REVIEW: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Uncertainty was kindly provided to me by author, Abigail Boyd and is the second book in the Gravity series.

Since recently reading Gravity, I have been quite anxious to get hold of the sequel and I am thankful it didn’t fail to disappoint although it has left me with so many questions I am eager to discover the answers to.

15 year old Ariel Donovan resides in the town of Hell, Michigan and has the uncanny ability to see ghosts. When her best friend, Jenna who has recently been buried returns as a ghost Ariel is eager to investigate what actually happened to her, believing there is more to what they have been told and the old Dexter Orphanage which she dreams about.

Henry Rhodes left Ariel broken hearted when he broke up with her out of the blue and started dating her enemy Lainey, Henry was a big mystery throughout these books as was his unusual family so I am eager to learn more about them.

Ariel is a strong character, she is still at times impulsive and reckless but she yearns for answers in order to move on; I also like the believable relationship she has with her parents. As a reader who's been relentlessly annoyed time in and again by the constant instant-love relationship, I am pleased Ariel doesn’t just forgive Henry for his betrayal but makes him work to earn her trust – there is a strong pull between them that I enjoy reading about.

I love a good murder mystery and Uncertainty was a great sequel to Gravity; the town of Hell is intriguing as is the Thornhill Society which a number of the wealthy residents are members of – including Henry’s family; I am sure each of them are up to nefarious dealings so I am eager to read the next installment.

Each of the secondary characters are fleshed out well, I absolutely adore Theo and Alex brings some humor to this great series, I am quite keen to unravel each of the residents secrets, especially Lainey and the Rhodes.

The suspense and intrigue in this story kept me riveted; Ms Boyd’s world building is wonderful as is her descriptive writing. The budding romance is also something I am eager to see developed.

All in all, a fascinating story with wonderful characterizations that has kept me mesmerized and entertained; the epilogue has really left me intrigued so I am anxious to get hold of the next book in this wonderful series.
