Rating: 5 out of 5

Severed is part of a serial novel and only about fifty-nine pages in length, but what a jammed packed action filled fifty-nine pages it is.  Cyena and Tyana are sisters and part of the powerful ruling class.  They have lived a life of comfort and with the exception of the ridicule Cyena is subjected to because of the lack of manifestation and ability to use her powers, they have always been cosseted and protected.  Through a series of thought provoking events the sisters come to realize all is not what it appears and they set off to investigate finding more than they ever imagined or bargained for.  The world building is very well done, the characters are likeable and intriguing, and the story increases in momentum with a jaw dropping edge of your seat ending.  The tale is presented much like a television series and leaves you hungering to find out what will happen next in the upcoming installment and with the exception of this being a very short read, Severed is a fun and exciting adventure.  I am definitely looking forward to reading what happens next. Even though this book is a very short read, it is very well written and there is so much that occurs without seeming rushed or poorly structured that in my opinion it warrants the five star rating, where normally I might have given it four stars based on the brevity of the tale. I won this book in a giveaway.
