About the author
E.E. Holmes
33 books1,019 followersE.E. Holmes grew up near Boston, Massachusetts, where she spent the majority of her childhood reading books. She read them almost constantly, and as a result, perfected the art of walking and reading at the same time, a skill she can still perform to this day with remarkably few instances of falling on her face. She also wrote many books and poems in blank books and on the backs of legal pads her father brought home from the office. They remain some of her finest work.
She soon learned to love literature of the dramatic persuasion, and earned a B.A. in theater from the College of the Holy Cross. After graduation, she set out to prove that her degree was, in fact, not useless, and worked as a principal actor in a summer Shakespeare festival and as a theater teacher, directing over thirty productions and numerous workshops for youth and high school students. She spent several years as the theater director at Wakefield High School where she also taught English literature and public speaking. It was in her classroom that she discovered the horrible truth: a disturbingly large percentage of high school students hate to read. This revelation devastated and bewildered her. She decided she wanted to do something about it, and thus she started work on her first young adult novel, Spirit Legacy: Book 1 of the Gateway Trilogy, which has gone on to win awards from Chanticleer Book Reviews and Media and The Independent Publisher Book Awards. She is also the author of three one act plays, one of which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
E.E. Holmes lives in central Massachusetts with her husband, two children, and small, but surprisingly loud dog. When not writing, she enjoys watching unhealthy amounts of British television, procrastinating, and rediscovering her favorite books from her childhood all over again with her kids.

Did not finish. Stopped in the first book.
I enjoyed the first series. It had an interesting plot and characters. It really stood apart from other books in this genre.
However, with this book, the author decided to focus on romance. A romance that completely lacks chemistry and anything interesting. It gets in the way of what would be a great plot. Worse, it is stuck everywhere so you cannot skip it. Every time Jess and Finn are in the same room, the plot stalls because suddenly Jess is no longer an interesting woman but a cliche who can't focus on what is important because of a guy.

Trilogy
A good read i felt that the disruption that happens in book three was imminent so its appearing to follow a formula.

A while ago since I read this - I completed the whole series. Easy read. Good build up of characters. A little predictable but nonetheless, good for a quick read.
