Inevitable (The Inevitable Trilogy #1) [Kindle Edition]

Jason Letts (Author), Amanda Hocking (Editor)

Book Description

Every choice is played out in a world unto itself, and so the only Nathan who needs to be saved is the only one who can’t be.

A supernatural spirit holds all of these worlds together, bending fate from her place outside of time. When eighteen-year-old Nathan Wheeler sacrifices himself to provide for his orphaned sister, this entrancing spirit goes back to when the death of his mother forced him to quit college and attempts to make his life better before his inevitable death.

But for all she knows about the future, assuming human form is not as easy as she thought it would be, and getting close to Nathan comes with consequences she could never expect.

Inevitable is about 61,000 words long. All three books in the trilogy are now available on Amazon!

Also from Jason Letts, look for Overflow, a new paranormal romance novel, and Suspense, the first book in a YA Dystopian Trilogy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect start to this paranormal love story. February 15, 2011

By TotalBookaholic

Format:Kindle Edition

I really enjoyed Inevitable. It is the first of a brand new trilogy from Jason Letts and I know this is a promising start. This story is from the perspective of a spirit; a woman stuck watching 18 year-old Nathan Wheeler as he dies. She realizes how selfless Nathan was in his actions and she feels he deserves a reward for his sacrifice. Nathan has had his own share of heartbreak over the last year of his life and, if anything, the spirit wishes to let him have a "do-over"; a chance to live the last year of his life over.

Nathan's mother had passed away and he was now responsible for his younger sister, Cammie. This meant he had to give up his college dream, move back home, and get a stable job. He begins working at a cement factory but that income just wasn't enough. His death seemed like an easy choice because he knew that the life insurance would more than pay for Cammie's future; so he decides that when catastrophe strikes the factory, he would sacrifice his life to save the others in the building.

The spirit sees this and turns back time. She takes human form to try to help give Nathan a better final year of life. She tells him her name is Apoxy and she fills his life with mystery and adventure. They have some great times together but she doesn't realize that when she disappears, it hurts Nathan. She doesn't fully understand what makes him the happiest; which seems to be simply spending time with her. Apoxy's efforts become stronger as she tries to help him get extra money for the family, but soon she realizes she may have fallen in love with the human boy who is destined to die.

This is a wonderful paranormal romance. Nathan was a heartbreaking character who's compassion and love sparked off the page. It's easy to sympathize with Nathan's situation and see what a great big brother he was to Cammie. Cammie is fiercely strong-willed, intelligent, and protective of her brother. She was the perfect little sister needed for this story. Her personality kept Nathan in check.

Apoxy was fascinating. It was a unique take on the supernatural and the idea that this spirit had such power over the universe presented many questions for the reader. Overall, she realized watching humans, and posing as one, were two completely different things and that maybe humans weren't so easy to figure out.

In the end, Apoxy must decide if she can let Nathan go and let destiny take it's course. This story has a lot of action, drama, and suspense. I was on the edge of my seat during the end of the book. I was thrilled to see that Jason made sure these characters developed a relationship at a gradual pace that showed their true feelings for each other. It was not an easy road for them but it made them stronger characters.

Inevitable is the perfect beginning to this supernatural love story. The ending was a shock and I'm sure the next installment of this series will be just as action-packed and astounding as this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so great March 21, 2011

This book was so shallow. The writing was very abstract, too simplistic. I forced myself to read it since I bought it, and found myself skipping, picking out key words so as not to bother with the boring descriptions that went on and on.
It was a nice try, but just didn't do it for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Eh, waste of time April 12, 2011

By Binary Code

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I picked up this book because I'm a huge fan of the editor, Amanda Hocking. After the first chapter I was so bored I put the book down and started reading something else entirely. It was several weeks before I convinced myself to pick this up again. Chapter 2 just as boring. And so on...
With all of the fast paced, engrossing, can't- put- them -down YA fantasy novels available out there right now, I can't justify wasting the time to read this very slow story. The plot has potential but fails to grasp and hold attention enough to look forward to what happens to the characters. If you can't get into the characters, then what's the point?

More About the Author

Sometimes I think writing makes me crazy, but then again I'd probably be even more crazy without it. There are a lot of things I do to balance out though: traveling, distance running, hiking, reading, orange juice, tennis, food fights, walking out of movie theaters telling the people in line that Harry Potter dies, cooking ethnic food, and competitive napping.

I write young-adult fiction, and I'm very happy to be able to spend all my time doing what I love!
