


THINGS I LOVED IN THIS BOOK:
-everything

YES. I love Ben, and Alex, and Jared, and her father, and Struz, and Janelle, and even Elijah. (Reid is not to be spoken about during this review -_- ) Yes, the characters were brilliant. (view spoiler)That's why I was so sad when I realized about half of them died at the end of the book :( Seriously, this book was fabulous. The only downside was that, during the beginning of the novel, I already had the book set up in my mind, like what was going to happen in the end and all that, but my idea was no where NEAR what actually happened in the book. And wow this book was well thought out from literally, the beginning to end.

Part of the reason for the five star rating I gave it was, honestly, the cover! I only like covers with actual people if they look the same as what I would think of them in my mind, and this cover fits EXACTLY to Ben and Janelle. (And Ben.....oh my...just..can I have him? Please?) Everything in this book fits so perfectly to the beginning where Janelle died from the TRUCK and Ben healed her to (view spoiler)Barclay helping Janelle and Ben and telling them about the multiverse. This book was seriously well thought out. The humor in this book made me laugh out loud and Janelle's personality was awesome (Her saying that she's a nerd by liking certain things or doing things when she was little. Also, her love of swimming.) And, from the "About The Author", this is Elizabeth Norris's first book. All I can say, this book has gone beyond my expectations (or rather, my idea of what will actually hapen in the book before reading it!) This book earned it's five stars and, oh my God I can't stop looking at Ben in the cover!
