Order of Vespers (The Vespers Chronicles Book 1) by Matilda Reyes – Review by Sheri Schrader

Order of Vespers by Matilda Reyes

The Order of Vespers by Elyse Reyes is an interesting, creative story. Jasper Andrews is in high school but does not live a normal life. Eighteen is rough enough but Jasper has some unique problems. She is involved in a freak explosion that allows a secret group to find out about her powerful abilities. When her family is killed suddenly Jasper takes off to protect herself. She is led into a powerful play between the group searching for her and The Order of Vespers. Can Jasper figure out if she should battle in vengeance for the death of her family or for the greater good?
Jasper is a tough, smart girl who has lost everything she ever knew and is on the run of her life. Her powers are still developing. She is not quite in control of herself and the world around her. The hardest part is that she was raised trying to hide her powers. Now everyone wants what she has. Jasper is caught between two groups and must decide which group has the better interest for everyone.
The writing is good and I always enjoy a creative story. The beginning was a bit confusing to me but I quickly caught what was going on and got deeply involved in the story. The characters were well developed and relatable. The story once it got going was well paced and interesting. It was a quick read that was fun. I enjoyed the book and will look for more by this author.
