As expected, the first book I read was Entropy by Addison Moore. I know this is the third time I have mentioned this book in a week. I'm a bit obsessed with the trilogy. There are some spoilers if you haven't read Ephemeral and Evanescent.
In Entropy, the story picks up where Evanescent left off. Laken and Coop go to Paragon, Wesley ends up in Cider Plains. Wesley finally figures out that Laken has been telling the truth the whole time -- she and Wesley have been placed at Ephemeral by the Counts. Entropy follows Laken as she struggles with the feelings she has for both Cooper and Wesley. She can't let either of them go because she needs them both to help free her family and Coop's mom from the Celestra tunnels. There is plenty of conflict and at times, it is difficult for Laken to decide who to trust.
The book is packed with action. Zombie-Spectators attack, people time travel, boys fight. It's the perfect finale to the trilogy. I thought the story flowed very well, it tied up all the ends from the previous two books. I loved that Laken made a decision about what she wanted from her life. It was wonderful! I can't wait until the next installment in Laken's (and Skyla's from the Celestra series) story comes out. While it is not in The Countenance series, it's called Celestra Forever After and I am SO EXCITED to read it this year!
Addison Moore really outdid herself with this series and I know she will keep it up in the future.

The next book I read was Meant to Be by Tiffany King. It is the first book in The Saving Angels series.
This series follows Krista Miller, a seemingly over-emotional and sensitive teenager. She dreams of a mystery guy every night. One day she meets Mark, her mystery dream guy. She learns that things are not as she thought they were. Krista experience a strange connection with Mark and with her new friend she meets at her new school. Together they try to figure out all of the secrets and mysteries that surround their lives and battle the one responsible for most of it.
I thought this series was interesting. It was about angels and protectors. I liked the writing style and the mystery of the lives of the characters. When the main characters met the "villian" in the story, I was honestly surprised. Usually I find the "revelations" part of stories to be predictable, but this one had some nice surprises.
The story flowed very well. I read the whole thing in one sitting because I couldn't stand to put it down. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Forgotten Souls.

The final book I read over the week was The White Aura by Felicia Tatum. This is the first book in The White Aura series.
This story follows Olivia who is meant to be the true love of Scott. When Scott first notices Olivia, he fell in love instantly, even though they hadn't met. Scott has to keep it that way because his family has a curse in which if they meet their true love before the true love is seventeen and half years old, the true love will die on his or her eighteenth birthday. Scott doesn't want that to happen, obviously, so he visits Olivia in her dreams.
The problem comes about when an evil sorcerer plans to use Olivia for his own purpose, which might end up killing her anyway. Scott is determined to protect Olivia no matter what. While that conflict is going on, Olivia is going through something herself as she notices that she is changing and developing abilities she never knew she had.
Because it was impossible for Scott to protect Olivia without meeting her in the end, I am interested to see where this series leads and if Scott will find a way to break the curse of his family so that Olivia can live. I am also looking forward to figuring out what Olivia is changing into and what other powers she may have.
This is a nice love story with a little butt-kicking action thrown into the mix. I really enjoyed reading it.
