Book Review : Remembrance by Michelle Madow

January 19, 2012 6 Comments

“What we have is strong enough to transcend time. I’ve never trusted anything more in my life.”

– Michelle Madow, Remembrance

Synopsis: New Hampshire high school junior Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England … but she doesn’t know it yet.

Remembrance is the debut novel in Michelle Madow’s Transcend Time Saga. Since I started book blogging, I’ve heard a lot about Michelle and have been very impressed by her success. So, when Michelle put the Kindle version of Remembrance on sale for Black Friday I couldn’t resist.

Paranormal

Contemporary

I like them all, but I like Wander Dust the best. I think the text and the lighting effects fit together nicely. Who do you think wore it best?

“Love: It will kill you and save you, both”

– Lauren Oliver, Delirium

Synopsis: Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love — the deliria — blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.

Delirium tells the story of a world similar to our own with only one exception; Scientists have discovered a cure for the deadliest of all diseases—love, Amor Deliria Nervosa. And at age 18 Lena Holoway is ready to receive her cure.
