Transcend Time Saga #3 Timeless

This is one book I genuinely liked. Presenting Transcend Time Saga #3 Timeless by Michelle Madow.

Here is the summary of the book:

IT'S A RACE AGAINST TIME. In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate so they could be together. In Vengeance, Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly path. Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make things worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help. Because to make things right, they must go back to when it all began …

Not a big fan of re-incarnations or insta-love but I liked Remembrance and Vengeance. They were both okay-ish books. While I definitely loved their setting and the prose like writing.....there was always something missing always. The charm of re-incarnated love of lives past was sadly not there. But moving on this (i think) is the final book of the series and I thought it was quite good, still room for some improvement there too.

So, this follows just after Vengeance, now we see what Chelsea wrought upon them all with her curse. Everything as it should be - now that totally spells trouble. When Drew and Lizzie realize the real culprit behind those freak accident - crows colliding with wind shields, winding down fire places when it is burning. Its a race against time to correct the mistakes made in the heat of the moment.

The characters as usual were just there, somehow I still don't feel connected to them at all. But I definitely think Chelsea was an improvement, she wants to rectify what she did in the second book. Then there are those freak accidents, the author should have gone deeper or made them a tad more life threatening then there is the memory guide, there are so many points in this book that needs a polish. But the great thing about this series was the way Ms. Madow cultivated the idea of Taylor Swift's song and made it so much more. Good attempt though.

Transcend Time Saga #1.5 Vengeance

Vengeance is definitely sweet isn't it?......Presenting Transcend Time Saga #2 Vengeance by Michelle Madow.

Here is the summary of the book:

How far would you go to get revenge? When Chelsea Givens discovered that her ex-boyfriend Drew dumped her to be with her former best friend Lizzie, she'd never felt so betrayed in her life. Then her new friend Shannon tells her she can help set things right. Chelsea's willing to listen, but what Shannon wants her to believe -- that she shared a past life with Drew -- is impossible. And what she wants her to do to get him back … well, it's downright crazy. Could Shannon be telling the truth? And if she is, what lengths will Chelsea go if it means making Lizzie pay? Find out in Vengeance, the second part of the Transcend Time Saga. *Vengeance is the short story that bridges the events in Remembrance and the final novel in the Saga.

Rage, Hatred and Vengeance are definitely ugly affairs. They start out as the desired and the sweetest forms of justice and retribution.....but unbeknownst to them all it takes a deeper hold of the heart and soul and even a simple act of making somebody pay for their wrongs is not enough to sate the desired party.

Drew dumped Chelsea in Remembrance for Lizzie, finally doing something right. Now, Chelsea comes to know from Shannon that Lizzie is the reason Drew broke up with her.....well there goes and done it. Chelsea wants revenge from Lizzie for stealing her boyfriend and if possible will go to the enemy's lair to get what she wants......a straight descent into hell.

The one thing that was going through my mind through it...NO CHELSEA HAS GONE AROUND THE U-BEND...Vengeance like the first book felt more of a teenager whining for a toy he/she couldn't get and throwing a huge tantrum over it. Chelsea really sounded pathetic in here.....okay Lizzie and Drew really should have come clean from the start about their feelings for each other. Vengeance really spreads a new light on Chelsea's character....at the end of the day she is just another teenager insecure teenager.

Transcend Time Saga #1 Remembrance

A reincarnation story based on Taylor Swift's music video of 'Love Story'.....worth a try. Presenting Transcend Time Saga #1 Remembrance by Michelle Madow.

Here is the summary of the book:

Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet. Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind? Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

 I'm not really a big fan of reincarnation stories and as far as what I had heard that this was inspired from Taylor Swift's Love Story video but this turns out to be so much more....lets see how... 

This is the story of Lizzie Davenport who is starting her new school with the same expectations that any teenager has. But things start to deteriorate with the arrival of the new student Drew Carmichael. Lizzie already has a long time boyfriend, Jeremy who I would aptly say is a typical high school jock who cares more about their status quo and football....not an ideal boyfriend. But Drew, who seems to be less than friendly at first, comes in with a gust of wind and sweeps her away....with him around Lizzie seems to be having these strange visions of her and Drew in Regency era English garb. But trouble is not far....when Lizzie's best friend Chelsea sets her eyes on Drew......it is upto Lizzie now to make the right choices without hurting anybody.

Like everything this too has its own pros and cons....this also does. The concept of the story is definitely a plus, then the co-relation of all the events of the past and present incarnations of Lizzie and Drew is most believable. Another plus was the instant all encompassing attraction between them both. But the one thing that was a major turn-off was the whiny tone of the story. Everyone is whinning about each other behind their backs. And the major thing.....while Ms. Madow put up a great prose in here it somehow didn't really captivate me as much as I was hoping it to.
