Review: Unbeautiful - Jessica Sorenson

Review: Unbeautiful - Book #1 Unbeautiful Series - Jessica Sorensen - December 2013

The best thing about getting into a book slump, is the chance to go back and finally read those books from authors that you loved and have had sitting on your devices for a while. One of my early New Adult authors was Jessica Sorensen, I loved all her books as they are so easy to read and hit that exact spot of edginess. In Unbeautiful, we first meet Emery who lives in a strange town filled with rules and they take pills etc. It seemed like a bit of a cultish town. Emery can't wait to escape as she hasn't seen her brother in 6 months and she feels like she is losing control and herself and wants more. Emery then decides to apply for a college outside of the border and gets in and moves into the dorm. Finally, she is free from her family and mother's spies, or so she thinks. Ryler was hurt from an accident during foster care - he prefers to keep his voice to himself and now is a mute and signs. He also works as an informant for a dangerous man as he is trying to survive. From his first meeting of Emery, he can tell there is more than meets the eye and the pair connect. The pair are trying to survive and live their lives, but what happens when Emery and Ryler's lives crash when they both discover that Doc and Emery's Dad are the same person. Can Ryler protect Emery when she starts to receive threats? Will Emery let Ryler when she learns that he works with her father? Also why is Emery taking the pills and where is Ellis - they were the big questions which I hope get answered in Book #2. What I also loved about this book was Ryler's friends included Luke, Violet, Greyson and Seth which we had met in a couple of the previous series by Jessica Sorensen.  I am now looking forward to reading the next book in this series by Jessica Sorensen and fingers crossed for a happy ending for both Emery and Ryler. PS – I have a cover crush on this book.
