Acquire Today Gifted Connections Book 1 (Gifted Connections, #1) Penned By S.M. Olivier Issued As Ebook

Crap. That ending. Ugh!!! Cue anxietyyy for who knowsss how long in the next book!!
You know those "foreshadows" on the easy reads that are extremely obvious the moment you read them Those that the characters fear could happen and everybody ignoress or hopes won't happen and happen! The moment I read it was like no pleeeease no that :!!! And taaaa daaaaa of coursee!!!!

My critics on this book:

I like the way this author writes I read peyton's path too but im thissss particular book it was just frustrating.
. .

spoilers ahead!!

guys, . . I m starting to see a pattern here jaja is sanctuary also withguys And also with guys that are teachers and called "mr.
" By the heroine at first Not a fan of that tbh but at least in peyton's path they were all mostly on the same place! And only focusing on the heroine! In this one I often forgot about troys and jaces existance until they made an appereace again.
. . !

It's hard for me to jugle all the guys in my head if they are simply not thereee! But I mean not even the ones living with her its like so weird because she even spends more time with the band and the guys dont mind And they keep their gfs around

This was entertaing and annoying let me tell you.
. .

Also I see what other reviewers mean about the pace, It's like slowly nothing but tragedy happens at the beginning and all of a sudden boom boom boom!
Is like a vomit of information and don't get me wrong! With RH right now I actually like the fast pacing because other than the theme xmen in this cade nothing can surprise me anymore! Not the personalities of each guy or the heroine, not their tragic pasts, not the overthetop mean girls or covetful guys, not the foreshadows, not the point were climax comes! Especially not the sex you name it, I've read it!.
So since nothing will suprise me I rather we get to the point instead of wandering around it! I rather is a fast burn and ghe guys are already with the heroine becausee I alreadyy knoooow all the ways it will get there!

But still.
. . the pace in this one was likee slow, fast, slooooow, zoooooooommmmmmm !!! Oh, Im pissed right now! WHY! I mean, I knew it was going to happen, but I still wanted to throw the holy grail my iPad across the room!
And I really want to kick Noahs ass! And I know hes gonna make me hate him in the next book because of what the precognition was!
And dont get me started on Molly.
We havent even met her and I already hate her!
Youre killing me, Mrs, Oliver I hope by the end of thend book I wont be sending you hate mail, because I really do love you.
Peytons Path is one of my favorite RH series and Im waiting impatiently for the next book, So this series is supposed to fill the hole in my heart from missing it, But right now its tearing me apart!!
Okay, off to bookand Im so nervous Interesting Start to a NA Paranormal Reverse Harem Series

I enjoyed this book despite some minor editing problems.
I decided to read the series after enjoying Peytons Path by the same author, This is an earlier series and it does show, Its not quite as nuanced as the later book, though there are some similar themes, such as neglected daughter who is talented and meets a group of young men who happen to be wealthy.


This book is about Blake, who was being raised by her stepmother after the murder of her fatheryears earlier.
She tolerated her stepmothers abuses because of her younger sister who her stepmother basically ignored and left to Blake to look after almost from her birth.


Blake is gifted musically and intelligent, but doesnt plan to go to college, simply graduate, get a job and get custody of her younger sister.
Not only is she

gifted musically, but she is gifted in other ways,

After years of struggle things come to a head and she reaches out to her music teacher for help and finds herself in a completely different world, of wealth, security and exception gifts.


The book has an interesting plot and the characters are intriguing, There are lots of secrets still be told and there are lots of hiccups along the road to Blake and her sister being happy.


I will definitely be reading the rest of the series, because I enjoyed this book, Very Good

Such a unique story that is captivating and addicting, I enjoyed getting to know Blake and all of the other characters, I'm upset on how it ended, but excited to see what is next, I definitely highly recommend this story, Soooo good! Keeps you in your toes, Its like Xmen RH style, Love it! I really liked this book and her dynamic with the guys, This one feels pretty realistic given the circumstances, She comes into a premade group of guys, Most of whom are "adults" the youngest is a high school senior like the MC They all have experience with women.
Our main character doesn't, but it makes sense with her past, The boys have lived a charmed life, some for their whole lives, others for the past few years,

I know some readers don't like the MC or her harem ever "cheating", usually meaning have a relationship with anyone else.
I don't think that arrangement works in every situation, I very much so empathized with the main character and how she reacted to meeting the guys and learning they were "destined" but still having current girlfriends.
I think her reaction is much like mine would have been, including her growing jealousy, But it is a dynamic some dislike, So keep that in mind,

The main character, Blake has had a rough childhood once her father died, Her stepmother is not the best sort, There's some potentially triggering interactions between the MC and her mom's boyfriends, Some of the boys had similarly rough upbringings before they're found by Will/Pops,

They had "gifts" or special abilities, Aboutof the population has these gifts, The average human doesn't know, Most often the gift doesn't manifest until puberty, The gifts vary in type and strength, Some gifted have "connections". If they bond with these connections, there powers/strength of their gift should increase,

Blake also meets and makes a few girlfriends, This was a nice change of pace from many of the RH books I've read, Some are almost insular in the way they talk about the main character and her other relationships, This one has a couple of girlfriends of the NONromantic variety, It helps with the character learning about herself and this new life/world she's learning about,

It does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, Can't wait to see what happens next and how things progress with Ella, Alex, and Micah, And if they find the other one, . . Great story plot.
Ends with a cliffhanger,

Blake hasn't had an easy life,
Learning to take care of her younger sister, when she was just a kid herself,
Dealing with the life her stepmom lives, her perverted boyfriends, and school, knowing there is something different about her is just the icing on the cake.

Finding out you're connected to six hot dudes A mind explosion,

I enjoyed this story immensely,
It had a lot of twists and turns within the plot,
A trigger warning is also needed for this book, Nothing actually happens, but several things almost happen and abuse is prevalent,
The characters are described well and have great chemistry between them,
This is a slow burn romance,

One major negative and why I gave thisinstead ofis editing,
It isn't enough to turn you away, but it is enough to frustrate you,
Not only spelling in some cases, but mostly grammatical,

I still recommend this book,
I think it is a great read and very interesting,
I can't wait to see what happens next in the series, Im having strange feelings about this book, While I didnt love it, I also didnt hate it, The story couldve flowed better, but its really sitting with me Could be the dang cliffhanger!

So, while I enjoyed Blakes character, I do think she fell into this new world way too easily.
It was slowly building up to something for like the first, and then she has a dream and then thats when things unravel quickly after.


I have really no idea how any of the guys are supposed to look, I feel like if it was mentioned, it was super brief, I went into this actually kind of excited about the OW drama, I was in the mood for angst, but I kind of hated how it was handled.


First, Blake is super understanding, and despite it all, I liked this about her, I liked that she wasnt instantly jealous and her insecurities that played a role seemed genuine and natural, I even liked that she had hesitations to pursue anything with Noah, since he wouldnt dump his freaking girlfriend because she was “an easy lay” and “Blakes not ready for his needs yet.
” I thought that was handled super badly, I wouldnt want a connection with him either at that point,

Blake clearly doesnt understand how their world works, and that the nucleus is the center of everyone, and one of the guys even mentions during the end that he hasnt felt anything toward anyone but her since they met.
So i dont get how Noah continued to be with another girl, IN HER PRESENCE, who was also rude as hell to her.
Im all for OW drama when the guy isnt the one pursuing her, but Noah stays with her!! And with other girls!! And then toward the end he starts becoming a drunk Could it be because hes not getting any attention from Blake Because you know, SERVES YOU RIGHT.


Jax had a girlfriend to pass the time with, which I can begrudgingly understand, and he dumped her as soon as he met Blake in person.
What I cant really get behind is all these guys having serious relationships and falling in love knowing they had a nucleus out there.
Even if it has been years, Jax and Jace were apparently out there searching for her, and had met her when she was little.
So

Jace especially, he knew her for a year before he bothered to say anything about her gifts, seeing how she came to school with bruises and such.
Why did he wait so long to say anything I just cant get completely behind the idea that these guys were in love with different girls, I personally just prefer it to have been lust if it needed to be, but thats not the case.
Blake forgave him way too easily at the end after he had kept the truth of where he was going from her.
He barely apologizes and she loses her virginity to him lol,

I will read bookbecause the cliffhanger did get me, I usually hate that trope, especially since we spent this whole book slowly building relationships and connections, and now Were going to have to do it all over again And Im probably going to have to see them all with their girlfriends again arent I.
