review 1: Traveling in a flash, what a concept! Not going to say anything else because you need to read it and I do not want to give a single thing away.What I liked about the book: Theo - for me it is all about Theo. I love his dedication to Colby, and his strength or character. I love the idea of their abilities, it would be very cool to be able to do what they can do.What I didn't like about the book: The beginning was just a little slow for me, not enough to ding the author for, because sometimes story building is slow.Would I recommend this book: Yes! If you want a light, fun read.
review 2: ARC Review: Lila does it again!! I was blown away the moment I started reading LIMW. This story will grab you pull you in and hold you tight with mystery, danger & romance!! Th... moreis story transcends any other paranormal romance you're every going to read all books will pale in comparison. The reader is woven into a magical world filled with " Lucents" "flashes" ( it's not what y'all are think!) it's a term for time travers, "Seekers" & the ever present rule keepers the "Synod". All brought to vividly to life from the depths of Lila's extremely infinite imagination.We enter the story meeting the strong, self-assured & independent Colby. I loved her the moment I met her. Lila has such a passion for writing strong female roles & I love her for that!! As a Lucent a "flasher" to be exact (Colby's word not mine y'all) she uses her powers to skirt a little on the shady side. Colby makes deliveries of software to high paying companies. This is risky for many reasons. First, she has to deal with humans who know nothing of her kind (& the Synod make sure of that). Also there are groups of rouge flashers called "Resins" that have been captured by humans, experimented on, tortured & eventually had their powers stripped. With nothing left to lose, Resins can profit greatly by turning any flashers or seekers they find my find over to the humans. Colby keeps busy with this job in order to her heart from the searing pain of missing Theo *sigh* do I ever LOVE Theo!!! These two have been best friends since the first grade (isn't that sweet??) & a eventually progressed into a relationship. The closer they became, the more anxious Colby became about her job endangering Theo's life. For his safety, Colby broke up with Theo & tries her best not to think about him (yeah right!)Theo hasn't been sitting around feeling sorry for himself, he's been very busy researching Lucent history & honing his own powers in order to prove to himself (& Colby) he can handle himself no matter what may come. He finds some very fascinating information pertaining to legends shrouded in half truths, but uncovering the secrets will be very difficult & could mean his death.Theo gets a welcome distraction, when his mom calls & invites him on a long weekend with none other Colby's family *giggle* THIS y'all was one of my favorite parts of the book (there were many)!!! You know in movies when two people are in love & everything around them stops except them?? *sigh* that's how it was when Colby & Theo reunited (but not cheesy I promise!!) the passion that these two attempted to contain while apart overflowed & their undeniably chemistry was flying all over!!When they are finally able to get some time alone, Theo explains to Colby what he's discovered & the journey he must take to find his answers. Immediately Colby demands she's coming along & there's nothing he can do about it! This, y'all is when the real adventure begins!! The rest of the book is action packed, heart pounding thrills!! Resins constantly on their trail, the Synod not pleased with their secrets becoming revealed....... add the yummy realization that Colby & Theo are beginning to realize they can't stand to apart & you have the book perfection!!! I have to admit, the Hubs had to put the girls to bed by himself for two nights because I didn't want to put this book down!!! (It's good for him tho right?) I was very pleased with Lila's ending but I'm anxiously awaiting the second book!! *bounces up & down* did you hear that Lila??? less
