ARC Review: Air

Air [The Akasha Series #2]
By Terra Harmony
Author website

Series order:
Water #1 – see my review
Air #2 see teaser

From Terra:
She carries more than just elemental powers. In ‘Air’, the sequel to ‘Water’ of the Akasha Series, Kaitlyn has a secret. One she won’t be able to hide much longer.  As the strongest Gaia the planet has ever seen, she must face mankind’s greatest enemy as he campaigns for ‘One Less: Depopulation’. Everything depends on Kaitlyn fully embracing her role as Gaia. Her family. The Seven. The Earth. Something has to give, and it won’t be Kaitlyn.

Alexia’s Review:
Terra Harmony did it again – completely knocked my socks off. Air is the second installment in The Akasha Series and it is action packed to the core.

Kaitlyn dominates in this novel; she really goes all out and pushes herself to the limit. Kaitlyn went through really tough times in the first novel, Water, and I thought that you’d see the ‘scars’ left behind in this novel – but no, she owns it. She is friggin’ kick ass!! I absolutely love her. She is strong willed and super skilled. I admire how she has progressed as an individual.

Micah and Shawn – oh boy, where do I even start? There is a huge feud between the two of them over Kaitlyn. It’s a typical ‘three’s a crowd’ situation. Kaitlyn has so many big choices to make that affect not just her but Shawn and Micah.

I really thought I had the plot figured out but BAM there’s a twist. I fell in love with a character that I despised in the first novel. I couldn’t make up my mind with who the good guys and the bad guys are. It’s 50/50.
 
At some parts I found it a bit slow, but that being said, I still enjoyed every minute of reading. I could not put this book down – I read it within a few hours of receiving it. The ending – holy moly, another major ‘sit on the edge of your seat’ cliffhanger! What an epic ending! I’m REALLY looking forward to reading the next installment – can’t friggin’ wait!
Superb cocktail creation

  1. I totally agree Alexia. Loved the progress which Kaitlyn makes in the book, but I found it a bit slow overall. With this ending, I can't wait to get to the next book!

    I really liked the first book, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for another Cliffhanger-book-end. :/
