About the BookElijah Goldsmith has nightmares he needs to ignore. Why would a rich kid from Manhattan dream three straight nights about a dragon and the destruction of St. Peter’s Basilica? He’s never even been to Rome.
It’s bad timing, too. He’s graduating soon and applying to be a spy in the International Security Agency. That’s where he meets Naomi. She’s the kind of girl who makes boys like Elijah want to share their secrets. Were they brought together to learn what his secrets mean? There’s more to their sparks than they think.
This is 2066, the year the world ends.
My Thoughts:
“ Each one was like a door with a dream behind it. I did not want to walk through any more doors
like that.” (p. 285)
If I were Elijah Goldsmith, I think I’d pray to stay awake
the rest of my life! This guy has a
really active dream life! But I’m ahead
of myself. Unbound is a futuristic blend of real life, prophecy, and spiritual
warfare that is complex and very entertaining!
Definitely action-packed, but built around very likable, believable
characters.
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I followed every plot twist
exactly. This particular genre is not my
forte by any means. But I was utterly
fascinated. The characters were younger
than I expected, but their actions and reactions to all that happened to them
seemed much more mature. There is also a
lot of secrecy and duplicity that I was unable to unravel.
It’s a good thing this is the first in a trilogy! I have two more books to figure out who
belongs to which side of the conflict!
This is a book that grabs you and doesn’t let go! Be warned!
You may lose sleep.
