Tall Stacks of Books: New Series Alert!!! | Broken City by Jessica Sorenson (Plus a mini review on the first book and an update!)

Ok, I know… I have been AWOL. I have been reading a bit but to be honest, I have recently discovered the awesomeness that is Korean Dramas and they have consumed my LIFE. Seriously, I have a K-Drama addiction which has also turned into a K-Pop music addiction as well. (Hands up if you have also been sucked into the world of K-drama) Also, I was working 2 jobs for a bit to get some extra funds.

But I am back though!!!!

It won’t be as frequently as before but I will try to get at least one or two posts a week. Starting with this post (which is the FIRST one in 2016), I am here to talk about a new series I have recently started called ‘Broken City’ by Jessica Sorenson. I have read book one and I am working on book two as we speak. So far, I like it. It’s been awhile since I have picked up a Jessica Sorenson book. Back when I first discovered kindle e-books, she was one of the first authors I read. I instantly fell in love with her ‘Fallen Star’ series and consumed all of the books in a weekend. Lately though I feel like she has been churning out too many books and the quality is not as good as it use to be. But I am still a fan and when I read the synopsis for book one in the ‘Broken City’ series, I decided to give it a try. The book does not have much action for a first book but because the story is interesting, it is holding my interest for the moment. Hopefully, the story picks up more. So far so good though. I would say I give the first book about 3 stars. Mainly because the characters are pretty generic and one-dimensional. Hopefully, there is more character development as the series goes on. I hope that the love triangle that was hinted at does not HAPPEN. I despise love triangles. They are so tedious and unnecessary. Once, I finish book 2, I will write a review. Below you will find deets on the series and where to find them! As for me, I need to finish the LAST two episodes of Neighborhood Hero and watch episodes 9/10 of Descendants of the Sun.

PS: If you are currently reading the ‘Broken City’ Series, let me know what you think in the comments below!

PSS: For my Korean drama fans if you have watched/watching the shows I mentioned, please comment below because I HAVE to know what you’re thinking! Lol

PSSS: Korean drama fans, just comment!!! (My addiction wants anything K-drama related!!!)

Book: Nameless (Broken City Book 1)

Author: Jessica Sorenson

Amazon Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

I live in a world where freedom doesn't exist, and life is a battle for survival. Most people aren't even allowed to have names.

But I had a name once. I was Allura until the Wardens captured me.

They told me I was a Nameless. That I was no one, and my sole purpose was to obey them. And, for a while, I believed them.

I spent years living underground in the channels beneath the city, dreaming of being outside again. I never thought it would happen. That I'd die in the darkness of my cell.

But then three guys show up in the channels and my fate suddenly changes.

Blaise, Ryder, and Reece are part of a secret group working to take down the Wardens and help rescue the Nameless. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I might survive.

But the outside world isn't like how I remember. The city has become even more dangerous, especially for the Nameless. To survive, I'll have to learn how to trust the guys and live in a world full of crime where almost everyone is hunting for me.

Book: Forsaken (Broken City Book 2)

Author: Jessica Sorenson

After Reece, Ryder, and Blaise rescued me from the channels, I thought my imprisoned fate had changed. But during our journey back to the station, we’re captured by the Forsaken.

The Forsaken are known for killing their prisoners, but a fate much worse than death is waiting for us at their camp. If we want to survive, we’ll have to find a way to escape.

But the leader of the Forsaken won’t let me out of her sight. She’s convinced I’m a hybrid and is determined to prove it by forcing me to take a test. A test I’m not sure I can pass.
