Forever is worth the fight.

Maryah erased all memory of her past lives, but she couldn’t erase her soul mate Nathan, or his undying love. Now, Maryah and Nathan have a second chance at a future together, but first Maryah must remember the person she used to be and embrace her supernatural gifts—more than one kindrily member’s life depends on it.

Maryah’s power is Harmony’s best hope of finding her kidnapped soul mate, Gregory. But Harmony isn’t big on asking anyone for help, and she’s tired of waiting, so she’s taking matters into her own hands. Heaven help anyone who stands in her way.

My Review:

This is a phenomenally well written novel that draws you in right from the get go. Hooper is a master storyteller who combines subtlety with intricate descriptions to captivate her audience with a story that takes the supernatural to a whole new level. There are also some hilariously, awesomely ridiculous moment pop up that make you laugh out loud.

Taking Back Forever is a much more personal novel the first book in the series. You get right inside the lives of the characters. As a reader, you’re no longer a bystander. Hooper continues to develop the characters that we met in the first novel. You get to know more about them individually and their relationships with one another. She also gives us deeper insight into their powers and what they can do.

This novel is the perfect escape from reality. It is a love story (and just plain awesomely unique story) that will stand the test of time right alongside many of the classics.
