Earthquake by Aprilynne Pike

Earthquake is actually book #2 in the Earthbound Trilogy.  Although I never write spoilers, if you haven't already read book #1 this review may spoil the first book.  You can CLICK HERE to read my Earthbound review.

I have been enjoying the Earthbound series, so I was excited when Earthquake was released.  Earthquake takes off right where we left off last.  Tavia has remembered partially who she is, and that she is an Earthbound.  She is seeking out her eternal partner Logan, to warn him and help him discover who he is.
We are thrown into action right from the beginning when Tavia and Logan are captured and imprisoned.  Tavia knows they want more from her than she even knows, but before she finds out they are rescued

It takes Logan a little time, but eventually he remembers.  Immediately, he falls right back in love with Tavia, after all he's been her life partner 1000's of lifetimes since the beginning of the earth.
The only problem is Tavia is not so sure.  This lifetime for her is different than all others.  Because of the plane accident and her brain injures she cannot recall all of the memories of past lives like Logan and the other Earthbound can.

When they are rescued they are brought to an underground compound owned by the Curatoria.  Tavia doesn't trust them, but finds she has no choice for the time being.
She enlists to help save earth from the deadly virus that is spreading and killing humans at an incredible rate. Additionally, they find the virus has spread to Earthbound, and when the Earthbound start to die the world is thrown into turmoil.

It becomes a race against time.  As Tavia slowly begins to remember things that no one else knows, or can know about her.  Then it becomes a race against her own safety.
As if the fate of the world isn't enough, her old love interest shows up in the Curatoria prison.  It's then she can't decide if she has feelings for Logan or Benson.  At the same time she is trying to decide if she can even trust Benson after all the past betrayal.
At a time when Tavia must trust someone, but very few around her are trustworthy, and trying to figure out who is, is a battle in itself.  The world is crumbling and people are dying, the choices she makes may effect not only herself, but the entire fate of the world.

I enjoyed Earthquake as much as I did Earthbound.  Aprilynne Pike did a great job of keeping the second book in this trilogy interesting, fast paced and full of action and intrigue.
I enjoy books with love triangles, but although I won't say my opinion yet on who I am rooting for, I will say it is not who Tavia is choosing at the end of this book.  However, that's okay, things can always change:)
If you are an Aprilynne Pike fan, you will want to read this fun fantasy series!

Book Review: Earthbound by Aprilynn Pike

I was a huge fan of Aprilynn Pike's New York Times bestselling selling Wings series, I love it.  It's still one of my favorite all time book series that I have read.  So when I saw that she had a new book series coming out, of course I picked this up quick!

Earthbound  is a modern day story of a girl named Tavia, who happens to be the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed everyone, including her parents except for her.  Luckily her aunt and uncle come to claim her and offer her a chance to come and live with them.  She quickly agree's, and almost a year passes with nothing more than getting past the trama, nightmares and lots and lots of therapy.

That is until one day she realizes she is starting to have visions of a boy she's never met or spoken to.  Little by little things start happening to her, that has her questioning everything.
When Tavia starts looking for answers, she uncovers more than she could have ever imagined.  Before she knows it, her life has been turned upside down again and her aunt and uncle are looking more and more like suspects who are responsible for the plane crash.
Feeling as though the only person she can trust is her best friend Bensen, she takes off on a mission of self discovery and at the same time follows her visions to see where they might lead her.

Earthbound is action packed and is filled with lots and lots of twists and turns.  So many that I don't even want to mention any of them because I would hate to ruin this wonderful story for anyone.  But let me just say, you will like!
I see a lot of similarities with the Wings series, even though the storylines are completely opposite.  Aprilynn is a true romantic, and I love that right from the beginning you know your going to get lots and lots of that.  I also love a great love triangle, and Earthbound definitely has plenty of that too!

This is a well written, fast paced YA that if you are like me will devour in just a couple of sittings!  If your a fan of her Wings series, you will absolutely love Earthbound!
About the only thing I didn't like is, now I have to wait until next summer to find out what happens next.
This is a YA book, however the main character is 18 and all the others are older.  I recommend this book to any age who enjoys a great read!
