Review: Undone (Unraveling #1.5) & Sneak Peek & Preorder Info!

March 25, 2013 by Jaime Leave a Comment

Undone (Unraveling, #1.5)Undone by Elizabeth Norris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVE BEN!!

 photo swooninggifpagespeedce2j5SagPOZK_zpsadfa4c47.gif

I mean really, what else is there to say after reading this?

Honestly though, I’ll try to write you a review!

The setup for this novella is wonderful – it’s all in Ben’s point of view and you get “Before She Knew Me”, “When I Saved Her”, and “After I Left Her”.

Each section really gives you some insight on Ben’s thoughts and what is happening in his life at the time.

From the very beginning when he stalked watched and admired Janelle to the very second where Unbreakable picks up and the story resumes in Janelle’s point of view, you get to see it all.

There are a ton of things I want to quote from this novella, but I’m not going to. I’m not sharing one bit of this part of the story – you’ll just have to go start the series for yourself. I promise you won’t be disappointed and I also promise that you’ll love Ben’s sweet perspective and insight on his thoughts about Janelle, the issues with the portals and finding out what really happened after the end of Unraveling.

I can’t tell you enough, how much I’m going to miss Ben & Janelle! I have to thank the lovely Stacee for pushing me to read this series (and also for supplying me with the ARC for the final book that comes out in April!

If you haven’t started this series get going! I promise you’ll love it!

BUT obviously I lied up there, because I got permission to share a sneak peek of UNDONE with you!! 

After I Left Her
We came home at night.

For a split second my lungs burned, my skin felt like ice, and then my knees hit concrete hard. Around me everything was dark, but it didn’t matter, because all I could see was Janelle. The wind moved through her hair, her eyes wet with tears, her hands dark with blood. Her voice echoed in my head: the quiet desperation in the way she said my name before I left her there. I held onto that moment, willed my mind to burn it into my memory. I didn’t want to forget what we’d just been through. I didn’t want to forget even a second that I’d spent with her.

It all had just ended in the canyon behind Park Village. Reid was dead. Janelle’s friend Alex was dead. And Eli and I had just left Janelle and portaled home. In the end, what we’d tried so hard to do for seven years, happened in an instant.
My throat was tight. My whole body ached. I didn’t want to leave her. I shouldn’t have left her, but I had to.

I pushed to my feet and looked around. We were in the middle of a neighborhood street, surrounded by dark sleepy houses.

“Where are we?” Eli said as the wind picked up.

I waited. At first I wasn’t sure. Square patches of lawn and small single family homes were everywhere. 

Then I heard the wooden wind chimes.

My chest tightened. That sound. I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed hearing it. I turned around, recognizing the oak tree on my parents’ front lawn. It seemed somehow both bigger and smaller than I had remembered it: a tower outside my bedroom window.

“This is my house,” I said. As my eyes adjusted, I picked out the red bricks around the garage, the white front door, the blue aluminum siding, the black shutters on the windows.

“Holy shit,” Eli said. Then he laughed, reached over, and pulled me in a headlock. “This is your house!” he screamed.

A wave of excitement moved through me. This was my house. Those bricks were the ones I cracked my head against when I was seven. I had stolen Derek’s remote control car and he wrestled me to get it back. He pushed me and I fell. That front door, we had repainted it white with my dad. The oak tree was the same as the one I looked out at every night when I went to sleep, the same one I tried to climb. I had hung those wooden wind chimes after making them in school.

Nothing had changed.

I wasn’t sure how Taylor Barclay knew to send us here. Sure he was some high up Interverse Agent who was policing the universes, but I hadn’t expected him to deliver us right to my doorstep. The how and the why didn’t matter though. I didn’t care.

My parents were inside sleeping in that house right now.

I pulled away from Eli and jogged up the driveway. As I reached the front door, I paused.

“What are you waiting for,” Eli said, reaching out to knock.

I grabbed his hand. “We need to remember this moment,” I said. We’d waited for this moment forever, and now we were finally here. But not all of us. Reid wasn’t here, and no matter what he had done or how it had ended, he had been part of this. Janelle and Alex had been a part of it too. We wouldn’t have gotten here without them.

Even though it might have seemed ridiculous, we needed to pause and memorize these details. I wanted to be able to tell Janelle about all of it. She loved me enough to know I needed this moment, and I wasn’t going to lose that. Our goodbye wasn’t forever. I would find a way back to her. I knew that as much as I knew anything. We were both still alive. Just in different places.

I thought about Alex and Reid.

“Reid’s parents,” I said. I wanted to be able to tell them what this moment was like too.
Eli knew what I was thinking. “We can’t tell them what he did.”

I shook my head. We couldn’t. They deserved to remember him better than that. We could tell them this though. We could tell them that the night was silent, the darkness almost heavy as if the whole world was asleep. The only sounds were our own excited breaths.
I knocked on the door.

It wasn’t like in a movie. A light never flicked on. I didn’t know when she was coming. I had to keep knocking, and I had to knock hard, until my knuckles felt numb because of it.
Finally after what seemed like minutes I heard the locks click on the other side of the door.
A woman in a gray long-sleeved shirt and checkered blue and white pajama pants stood behind it. She was tall, her hair cut short around her head.

My mother.

Over seven years. Twenty six hundred and thirty seven days. That’s how long it had been. All of that time had added up to just one single wish: that I would get back to her, that I would see her again. I’d envisioned what she would say to me, what I would say to her.

In the end I didn’t need to say anything. She glanced at Eli and then back to me. Her mouth parted, her eyes widened, and she gasped.

I opened my mouth to explain, but she reached through the door, reaching out to my face, as if she wasn’t quite sure I was real. Then she started to cry.

I moved in, circling my arms around her, pulling her to my chest. She was smaller and thinner than I remembered. Her skin was soft and papery, and my chest contracted. Those seven years had been long for her.

When she pulled back to look at my face again, she shook her head.

I smiled. “I’m home.”

Guess what.. you can head over to Books of Wonder right now, and pre-order a signed copy of  Unbreakable now that will include swag! Just make sure you place your order before April 23rd!!

Happy #stacksaturday friends! I hope you are havin Happy #stacksaturday friends! I hope you are having a great start to the weekend!

Do you have any series books you recommend regularly? I absolutely love @rllafevers #hisfairassassin series and I was so excited when I found out a duology tied to that world was coming too! I still have to read the latest Igniting Darkness but it’s going to happen this year!
.
Of course I have the hardcovers of #HFA books but I had to get the new editions of the paperbacks too 🙈

I’m not feeling very motivated today but I also don’t want to break my workout day streak so.... lol I’m way too competitive with myself.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Sunday all! I’m sorry I’ve been MIA for Happy Sunday all! I’m sorry I’ve been MIA for the last week- it’s just been one of those weeks where I was feeling no motivation. I need to take pictures and I’m just not feeling it lately- maybe today though?

About the book:

Coralie Sardie is the daughter of the sinister impresario behind The Museum of Extraordinary Things, a Coney Island boardwalk freak show that thrills the masses. An exceptional swimmer, Coralie appears as the Mermaid in her father’s “museum,” alongside performers like the Wolfman, the Butterfly Girl, and a one-hundred-year-old turtle. One night Coralie stumbles upon a striking young man taking pictures of moonlit trees in the woods off the Hudson River. The dashing photographer is Eddie Cohen, a Russian immigrant who has run away from his father’s Lower East Side Orthodox community and his job as a tailor’s apprentice. When Eddie photographs the devastation on the streets of New York following the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, he becomes embroiled in the suspicious mystery behind a young woman’s disappearance and ignites the heart of Coralie.

Oh Thursday is always a little rough right? What w Oh Thursday is always a little rough right? What was/is your first read this year? I’ve actually gotten through 6 books already! Partially because I had started a few on the last day of the year but also because there have been some really good books I have been reading that I haven’t been able to put down!
.
You know what makes me happy... romance books and the fact that #botm has hardcovers of some of my faves and I love that they offer these romance books on a monthly basis! I have a few on my wishlist that I hope we get to see this year offered as well! Have you read any of these?

.
I’m going to tell you - I have not had any soda for about 14 years. I used to drink coke all day every day but realized how bad it was for me and made a conscious decision to give it up. So no soda for me - that said, I do drink coffee in the mornings but I really only drink water other than that.
.
Are you participating in the @penguinteen  #gracelingreadalong ? I love book 1 so so much and do hope to jump in here and here! I am going to have to get the new covers when I purchase #winterkeep they are just so gorgeous and I do hope that I will be able to get a matching version to this set!

What books are on your ‘to finish’ list?

Ugh Monday’s are rough and then throw in a Monday after having a week off and it’s even worse - I had two cups of coffee this morning but I’ll probably be asleep by 9p tonight lol!

Happy New Year’s Eve! This past year has been ro Happy New Year’s Eve! This past year has been rough huh? What’s one good thing that happened or that you accomplished in 2020?
.
I was trying to think of the good things over the last few days and I came up with:
1. I lost 75lbs by changing the way I think about food and starting to exercise regularly which...
2. Helped me get off my blood pressure medication completely as of last month.
3. I read 219 books and enjoyed just about every single one of them!
4. Working from home gave me more flexibility in my schedule (less time driving to the office) and that allowed me to focus on the items above
5. I challenged myself to some crafty projects just to try something new and I’m proud to say not all of them were failures!
6. I was able to be a part of a really important project for work that while stressful and caused many sleepless nights also challenged me and made me better at what I do.
7. I watched The Bridgertons come to life on screen... twice so far and I imagine I’ll binge it some more in the new year! Lol
.
I’ll be home hanging with my cats today/tonight - nothing big and celebratory but that’s okay - I like to be a good and responsible human.  Mask up, social distance and I hope you all have an amazing new year!
