A scifi/fantasy novel set in a video game world? Seriously?

Everyone in Devi Omega has a special ability. Everyone except Hero Leander, the official troublemaker of Class 1B. But his life gets even worse when he is partnered with Annie Mei Fields on a history project. Not only is she a straight-A student and the top Charisma-user of the school, but she is determined to make him do his part of the work.

As they hit the books, though, they soon discover that an evil corporation is kidnapping teens in order to cure a deadly disease. Hero thinks the two shouldn’t get involved. That is until his only friend is also taken.

Hero and Annie Mei put their lives on the line in order to save their world. But with gang attacks, drug deals, twisted corporate goons, and a teacher that won’t get off their case, these two unlikely fighters have little time to think about their next step. Can they save the world and still get a passing grade?

I hope to write a real review of Loading Life once I am allowed to read it.

November 21, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I download Loading Life a few nights ago, but before I was able to start it, my daughter (12) saw it on my kindle, and intrigued, started reading it. I haven’t seen my kindle and I’ve barely seen my daughter since. She is a big gamer and anime fan, and so, so super picky about what she reads. She’s so invested in this, she missed her bus this morning!

I heart Reut!

Still reading but I love it so far. I'm drawn in and falling for Reut. It is a tad cliche but not in a bad way. It makes me giggle. I would totally recommend this to others!

He wasn't given up on and tossed aside like so many wanted to do

October 20, 2017

Format: Paperback

The premise of a preternatural, video game-esque narrative is one that isn't always done too well. However, in Loading Life, real world and video games mesh together excellently.

Hero, the downtrodden, troublemaking main character without a special ability, is paired with Annie Mei, top student, for a project that will allow him to pass a class in school. From there his life gets weirder and more malicious, while he himself grows as a person.

Now, usually when the main character is a delinquent, or made out to be something of an uncontrollable statistic, they're inherently abusive in one way or another. In Loading Life, the author takes a different approach. Sure, Hero is a butthead, but he doesn't abuse his friends or Annie, especially. Not using her as a sounding board was a huge deal for me. Therefore, when Hero's character development came, he learned he didn't need to be scared and run away. He learned he could ask for help. He wasn't given up on and tossed aside like so many wanted to do. He was still a butthead, but it turned into friendly banter. Character development was huge in this novel for almost every character, even the minor ones, like the guys in the gang. The reader also go to know the characters well without a clogging info dump.

The writing style was well-suited as well. It was light and serious where it needed to be. Gritty in places without being over the top. As for the world building: HUDs, mana bars, health bars, and things of the Life were as well-integrated as magic would be in a fantasy setting.

All-in-all, a rounded novel. It's easy to get sucked in. While the storyline isn't necessarily original, the storytelling is refreshing and everything wraps up nice and neat at the end.

What if Real Life was a Video Game?

RC (review copy)

I loved this book.

It had the snarky characters, strong female leads, heartfelt moments where I just wanted to reach in and hug the characters, as well as moments where I wanted to kick some of them. The action scenes are fast-paced and I love the 'What if" questions this book answered.
What if life was a video game? The descriptions are interesting, especially when the entire world is technology and magic.
What if everyone had powers? Everyone had special powers, I don't believe I read a single character that repeated a skill, so no lack of imagination here.
What if you didn't? Enter Hero.

I will be watching this series for the next installment!
