Enlightened EVE Series Volume 2 AL Waddington Books Reviews

I want to start my review by saying that my problems with this book may have everything to do with the fact that I am a bit older than the target audience. Although I enjoyed the first book in this series, this one really didn’t do it for me. The first book focused a lot on EVE, and what it means to have genetics that allow a person to live in two time periods at once, whereas this book focused almost entirely on the relationship between the two main characters. I feel that Jackson and Jocelyn’s relationship in 2009 never had time to develop naturally, just went from 0-100 in the span of a couple of weeks. The romance progressed too fast for me to really enjoy it or believe it, regardless of the fact that they have an established relationship in 1878. My other problem was that Jocelyn from 2009 didn’t seem mature enough to really handle the seriousness of the relationship. I did like the supporting characters and felt that their actions were believable and oftentimes mirrored my reactions to what was going on.

I urge anyone reading this review to read the book and make your own opinions of it, as I realize (from reading other reviews) that I am in the minority with my viewpoints.

I received a copy of this book free in exchange for an honest review.
The barrier between Jocelyn Timmons consciousness continues to dissolve as she better understands the two lives she lives and enormity of her newly discovered inherited gift of EVE (Essence Voyager Era) which allows her to fall asleep on one plane of existence and awaken on another as her soul travels nightly.

Present-day Jocelyn uncovers the vast wonderment of the Victorian era but soon learns that life then was not as grand for women as she has read in the classics. Still, she finds comfort in the support of family and friends; a bolstering contrast to her overly hectic, career-oriented family in the twenty-first century. Her love for Jackson Chandler strengthens across time and becomes the light she so desperately needs as the world she has always known no longer makes sense. Yet, the closer she is drawn to Jackson by their mutual ability, the more strain develops amongst those she loves in 2009.

On the other side of Jocelyn’s consciousness in 1878, she remains ignorant of EVE. Her life is crumbling around her, yet she finds herself anxiously awaiting the images that invade her dreams. Jocelyn longs to be the woman she portrays in that world yet her jealousy is unbearable. Miscommunication, betrayal and hidden agendas make trust near impossible. The clearer the visions become the more she questions motives of her closest confidants and foregoes revealing the images that plague her perception. As her life seems to unravel, Jocelyn’s two worlds collide, and she is enlightened as the pieces start to fall into place. But is she strong enough to survive the truth? Is Jackson really her destiny? And can their love transcend time?
Enlightened starts out with a prologue, which pretty much goes over what happened in the previous book just not in detail. Enlightened was more focused on the difficulties that the characters faced, especially Jocelyn in dealing with this EVE. As I was reading it I felt like things kept getting harder for Jocelyn instead of easy. I loved the part where both Jocelyn and Jackson could actually touch each other without her getting sick or fainting. You can tell just by reading how much these two loved each other and what it felt like for me to be able to be near each other and to be able to touch them. The author makes you fall in love with them all over again. I am so glad to have read the first 2 books in this series that I can’t wait to read the 3rd one.
Disappointing. I am not in the target age for this book, but even so it did not live up to its potential. The first book, Essence, left me hanging and wanting more to see what would happen. I thought it, too, had great potential especially as far as the sci-fi part of it. In great anticipation I ordered the 2nd book of the series. Do teens nowadays really talk this way in normal conversation with each other? Don't think so. There were some other things that didn't ring true either, but kept on hoping it would get better. NOT. This story was so boring going into great length about what each character was wearing in each scene. Once I'm into a book I see it through, but was glad when it was over. I'm not convinced an older teen girl would like it; don't think a teen boy would. A big yawn.
Different read, kind of creative. Little childish in places though.
Not much else to say, didn't draw me in like some reads.
