Now in My Bookbag: Judgment by S.J. West (Alternate Earth Series #3)

Judgment begins moments after the cliffhanger at the end of Uprising (Book #2). Jess finds herself bereft of all her memories, and is told she is a friend to Lucian. Despite her suspicions that Lucian is hiding something, she does not see an out for herself.

This is where the book begins. Then, West provides action, adventure, and life-threatening confrontations. These plot points are very exciting! The important take-away lesson revolves around working as a team… allowing each person to play the part God meant for them to play. There is also sacrifice, grief, and heartbreak. It is definitely a tear jerking storyline requiring some tissues at the ready.

West really delivers in this final installment of the Alternate Earth series. The book is so enchanting. It is one of those read straight through books: imaginative, creative, well-written and compelling. There were, however, a couple of unresolved questions. Hopefully there will be another series in the future that begins just after Alternate Earth ends.

Judgement is a great ending to a great series. 4 3/4 stars

Now in My Bookbag: Uprising (Alternate Earth Series Book 2) by SJ West

Once I began to read Uprising, I realised that I needed to go back and reread Book #1, Catalyst. I was lost from the beginning of Uprising and it would have helped to have a prologue containing a very brief summary of Catalyst because of the numerous new characters in this series. I found that I had forgotten who the new characters were and what their place was in the scheme of things.

Other than that fact, I found the book engaging and the concepts always interesting. There were parts that made me laugh, some that made me cry, and an ending that had me saying OMG! Did that really just happen?

I thought that, before the next release, I would read through Catalyst and Uprising again. I felt that Uprising garnered 4 of 5 stars because of its concept and well-written story.
