Angie’s Thoughts:
Unlocking Adeline is one book you need to read! I could not put it down it was that amazing. I’m still in awe at what I read.
First off, I absolutely love Addie. Love her! She is a girl from my own heart. She’s stubborn, has a sharp tongue, a temper just like me but still loving, caring and passionate. She was so easy to relate to.
I love Locke too. Well at first I kinda disliked him I mean he’s arrogant, selfish, takes what he wants and has no patience but as the story unfolds we see a completely different side that surprised the heck out of me. I fell in love with him. Not because he was hot but because he was so much more than that.
The story overall was a phenomenal read that will leave me thinking back on it for days. The writing was exceptional. The story was intriguing. Addie, Locke, and all the characters will leave you wanting more.
J.D. Hollyfield did a great job of sucking you into the world of Wren that you actually felt like you were living there yourself. The way she was descriptive of the sceneries and smells even dresses and clothes everyone worn. I could close my eyes and see it. The language is that of the old world too. I’m just flabbergasted by not how Unlocking Adeline was written but everything that J.D. put into it to make sure that the clothing, language, etc matched up. I wish I could give it 10 stars!
Please take note it does end in a small cliff but nothing huge like most books just something that has you groaning and making me impatient for book 2!
