Collide Collide series Book 1 eBook Shelly Crane

I was really excited for this book. The first time I heard of this series, when I signed up for the tour. Wow, what a great beginning. There were some slow parts in the beginning, but it didn't take me long to get into the plot, the feel of the story, and the characters.

The genre of this story is a bit hard to define. This story has far most, romance, supernatural romance but it has a very strong feel for an apocalyptic book. It's the end of the world as they know it. The book starts off with a quick glance right before it all began. The life that of Sherry and her brother Danny, only a little snippet of what their life was like before it all went down and their relationship. They are pretty close about a year apart and they seem to take care of each other. Danny just graduated and works at a coffee house, doesn't drive, and really has no motivation to escape the parents' house. Sherry is working for a tabloid, just got out of a really horrible, controlling, abusive relationship, and lives alone. . Sherry is hoping her life will start to get better when everything gets worse. The moon disappears, there is talk about these strangers who have dark eyes and mysterious. No one really knows if they are dangerous or not. No one has really had any contact with them but everyone is afraid of them. One day Sherry sees her ex out in front of building who claims to be one of the mysterious peoples and her ex is dead. He now inhabits his body. He tells her the world is about to go nuts and she and her brother must go with him to hide until it's all over. Against her will, she goes, and so does Danny. Their life of hiding and on the run begins, with some action, new understandings, and lot of romance.

I like the story it is refreshing, new and a good mixture of two genres. Once the book gets past the explanations in the beginning and the relationships begin the story moves at a nice pace and is very intriguing, I couldn't seem to put the book down. Little by little the story becomes clear, but there always seems to be a mystery or two surrounding the events. There were many times I felt there is something more going on.

There were many colorful characters that filled the book; many people joined the crew as they were on the run. Some were jerks, some were trouble, some were harsh, and some were leaders, but they all fit into the story quite well. I had a bit of trouble getting into Sherry's character at first. She was very big on the poor me factor and seemed to whine quite a bit, but once she started to understand what they were really up against, and life was much worse than what she had before, she started to take control of the situations. I liked Danny quite a bit. Once he realized life isn't a piece of pie to sit back and enjoy, he went from boy to man, stepping up and playing a good brother type. Then there is Merrick, the mysterious being that has taken over the ex's body. He is just wonderful, kind, chivalrous, protective, a great leader, everything the love interest should be.

I had a lot of fun with this book even if the feel and premise was the end of the world. I will continue with the series and I am very excited to dive back into this world with the next one.

Collide Collide series Book 1 eBook Shelly Crane Reviews

I have been on a paranormal reading spree for the past couple of months, mostly adult/young adult vampire romance books. I happen to come across Collide on my as a book recommended for me. After reading the plot, I thought it would be nice to read a paranormal series that does not revolve around vampires!!!!

While I did not fall head over heels with the book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will not give away details of the book because well that would not be fair.

The basis of the book is simple.

Sherry is a normal average teenage girl. She has a job she hates, a crappy car that she loves, an apartment she hates, her younger brother who she adores, two hippie parents who were strange at best and a stalker ex boyfriend.

Anyway, one night the moon disappears and then strange things start happening, people are dying and coming back, but coming back different. Sherry and her brother Danny are living in her apartment because their parents decided to go and take off and worship what could possibly be an alien invasion.

Merrick, who comes back in the form of Sherry's abusive ex boyfriend, tells her that he is not Matt (the ex boyfriend), but a being from another world and he is there to protect her and Danny. It turns out Danny is a "special" and he needs to be protected, there are hundreds of specials on Earth who were always being watched by their "Keeper", which is what Merrick is.

The book picks up as they go on their journey to find more keepers and specials and hide from the evil beings who are here to take over the Earth.

I gave the book three stars because there are a lot of grammer mistakes in here and second because I kept waiting for something more to happen, I know they were in hiding, and they did have a few adventures to keep the book from being boring, I was waiting for something more.

Needless to say, I did download book 2 and I am reading it now and so far, so good.
Collide, by Shelly Crane, is an interesting, enjoyable hybrid of a novel - science fiction, romance, within a gripping escape and fight back context. It's framed by the sci-fi trappings of a race of bad aliens vs good aliens helping humans, and driven by a group of humans fighting for their lives. The meat of the book, however, is about the budding love between an 'outsider' teenager named Sherry Patterson and a 'way outsider' called Merrick.

In a nutshell, the sci-fi portion of the novel concerns Sherry's brother, Danny, who is a Special - the next phase of human evolution. A species called the Keepers watch over the other Specials on Earth, like a real-life group of Guardian Angels. Merrick is Danny's protector, and by default, Sherry as well. An evil race called the Lighters want to kill, or absorb the Specials - along with the help of Markers (hideous beasts who locate the Specials). Merrick's job is to keep Danny and Sherry safe, while joining other Specials and Keepers over the course of the novel.

The budding romance between Sherry and Merrick is what really drives the book. Instead of a 'Hello-I Like You - I love You' whirlwind love affair, this one is a slow-burning, totally realistic one that follows the cross-species couple through highs and lows, drama and serenity, until....

Collide is the first book of a series and makes its mark convincingly. The central characters are three-dimensional and realistic, the pacing veers from dramatic escapes to lulling moments between the agreeable couple, and the story as a whole is light, dark, snarky, and fulfilling.

Ms. Crane, for a reader who tends to stay away from romance and sci-fi, you've written something that not only kept my admittedly short attention span occupied, but left me with the hunger to read the next book. Not bad!! -)
