When Scarlett Blake chose life-after-death as a Cerulean,
she expected to grieve for all she left behind: her boyfriend, her best friend,
her mother, her home. But at least Cerulea, her heaven, would be… well,
heavenly. Right?
Wrong.
The world in which Scarlett awakens is very far from her idea of a utopia. Picturesque, sure, and serene. But there can be no paradise within the unforgiving walls of a prison, be they of cold, hard stone or beautifully blue water.
Now Scarlett faces her hardest decision yet: be a good, dutiful Cerulean, or be true to herself and fight for freedom.
And if she can find a way to escape, what then? Can she finally reunite with her lost sister? Can she save Sienna from the murderous Fallen? Can she evade her destiny with the Ceruleans?
Can Scarlett Blake ever reclaim her life-before-death… or must she let go of all she loves?
Wrong.

My Thoughts…
Scarlett Blake is dying.
She is leaving her best friend Cara, the love of her life Luke, all to
find her sister. It is not her choice
to die. It is her destiny. Jude is there to help guide her, lead her
to Cerulean, to her “home.” I cannot
imagine at eighteen knowing that you are dying, that you do not want die or
leave your friends and family, yet there is nothing you can do to stop it. The only positive part of her dying is
that she can go save her sister, the one who everyone thinks committed
suicide.
I read the first book, Death Wish (see review here), and
could not wait to get my hands on the second in this five book series. Forget Me Not and Wild Blue Yonder appeared
to me at the same time. I could not have
been more thrilled. I devoured them
both, unable to stop reading, unable to put my tablet down. After Death Wish, I felt invested in
Scarlett Blake. I needed her to be
happy, to be safe, and to find the truth about her sister. I loved her relationship with Luke. He was good to her, he kept her safe, he
loved her entirely. I wanted them to
be together and to be happy. I also
loved Jude. He was definitely
Scarlett’s protector. I did not know
from book one what his motive was in keeping her safe. I do know now. I should have seen it coming, I should have
seen the clue, but I didn’t. I was
surprised and now cannot wait for book four to be available.
This is a great series.
The love, the youth, and of course the paranormal are all perfect. I certainly recommend checking out this
series.
Please Megan, do not make me wait forever for the rest of
this series.
