In the mysterious world of magic, where nothing is what it seems, only blood never lies. It binds generations, endowing their descendants with powers and knowledge. Sometimes it heals, and sometimes, it becomes a curse that turns you into someone you never wanted to be…

Eileen and her friends did their best to destroy the Dragons brotherhood, one of the most dangerous organizations that ever existed. Could they have imagined how bad the consequences of their actions would be? Now, they are forced to watch one of their friends die. If only Evan were not bound to Eileen and Amanda, who will have to go through the hell of his death with him…

But what if death could be just an illusion? An illusion where every step you take brings you closer to the new life where nothing will ever be the same… Will the powers of love and magic be enough to survive?.. Or will destroying the world of supernatural become the only way to keep their hearts beating?

REVIEW:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!!

I’ll start off by saying that this is a book series I would recommend reading from the first book, Love Lines. I think you would be a little lost just stepping into the world of Love Lines without a little background, but none the less Diana has done a great job trying to fill you in.

This book is done the POV of my favorite characters!! The wonderful couple Eileen and Christian, and my next two loves, Evan and Amanda. Powerful bonds connect all of these characters.

In the beginning Diana picks up right where we left off, Evan is dying! (SPOILER!) He’s not so much dying as he is evolving. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes Evan is becoming more powerful and unfortunately Eileen is enduring this transformation with him. Talk about intense. They are pretty much cut off from the outside world and having to endure 12 days of pain, while Eileen catches glimpse of Evan’s past. What could all these dream mean and when he wakes up what powers will he have? Don’t worry though because he’s the same charming, smart ass that we have all come to love so much and those new found powers will come in handy.

During this book I think characters are really developing. I always love Eileen’s strength and courage and love for her friends and now Amanda is working her way up the ladder and into my heart more. But what I didn’t see coming was the end. Talk about pulling my heart strings. It was worth it. It’s always worth it.

Bonds will grow, pasts and connections are made, and a lot is revealed in this installment of the Love Lines Series. It’s a book you don’t want to miss and it makes me feel like I’m reading one of the Harry Potter books, just one isn’t enough. I need them all!

Now, start writing Diana! :)

One of my favorite scenes:

Evan: “why didn’t you come to me?”

(character): “what would I say? Touch me? Kiss me? Make love to me?”

“Evan: “Yeah, why not?”

Oh man, this made me laugh and at the same time my heart was beating fast. God, how I wanted them to connect again with passion… okay, that’s enough of that scene. You will just have to read the book to find out what’s going on. J

Okay… one more scene:

“In your dreams!” I snapped, turning to the door.

“You’re seen my dreams, Baby. I don’t talk much there.”

Haha they crack me up!!

Review of Diamond Sky by Diana Nixon

Diana Nixon has sucked me into her world from day one of the Love Lines series and I can’t thank her enough to allow me a chance to read and review her work with an ARC.

What I love about her work is that I think it’s fun, fresh, and very creative. The depth of not only her imagination, but her characters are so refreshing. The humor, the heart ache, the love, and the overall whole experience wouldn’t have been the same with any other written characters. So I applauded Diana for continuously making me fall in love with all of her characters throughout all of her books.

With that being said let’s get onto the real reason you are reading this blog post. J The review!

Diamond Sky is a young adult fantasy novel that will push the limits of the Love Lines series to new and terrifying heights. Be prepared to laugh, love, and even yell at your reading device (I did) as you follow along with Eileen, Christian, and Evan (along with plenty of other interesting characters) in their journey to find not only spells to protect not only themselves but their friends.

If you are not familiar with the Love Lines series then you might get a little lost as you dive into the world of Dever, a school for people with certain abilities in any of the seven groups: Feta, Meridin, Venturo, Vero, Embry, Fairey, and wizardy. But it won’t take long to get your bearings as Diana quickly catchs you up to speed on the invisible connections between your cast of characters such as the bonds that tie Eileen to Christian, Amanda, and Evan.

Overall, I would recommend all of the Love Lines books to anyone. It is a fantasy young adult series that has the ability to capture the heart of any who read it and I can see this as being one of those stories that will stay with me for a long time.

I look forward to seeing where her next book in the series will take us. This is the part I hate the most, the waiting! J

I give this book 5 out of 5

The traces of supernatural powers have always been crossing the world of human beings. Many people know about the existence of healers, mind readers, oneiromancers and wizards. But for centuries their lives have been kept secret and no one has ever heard about one special place, where those gifted people studied.

Neither has Eileen Clark, whose life has never been different from the one other teenagers have.

But one day everything changes. Eileen finds out that she belongs to the mysterious world of unnatural and the destiny leads her to Dever - a closed university for the people like her.

Nothing will ever be the same again.

New life, new friends, new enemies.

But the true love will never let her down. It will help to go through everything.

Losing Christian hasn’t been easy for Eileen. But she’s not going to give up. Now she has to find a way to bring him back from the magical dream, where he was taken by Eric Lanster. Together with her friend Evan, Eileen goes to France – Meridin’s motherland, where she hopes to find out the mysteries of the dream’s magic. In a small town named Fontainbleau they meet a wizard, who turns out to know a lot of their secrets.

Determined to help Eileen, Evan agrees to complete some special dream piercing training. But he can’t even imagine what he has put himself into. The magic of dreams keeps a lot of secrets. The spells are dangerous and their consequences no one is able to predict.

Friends can become enemies.

The ones they used to call their family can become traitors.

But the ones they love will always be there to help.

But one day you realize that yesterday should be left in the past. Because tomorrow your new life begins, and you go back to the drawing board.
