Travis Bagwell has done it again. Another amazing book from the Awaken Online series that kept me interested the whole way. It was a nice breather from the adventures of the main character, Jason, and followed the adventures of Riley, one of his friends. I can't wait to see how her story comes together with his.

Another great book from the Awaken Online series. It kept me interested through the whole thing with twists and turns in each chapter. I cannot wait to continue reading the series.

Absolutely amazing. Evelyn Avery did it again. I did not want to put this book down. This Prequel explains the series so well. I did not want it to end.

Absolutely amazing. I'm not a big gamer so I was unsure how interested I would be in the story but I couldn't put it down. There were a few grammatical errors but most of the ones I noticed was when a character was either speaking or thinking so I just took it as the way the character talked. The details in the story allowed me to paint a picture of what was happening and I was able to understand all of the gaming talk. I can't wait to read the next book in the Awaken Online series.

Absolutely amazing. I had to force myself to put this book down and I couldn't wait to pick it back up again. Such a great mix of mystery, action, and romance. It far exceeded my expectations for a book that the author was unsure if it was going to he released. It had a couple of parts that somewhat reminded me of Harry Potter (which I love) but she put her own little twist on them that made me love the story so much more. I can't want to read the second book.

It was a cute story but it had a lot of dialogue and not very many descriptions. I'm a very visual reader when I'm reading and the lack of descriptions made it hard for me to visualize the story and the characters but the descriptions that it did have were very good. Also, the main character seemed a little too stuck up for my taste and seemed to only care for her own gain, although she did admit when she wasn't being a good friend. It had some very cute moments though and those cute moments made it so I continued reading. It would have been a whole lot better with more descriptions and less dialogue.

The book is exceptionally written. The only reason why it isn't a 5 star is because there are a lot of events that occur as well as each event being highly detailed. It made it to where I could only read a journal entry or two at a time or I found I would forget and/or confuse events. I think it would have been better if it was broken up into 2 or 3 books instead of 1. There were a few "what the ..." moments but that is due to the different customs and the different times than what many of us are accustomed to. Those moments didn't take anything from the quality of the book.

S.T. Abby has done it once again with "All the Lies". This book takes you further into the personal feelings of the characters and makes you feel right along with them. I can't wait to see how this series ends.

Wow. I didn't want the series to end. S.T. Abby kept me fully interested through all of it. The series is a perfect mix of romance and mystery. If you haven't read it yet, you're definitely missing out.

S.T. Abby continues to amaze me. The books pull me in more and more as the story unfolds. I can't wait to see what the rest of the series brings.
