Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 09 5, 2012
Ianni is released and you can't miss this novella! And if you have not already pick up The Many Lives of Avery Snow-I personally think its a great start and lead into Ianni, follow the story, BUT I also LOVE that you could read Ianni alone. Great job to the author, Christy Sloat.The Many Lives of Avery Snow had me rethinking all I thought in life, thinking about family and friends and the connections in life. Oddly, I have never had a book do that. I've re-read the book several times, and have been anxiously awaiting new material in the Past Lives series. And...it has arrived!Ianni released on August 30 with a boom! My heart cried for Ianni, and also for Lillith surprisingly, but those tears turned to smiles, and I really felt like you just watch someone evolve in life, the book comes to life-it's awesome. Although it is just a Novella (short story), I felt like connections were made, a new story was formed completely, and I fell in love with it.It takes a lot for a good author to draw me into a book, and I feel like Christy did it with the Past Lives Series. Ianni is someone I can connect with, feel for, and grieve through. My heart broke at the falling -and I wanted to punch some people- and yes I cried, along with others who have read the book-come on, don't deny it! I previously felt like there was something in Avery that I related to myself, and Landon (although, lets be clear-I am still and will remain Team Dallas-because I just love that man)like my own husband, destined with how we meet and how things have gone. Christy has taken reading to a new level for me, I have connected with the characters, related to them, and fell in love with their stories and truly love what is happening (the last time that happened was Twilight-although I've read a few since-it hasn't happened until THIS book, not even in TMLOAS). Reading Ianni, A Past Lives Novella, is an amazing experience, you will want more!Challenge yourself and ask, do you believe in past lives, spirit guides, angels, dark guides, heaven and hell, destiny, passion, and heartache...Truly, The Many Lives of Avery Snow is phenomenal, and it left no doubt, shock, or surprise that Ianni, A Past Lives Novella would be, and IS, exceptional! Put this on your must read list and be surprised, overwhelmed, and though-provokingly caught in the midst of a realm of past lives and reality. Joyous reading!Ianni is a fulfilling short read that I personally loved! My only wish...to see it as a movie! How awesome this series would play out!*Signed with a 5 star recommend... mushy sap reader mommy*  :-)
