Evolution:

Seventeen year old Jade Sommers’ life is turned upside down when a serious injury heals right before her eyes.

Jade thinks she is going insane, but her boyfriend, Aiden Scott, knows better. He knows what she is. And like him, she was born this way.

If finding out that people like her shouldn’t exist isn’t bad enough, Jade’s best friend is kidnapped by a psycho who terrorises her dreams. She and Aiden have to figure out how to save her before it’s too late.

Tormented:

Jade is only just coming to terms with her mother's murder when she discovers she is the centre of a sadistic game where the consequences will destroy the lives around her.

Someone will die.

Someone will live.

Who these will be will depend on Jade being able to figure out the cryptic messages before time runs out.

Someone will discover her secret.

Someone has been deceiving her.

And Jades life will once again be changed forever.

Wow, so appreciate receiving these books for free. Once I finished them, I was sorry that I was done and wished I had read them even sooner not to miss out. Jade and Aiden are quite special characters.

I got these for free on Amazon and boy am I glad that I finally got around to reading them both. I did not realise that the story was based on the Gold Coast, but it was great, I have been to the places that are mentioned.

The relationship between Jade and Aiden is great and gets better the more that Jade comes in to her powers.

Evolution Story start with Jade had an accident and she barely escaped death, she came home and find that every wound of her leave a scar and it disappeared from her body. She was thinking what the possible outcome of that and how she is not wounded or dead with an encounter with such an dreadful accident. Later, our Aiden inform her that they are species who probably had reached immortality and healing power, teleportation and listening to the thought without speaking. As they caught in kidnapping case of her best friend Chelsea who abductor , abducted her instead of Jade and then came to light he is the same guy who did her accident and she survived but lost her mother in cold blood murderin house by some pimps of same man to again try to caught her but see what happens in part 2 what will happen and where do the Aiden and Jade going.



This could have been a good book... it had potential but story lack the plot and development of characters was not good either. Instead developing the story line it was merely focused on 17 year olds having an hormonal changes and started exploring there sex life and the parents being ok with it without object or guiding them.


After Aiden is transferred to a high school in Australia Jade has a boyfriend and everything is good. Until the car crash. She had not survived in the accident. After her surgery she realize that there was no cut where it had to when she see herself in the mirror. Jade is straining her brain trying to figure out how her injuries from an accident and those from a minor breakdown in one of her classes were healed almost instantly, like nothing ever happened. From here plot story fallen Aiden had know She has super powers in assents never told. She has strength, healing and being immortal. Anna and Dave are not what they show in novel she is kidnapped by unknown what they are called. They kidnapped Chelsea and Jade thinking Chelsea is Jade.Everything comes crashing down on Jade in spite of having a vision about the same, Jade is incapable of doing anything about it. As a protagonist, Jade was okay. I found her to be a little whiny at times, but she was passable, not aggressive types. Her voice was simple and easy to understand. Jade's confusion and curiosity were obvious. With so much in her way, she had a lot to deal with and Aiden came for her rescue. But what had been her mom been hiding from her unknown to us. What happened to her mom? Unknown to us. One suggestion if you liked the sci-fi aspect of the divergent trilogy then only you will like this book. So read divergent trilogy before reading this...

The length of the book was just right- not too long, not too short. However, I would have loved to know more about how Aiden and his family are the way they are.
The book falls under the Paranormal and Fantasy genre though it seemed more Science Fiction to me. The kidnapping which obviously involved detectives and the police added mystery to the novel taking it more towards crime

Tormented

Jade ran away with her boyfriend and they went to Thailand, they learn more about the powers of evolution , with Ana and her boyfriend family and they came to know about how they adapt to every environment and from there they went to London and Australia, but murderer follow them every where and whosoever close to Jade is being targeted by him and they were trying to decipher the truth behind mystery who the person is and what he wanted and death of mother is not yet confirmed as she is also like one of the evolution form and kind of immortal and been unconscious and Lucas , Georgia, kai helping them and the climax reveal who is behind the murder and its Jade's father

Wasn't keen on these books. When you read the first you're thrown in the story, no character building. When her bbf gets kidnapped I didn't really care because there just wasn't enough to really care about in any of the characters. You form no emotional attachment to any of them and the main girl just whines throughout the whole thing. No one likes a whiney heroine who is meant to be kick ass.
Really struggled to finish it. Put it down a number of times and I'm pleased I didn't pay for it as I think it would've been a waste of my money. Won't be continuing with the series.

Riveting

Jade’s mother is dead. Aiden takes her away for her safety. Jade stops a manic from shooting a cafe full of people by somehow transporting them all to the beach. Now they need to leave again. This time they head to London by Anna and Dave. Then the impossible happens, Jade’s mother is still alive but in the hands of a psychopath. The race is on to save her mother and everyone she loves. Who will be targeted and who will survive. A roller coaster ride has begun.

What a good clean story with great characters. It starts out with Jade and Chelsea as best friends and Aiden is Jades boyfriend. Jade soon finds out that she is not like everyone else. That changes how she sees and thinks about things. There are lots of questions to be answered and it also takes time to get used to lots of new things that keep changing in Jades life. I hope that you enjoy this action-packed story.

Excitingly Different

The characters come to life and you know how they feel. The plot has twists & turns to keep you guessing. Now I'll have to have the rest of the set go know how it all turns out!

So good

Jade finally knows what she is capable of and has to master her abilities. I love her strength and loyalty to her friends. Her life is a mystery and because of it everyone she knows is in danger. Fast paced story and amazing surprises. Could not put it down.

Interesting story

I liked the characters and the story. I would like to read more about Jade and her friends but I am a little afraid where it all leads from the titles. I really liked the concept of the first two books. I reserve judgement on the rest.

A great what if

Puberty can be a royal pain, but when it awakens powers that are impossible in you, are you losing your mind or is it real?
This series is a page turner with twists and gasps along the way. And the ending is a headplant you don't want to miss.

Nice easy read that wasn't quite there for me. I didn't feel any connection with characters but I suppose it builds up in the remaining books.

Great immortal tale

This series was a good read. It kept me in suspense right from the start. Learning new powers along the way kept this story interesting.
