I highly recommend this book to anyone who read Altered. She has proven herself as the type of writer who can evoke tremendous emotional (and physical!) reactions to her work, and those are the writers I want to read. I, for one, will be reading anything Jenn Rush publishes going forward. That, in my opinion, is the mark of a truly great book and a truly great author. I spent the entire reading gasping out loud, yelling at the characters, cursing decisions that were being made, creating working theories about who I thought was to blame for the current predicament, and being overwhelmed with affection for the characters as they found their way through it all. Nick, especially, develops such a wonderful depth of character, that he has quickly become my favorite of the boys. It fills them out, and fills the holes that I'm sure many of us were desperately wanting filled after the first book. The best part, to me, was that in Erased, we learn more about the Altered characters' backstories. And instead of a story for a story's sake, it truly feels like you never stopped reading Altered, and moves forward into such a natural progression for the characters. But somehow, she pulled it off.Įrased picks up where Altered left off. I wasn't sure how she would manage to continue this story without it feeling artificial or forced, extended simply for the sake of having a second book. I had the same knot of tension riding my chest through this sequel.
Jenn Rush has this innate talent for writing suspense. I received my ARC yesterday and read it in one sitting because I could not physically put it down. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait that long to read Erased. When I finished, I was distraught to find that the sequel would not be released for another year! It sucked me in and created a knot of anxiety that rode in my chest throughout the entire reading. It was not, in any sense of the word, cheesy. I had been hesitant at first to read it, because the description of the story, in my mind, made it seem like it could either be really good or really cheesy. It did not disappoint!įirst, let me start off by saying that I loved Altered. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Erased, the hotly anticipated sequel to Altered.
