Exposing ELE

Rate this book
"I honestly wish I could believe that things will end perfectly, with one big bright happy ending. But these last few days have taught me that life isn't made up of shiny moments. Life is hard; it's gritty. One day you are filled with joy and the next, you are crawling through the muddy trenches with no inkling of when you might be able to climb your way back up again." ~Willow Mosby, Exposing ELE

Can Willow expose Project ELE for what it really is?

Just when Willow Mosby thought that her life might return to normal, her parents and Tony are ruthlessly abducted, along with many other victims from the shelter. In an effort to save them, Willow has to take a stand against the darkness brought forth by the masterminds of Project ELE.

In the midst of all of the chaos, Willow is faced with some impossible choices. Is Willow strong enough to make these decisions? How can she decide between the man she first loved and the man who has sworn to protect her?

When certain events are set in motion, Willow finds herself caught in the center of an even darker, more diabolical scheme than she could have ever imagined. With her abilities rapidly growing, Willow finds herself more powerful than ever before. What she hadn't realized is that someone else has noticed her power, and they will stop at nothing to get it.

From the authors of Project ELE and Finding ELE comes Exposing ELE. The third book in an all-new apocalyptic series with a paranormal twist: The ELE Series.

Review as it appears on my blog Amy's Book World:

This book seems to center more around Willow and Tony's world than anyone else. So for those Tony fans (Me!!!) you will be happy that he gets more face time. Willow sets out to save her parents and Tony. Willow being Willow her first priority is not herself but others. She wants to bring Tony and her parents back safe. Alec doesn't understand. He has it in his mind that this is all because she has some feelings for Tony. I'm sorry but Alec is a jerk. If he really knew his girlfriend ,the way he thought he did, then he would know that she would do anything to help others. Especially those she cares about. Tsk. Tsk. Alec. He breaks up with her. Yes! There is hope for Tony. But not so fast Tony fans. When she does find Tony something has happened that has changed him. At first you think is a Reaper because his eyes turn red. Willow heals him though, only temporarily. We find out later that it is all connected to Zack because of the shot he gave him. Is he Reaper? I don't think so but we won't know yet, not until future books. :( Willow and Tony spend lots of time together trying to get the Hasting men. Tragedy strikes and Willows is left devastated. Luckily Tony is there to comfort her. They try to get revenge with the Hasting men. Willow finds out some information about Tony's condition. She is left having to make a tough decision and thus we are left with another cliffhanger.

Tony has been my favorite for Willow since he appeared on scene in Finding ELE. Willow is a strong female. She is independent, strong willed and stubborned. Someone sensitive like Alec will just leave her wondering if he was okay if there was a battle. Tony can fend for himself. So when Alec dumps Willow it is like opening a door for Tony and he takes his chance. But so far the odds are against them. :(

I found that this book is more of a turning point n the series. Willow has to take on more of a leadership role. We find out more about why Dr. Hastings wants Willow. We don't find out everything but we know more than when we started. I personally think out of everyone Willow is just special and that is why the shots reacted differently on her. So that leaves you wondering what is ELE. It think it has a lot to do with what Dr. Hastings is doing. Maybe he is trying to create a super human. Who knows. I look forward to finding out.

Well the dynamic duo of Gober and Nuckels has done it yet again. The story pulls you in and you find yourself sucked into the fictional world with the characters. You root them on, laugh with them and cry with them. Let me tell you, this book will have you crying. So grab your your tissues, you'll need them, especially for chapter 3.

Overall I loved this book and I can not wait for the next book. The only thing that I didn't like was that once again we were left with a cliffhanger. Grrrr.... But it's all good. This a definite recommend series but it should be read in order though.

This book was given to me as a pre-edit ARC (Book due to be released in the middle of December)

Exposing ELE is the third part in the dystopian style young adult series that follows Willow Mosby, a 16 year old girl having to cope with unimaginable circumstances that are developing around her at the same time as her remarkable powers are evolving.

At the end of the second book (Finding ELE) things were looking pretty dismal for Willow and everyone with her and this is where Exposing ELE picks up and then just runs off with you.

Be prepared for laughter and tears, twists and turns, as Willow tries desperately to make sense and come to terms with everything happening around her. New powers will develop and just as one crisis is dealt with another seems to be waiting just around the corner but in such a way that it never feels that is is being forced in to make up the storyline.

For me the thing I love most about this series is that even with everything going on the writers never let you lose track of the fact that at the end of the day Willow is just a teenager, yes she may have all these powers and have been thrown into an unimaginable situation but she never feels "too grown up" which I often find in these style novels.

Be warned that you will not want this book to end and whilst I was grateful for the epilogue, know that this book does not end with all the answers. You will need to (and I am sure want to) get your hands on book 4 as soon as possible .... which could be a problem as the writers haven't even started it yet!

Disclaimer: I received an unedited ARC e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third in the ELE Series, and the story just keeps getting better and better. I'm attached to the characters, engrossed in the story, and glad that I'm not in their situation!! The triangle between Willow, Alec, and Tony is just insane, and I'm not sure who I want to win. Aside from that, Zack is a complete jerk, and he just keeps getting creepier and more evil every time he's mentioned. Willow's friends are all amazing, and her little brother Sebastian is just the cutest thing, I love the way he talks. =)

This one made me laugh out loud (the Trivial Pursuit questions about Beiber and Gaga were hilarious, and when Willow called Zack a sparkly vampire, I thought I'd die laughing), cry quite a few times (you'll know them when you get there), and I definitely cursed at a few characters/scenes, especially the "To Be Continued" at the end. I NEED to know what happens!!!

The story keeps building and building, and we're nowhere near the end. I can't wait to see what Rebecca and Courtney come up with next! =)

10 stars (even though it only says 5)

***This book was given to me by the authors for an honest review***

Exposing ELE is the third book in the ELE Series, and it does not disappoint! With each book released in this series Rebecca and Courtney raise the bar, and they did it again. Of the three books that are out in this series (two are in the works - yay!), this one is hands down my favorite! I cannot even begin to describe what happens in this book for fear of giving too much away. Let me just say that these ladies are extremely talented at what they do. Rebecca and Courtney are so amazing at descriptive writing that you feel as though these are your friends and your family, and you will do whatever it takes to keep them safe and calm their fears. You ache for them when their hearts are broken - and break they do, numerous times.

Keep your Kleenex handy, and remember that even if you yell at them they still cannot hear you! So I leave you with one spoiler and one spoiler only: The end of this book leaves you hanging on a bigger cliff than Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.

My previous review of the first book yielded a lower rating. The second book was even better and I am happy to say that the third book was an improvement from the first two. The story was clean and consistent. There were much fewer spelling and grammatical errors, and the story line and character development were both strong and well written. There were still a few typos and several vocabulary issues (misuse of a word), but less than ten. It was another drastic improvement. This series has captivated me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was wonderful and after reading the first book, I bought the 2nd and 3rd book and read them both in just a few days. I cannot wait for the next installment. I wish that I did not have to wait.

When Willow thinks things may be getting better for her. Her parents, Tony and many more are abducted. It is up to her to rescue them. What Willow doesn't know is someone is setting a trap for her. She will have to make some decisions that are destined to break her heart. Will now must step up and help take down the ones who create all her powers. Powers that seem to be growing more all the time. Besides all that she has to deal with falling for two guys. Her first love and her protector.

Willow is one of my favorite female leads in a book. She is strong even more so in this book. She is faced with hard decisions and does her best to work through them. She is young so she is still confused about a few things and she does make a few mistakes but that make her more real. Alec is as sweet as ever and would make anyone a good boyfriend. Tony only wants to help Willow and protect her but still lets her make her own decisions. Willow's mom and Dad are simply wonderful you get to see how far they will go to protect Willow. Now the character that will still your heart is Sebastian Willow's brother. I just want to cuddle with this little boy.

I should have learned with the first two books in this series not to start this book at night before I go to sleep. No not me I picked it up and said I will read a little of it tonight and go to sleep. Nope that didn't happen. As soon as I started reading it didn't get put down till I had no pages left. I love this book and series. You get dragged into the world and you forget the world around you. Willow really has an emotional struggle in this book but you can see it making her stronger than ever. The book stay at a wonderful pace all the way till the end. It is hard to review this series and book without spoilers. I want to tell everyone so much about this series. Some new powers are found in this book and it does make me wonder how many more new ones they can come up with. I look forward to seeing more of what the new discovered ones can do. In short to wrap this up so I don't give anything away read this book!! Read this series. It is one of the best I have read this year. It a dystopian series with some paranormal twist. You will love some characters and hate some as well. Even if it doesn't sound like something you normally like I would still try this one out. You may be surprised. I can not wait to see what happens next.

This is the third instalment of the ELE series, if you haven't read the first two (Project ELE and Finding ELE)yet then what are you waiting for? Seriously! Go pick them up and read them. You will not be disappointed.

I cant believe I literally stumbled upon this series with absolutely no knowledge of what they were about. From the very first book this series has hooked me in and kept me on the edge of my seat. And has found its way onto my (rather short) list of favourite book series.

This book starts off right where Finding ELE ends outside the mountain trying to protect people from Zack and his father. During the conflict Willow's parents and Tony are captured, presumed dead. Willow feels guilty and runs off to try and save them... with disastrous results.

Once again this book ends on a cliffhanger. And that's something I'm getting used to with this series (doesn't mean I have to like it) but hopefully it wont be too long before the next instalment in the series is out.

*I was given a copy by the author in exchange for an honest review*

Exposing Ele is the 3rd book in the amazing Y/A series following 16 year old Willow's unimaginable life as her powers evolve. We pick up where we left off with life looking pretty bad for Willow and Tony.

I was given the copy so far so i don't want to give anything away but WOW, Rebecca and Courtney has done it again. They have filled this book with so much action, love, betrayal, suspence and more characters to die for!! Be prepared for laughter and tears. It is a must-read so all of you Willow lovers - get your calenders out because it is coming out in a week or so! I can't wait to see what changes they have made to make it even better.
This is the first ever book to have made me cry!! I felt so sorry for Willow for all that she went through but i am not going to say any more else I will give it away :)
Happy reading everyone!!! x

I loved this book from beginning to end. Willow is back with her friends fighting old foes!! It's the end of civilisation as we how it. Humanity has been nearly wiped out & the survivors have been unknownly experimented on, giving them new powers. Willow happens to absorb every power she comes into contact with, making her a very powerful young women & the badies want her! This book is packed full of action & there is also sweet romance. You will laugh, scream at your kindle & cry during this roller coaster ride of a book. Cliff-hanger ending as usual, but it just makes you sooooo hungry for the next book!!

I love these books!!! This one literally brought tears to my eyes. I love the way Willow develops her powers and that you don't know what is going to happen in the book. I find myself wishing I came upon the series when it was finished because waiting to find out what happens kills me. Great job!

I was also given an early copy of this book to review..SPOILERS AHEAD....I love the concept of this book, the powers and the adventure... However I LOVE anything romance so this book made me a little sad. I really like Tony, don't get me wrong, but how can you profess to "love" someone and then just give him up for another guy? So I feel bad for Alec. I hope Courtney and Rebecca give him a fantastic girl and he isn't so heart broken. As far as the rest of the story, it was great!! I love that Willow is so amazing and able to protect the ones she loves. I also love how fast these ladies are getting the books out for us. Great job keep up the good work!!

Once I finish one I have to immediately start the next I have to know what happens. Exposing ELE is the third part in the dystopian style young adult series that follows Willow Mosby, a 16-year-old girl having to cope with unimaginable circumstances that are developing around her at the same time as her remarkable powers are evolving. I like Alec and Tony I really don’t know who I want her to be with more they are both great guys. This book almost feels real.

I'm really disappointed in this book because I wanted to like it so much but I just didn't. I felt like everyone spoke in clichés the whole time. I really liked the first two but this one let me down.

Before you read this book, you need to read the series in order: Project ELE (ELE Series #1) (The ELE Series), followed by Finding ELE (ELE Series #2).

This is a continuation of neat, fast-read sci-fi tale that is not only good for adults but is primarily aimed at the young adult / older children market. Without having a spoiler, rather than aliens you have a continuation of an apocalyptic-type scenario with a disease, followed up by a group of kids who get into mischief with far-reaching implications and the kids are the ones who are leading the adults. The authors continue do a good job of getting you quickly into the story and feeling the emotions of the characters.

As an adult, I did find some slow parts with the teenage blossoming young love that seemed to drag - however, realizing I am not the primary audience that's more of a personal comment than a detriment to the book.

Parents can recommend this for their kids' Kindles as well as their own - no profanity, sex, or drugs, just a good story and tale. It's unusual to find a book you can enjoy with your kids and both be entertained.

Hang in there. Despite the massive amounts of missing punctuation in the first novel, each novel after it improves in punctuation. That being said, the original premise and story idea is a lot of fun. I loved the characters and the evolving storyline. Some parts of the writing is jumpy and doesn’t exactly explain things fully, or sometimes things are too coincidental, but the end of each novel was riveting and left me wanting to continue reading the next. There are plenty of happy moments interspersed with tense ones. One final complaint. In the third book, the gift of telepathy develops, but the author does not use italics. It’s pretty difficult to tell when Willow is talking in her head to her friend or talking out loud. Why there are no italics is a mystery to me. Still loved the whole overall story.

This book was disappointing in character development of the protagonist Willow and her unfaithfulness by book 3 when she broke up with Alec without real good reason suddenly. In book 2 she loved Alec and in book 3 we are hit with a whammy that she now loves Tony.
Poor Alec.

I returned the book to Amazon after only reading 2 chapters.

I can't find one thing I like about this 3rd book other than the angst between Zack and Willow.

I can't stop reading!

I am so hooked on the series that I have now completed the first 3 in 48 hours, even with my full time work schedule during the day. I'm exhausted from staying up all night reading last night, so I'm forcing myself to go to sleep without immediately starting the 4th book. I cannot wait to start the next book tomorrow!

This was a free book from Bookbub. I've enjoyed this series, but have been annoyed by the poor editing. Grammatical errors and the wrong word, sometimes so wrong it's the opposite of what the writer meant! Nevertheless a fun series.
