I recently reviewed Gateway to Reality by [...] for the Blogger Book Fair. When Empath showed up in my in-box I was very excited to start another book by this author. I've enjoyed her previous word, and was hoping this one would be just as good.First - let me point out the title is misleading, and I'm totally not an empath. Though many people have called me empathetic, and I'm okay with that label. It's probably a good thing too, I don't think I'd want to feel everyone else's emotions all the time like Jade does.The focus on an Empath is exactly what drew me to the book and I was not at all disappointed in the path this story took. It was well written, and gave me a few hours of peace and enjoyment. (Or escapism, you choose :P ).Empath my favorite book by Campbell so far. I'm glad it's the beginning of a series, and look forward to the rest when they come out!My review will be shorter than normal, as I'm very busy with other work, and about to embark on creating a website, and new blog for the Global Market.The characters are well-developed, the relationships between Logan, Jade, Josh, Cam and Ethan were very well-developed. The point of view switches were great, and allowed the reader to get inside different characters.I also loved the 'abilities' of each character, and how they weren't necessarily the focus of the story, but instead added to each character.As an ARC copy, I found very few grammatical errors, and that's impressive!The ending made me cry, not because it was sad, but just because it was that touching. Well written, and very emotional. I'd share my favorite quote, but it would give away the ending.So, too bad people, you'll just have to read it yourself.
