Review: 4 1/2 out of 5 stars

Imaginable is the second book in the Intangible series and was kindly provided to me by the author in exchange for my honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed diving back into the supernatural world J. Meyers has created and revisiting the characters that I grew to like and appreciate from the first book, twins Sera and Luke Raine.

We learn in book one that Luke is a seer and has visions of what is going to happen in the future and Sera is a healer.  Both of the twins understand more about their abilities now and we see further character progression in Imaginable but with knowledge of what they can do also come with consequences and puts them in greater danger with others seeking to use them for their own nefarious purposes. They can handle themselves well but at times both of them seemed to rush head first into things without fully thinking things through which at times drove me batty!

The plot was fast paced and action-packed, poor Sera couldn’t really catch a break and seemed to be the twin everyone wanted; her ability is one which is sought-after by seemingly every supernatural creature so her safety in this book was a focus for a few other characters; Fey still takes her role extremely seriously and Jonas played the protector role well, I absolutely adore this smexy, tortured, extremely loyal vampire; I liked that we get to see the POV’s from Luke, Sera, Fey and Jonas.

The secondary cast of characters are wonderful, I was a big fan of a Fey/Luke relationship in the first book and things have progressed which I really liked; I also love the interaction between Jonas and Sera, the banter and dialogue between all of them is written really well. We also meet a few new characters, I can honestly say I am now a fan of Thorn; I loved his wit and honesty.

I was once again pulled into this captivating story, Ms Meyers writing was entertaining and had me engrossed from the very first page,  she has a delightful way with words and I adored the vivid imagery, especially of the realms and the creatures which inhabited them such as gnomes, goblins and shadows which proved to be the real threat.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Imaginable, the detailed and creative world Meyers has crafted is mesmerising and I am eager to see what is to come of the prophecy and the new breed of Vampire/Human hybrid in the next installment, I am also eager to see more progression with the romance aspect.

Release Date: 31st January 2012

Synopsis. (Goodreads)

Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.

Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.

REVIEW: 5 out of 5 stars

Intangible was kindly provided to me by the author J. Meyers in exchange for my honest review.

Intangible is the story of 17 year-old twins Sera and Luke Raine who have both been gifted with amazing abilities, Luke is a seer and has visions of what is going to happen in the future and Sera is a healer. They have kept their secret hidden from everyone around them unaware that they have been protected since birth.

When Luke has a vision of Sera being killed, his sole focus becomes on protecting her and stopping the events from taking place, something he has never ever been able to do and when certain people appear and things starts to happen, more about their powers are revealed and who they actually are. They are about to find out that vampires, the fae and magic actually exists and they somehow have a unique connection in this paranormal world.

I instantly connected with each of the characters who were developed well, likeable and fascinating in their own way. I loved the interactions between them all, the twins bond was strong and the humor between them wonderful, vampire Jonas certainly had me intrigued, Fey was a wonderful protector and best friend and although I liked Marc I didn’t know whether he could be trusted.

The romance in this story was light and didn’t take away from the main plot; it was really sweet and actually quite refreshing but I was extremely surprised by the turn of events at the end. I’d love to see a Luke/Fey relationship.

Intangible is fast-paced and exciting with many twists and turns, I was so eager to unravel the secrets about Sera and Luke and the prophecy which surrounds them.

I was instantly pulled into this amazing story, Ms Meyers writing was captivating and had me engrossed from page one where we are given Luke’s vision to the very end where we find out whether it will play out or not. Each chapter is an alternating POV from each of the characters which I actually quite liked.

Intangible has a unique premise, wonderful detail, and an interesting cast of characters. I am definitely eager to read more books written by J. Meyers.
