I'm so glad the Author asked my to review this book.
Avery Snow is this young women who doesn't think much of herself and has only one friend,her boss Kerri. Avery soon finds out that she has lived many lives before this one and her soul mate Landon is stalking her soul,she finds this all out by her Spirit Guide Ianni who is a angel. Avery also finds out about the Dark Guides who are after her and Landon. All of this starts happening at the worst time because Avery has just found out that the hot and sexy Bartender Dallas she has been crushing on likes her just as much as she likes him.
I don't usually ready about past lives,it's just not my thing but I have to say, this story was really great! Avery is such a strong person and so are the other characters in the book. I love how the author goes into great detail about all the characters lives and surroundings. I also loved the love triangle that goes on between Avery,Landon and Dallas,I was dying to find out who Avery ended up with and tried to keep myself from skipping to the back of the book to look lol. I also loved that this book had some action in it. Over all I gave this a 5 out of 5 and I look forward to starting book 2(The Unraveling of Avery Snow
Fascinating and Intriguing
I was particularly fascintated by this new series because its about past lives, twin souls or affinity's, as they are known. I feel the author really gave an acurrate description of what twin souls are and the connection, or pull, that these rare souls have in each life, always finding each other from one life to the next regardless of other lovers or spouses they would already have in that life.
In this intriguing first book in the series, Avery Snow is just an ordinary young woma, living an ordinary life, not much family to speak of except for her Aunt Pauline and a father she hasn't seen since she was a child. Her closest and only friend, Kerri, is also her boss. Avery is a caregiver at the local retirement village. Her favorite resident, Lucy, passes away suddenly and Avery's life starts going to hell. Lucy gives Avery a warning just before she takes her last breath, about a man named Cooper and someone watching her. After Lucy passes away, Avery begins having a hard time sleeping, sometimes only getting by with 3-4 hrs of sleep a night. Then one night, Avery recieves a visit from an unlikely visitor, her Spirit Guide, an angel named Ianni. Avery is convinced her encounter was just a bizzarre dream, but when the things Ianni told Avery start emerging and becoming true, Avery is just a bit freaked out. Before she knows it, Avery is in a bizzarre love triangle, with cousins; one man being Dallas, someone she's had a crush on for over a year, and Landon, her twin soul and husband/lover in her previous 3 lives. Avery must choose between what she wants and what she feels compelled or pulled to do and that is to stop fighting fate and join Landon in this life as well. Things become more difficult when Ianni feels it necessary to fill Dallas (Avery's crush and now boyfriend) in on this crazy situation and Dallas is actually supportive and willing to help Avery make the right decision. I like Dallas, he's really a stand up kind of guy. On the other hand, Landon is paid a visit from his Spirit Guide, Lillith, who wants Landon and Avery to be together again in this life and therefore shows herself to Landon, and tells him everything. So, now everyone is on the same page, but not necessarily wanting the same things. Avery loves both Dallas and Landon and both men love Avery, but more importantly, both men WANT TO BE WITH Avery. Everything is complicated and Avery is beyond confused. And if things couldn't get any more crazy, Dedrick and Benjamin, Dark Guides who thrive off of souls in sadness and despair want Avery and Landon's souls because Twin Souls, Affinity's, make these dark guides more powerful. All decisions on who she should be with are put on hold when Landon's soul is in jeapordy of being taken by Dedrick and Avery must enlist the help of an angel not afraid to break the rules, a psychic, a Watcher, and another Affinity.
This was a great story of love, loss, truth, and destiny. Anyone who is intrigued with past lives will love the accuaracy of this story and anyone who is not familiar with past lives will love learning about what Affinities are and how the people who are in our lives now have always been with us. I give this 5 stars
Enjoyed it, looking forward to second book
The many lives of Avery Snow (Past lives trilogy book 1)
Christy Sloat
Reviewed by S. Bree High
All right so when I first started reading, I thought hmm? Am I going to get into this book? So I just read it and then before I realized it, I had read the whole book. I mean honestly it was as if I was under the spell of the book and could not stop. The story started opening up and the more I learned the more invested I became. Now I want book two...today!
I have read several books that play around with the past lives and soul mates. I have to say though Christy Sloat gave it a new spin and facelift. I found the storyline very romantic and enjoyable. Avery today is on her fourth life. (A boring life, her father is gone and her mother passed) Her lives span back to the 1800's in the story. She was married to a man named Henry and she loved him, with devotion and utter love. The heart wrenching type of love we all want. They had a life together with children and happiness. After this life together on earth ended in heaven they were given the chance to start over again. Avery made the choice to start over. I did not feel Henry would have made this choice. He just could not live without her so he chose this too. Henry now keeps finding his way back to her. I admit I shed a few tears with the flashbacks in the book and the story of the two of them and it was so touching and heartbreaking all at the same time.
Moving to today, we have a problem. Landon is present day Henry and he has the memory of a woman he loves. Avery has fallen in love with Dallas. We have demons after her soul and running amuck. Spirit guides or Angels (Lanni) in and out of the picture and Avery is well a hot mess. Lanni is supposed to help Avery live the life she is suppose to live. Help guide her on the correct path this time. I found Dallas to be a sweet guy, and his kindness won me over. If I were Dallas I am not sure I would have been into Avery. I think I would have given up but he again like I said was kind and I really liked that about him. Of course though you know we have a love triangle. I mean come on one she loves, and one well he is her soul mate. He is her Henry. Are they going to end up together? Do they choices they make change the lives of others? I found all of this to be completely interesting and again, new spin! I am not going to let you in on anything else here but trust me, it's good! Really good! Like you need to read this book and read it today good.
I really like the way Christy writes, the story flows nicely and you are drawn in. I was screaming at Avery, rooting for Dallas and crying for everyone. I was asking my Kindle why? I am pretty sure at times the characters answered me...again I read this book non-stop. Do not judge! I am invested in them now and I want to know what happens next. I am a fan and I am so glad that I was asked to read this book and I am looking forward to see what is next. Read it and love it, review it!
