Distant Memories (Nurse Morgan Series Book 2) by Kate MacInnis – Review by Amanda Meady

Distant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book TwoDistant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book Two by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book of the series and the author has successfully bridged the gap between two very different worlds. The characters, those breathing and those who have stopped, are well developed and relatable in some way. As the book delved further into the intertwined worlds and glimpses of the past and present, I wanted to be there to witness the events myself. I look forward to future books by the author.

Distant Memory: She Remembered Everything (Solum Series Book #3) by Colleen S. Myers – Review by Angela Hayes

Distant MemoryDistant Memory by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Distant Memory is the third book in the Solum series by Colleen S. Myers. It is a science fiction/fantasy story with action, adventure, aliens, magic, revenge, romance, conflict, friendship, suspense, emotion, and drama. This follows on from book #1 and #2, as the story continues from one book to another, so I really recommend reading the first two book before starting on this one- in order to have all the backstory, character information, and other relevant details, which will help you better appreciate this story.
This story has an intense, raw and gritty ‘race-against-time” component to it that really had me wondering how things would play out. It picks up where book two left off, and even though it was a little ‘slower’ to get going than the other two books, it is still a great read. There is some repetitive details and information which also made the story ‘lag’ at times.
As with the first book, the world building is excellent, with wonderful descriptions and details. The characters were well crafted, interesting and original- we catch up with characters we know, as well as meeting some new ones. The story was ‘tied up’ somewhat at the end, but I still have questions and things I want to know. I don’t know if there will be more books, but I certainly hope so.
Another great instalment in the series.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Myers does next!

Thank you, Ms. Myers!

Distant Memory by Colleen Myers
Stars:4

This is book 3 of the Solum series. Like the previous 2 books, we are following Elizabeth on her path as she remembers what has happened to her. Colleen Myers does a fantastic job at pulling in her readers and keeping them tangled in the story. I felt there were tons of twists and turns that kept me guessing on what was coming next. I recommend this series!

Distant Memory: She Remembered Everything by Colleen S. Myers is the third book in the Solum series. This is a series that ideally needs to be read in order as it follows the same characters and the same story all the way through.
We are taken back into Beta’s world where she finally learns everything she had once forgotten. The book is as gripping and fast paced as the previous two have been. The author takes you on the journey with the characters. The whole way through I felt so invested in what was happening to them.
I really hope this isn’t the last of this series because it really has been a fantastic read.

Distant Memory by Colleen S. Myers

Four Stars

I truly don’t know how to feel about Elizabeth. She is so indecisive about everything. Her relationship with Marin, Finn and her father is all a mess. She is constantly pushing Marin away. Granted I wouldn’t know how to feel living in her shoes. But I wouldn’t be holding secrets from someone I claim to love. The story was entertaining in some parts. Others parts just contained what I like to call filler words. I really have enjoyed this series so far and am ready for the next part. I need to know how everything falls into place. Beta is a hot mess and it’s going to take a while to fix all her issues. It’s so sad that she lives off her hate and need to kill Xade. That type of blindness is what stops you from seeing what else is happening around you. The author has done a really good job developing these characters and has made them very complex. They are just like you and me. They experience 50 million emotions in one day.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Distant Memory: She remembered everything (Solum Series Book 3) Colleen S. Myers is a fantasy sci fi story and one I have been waiting to read and of course Colleen did not let me down. You must read them in order or you will miss so much and only have a third of the story and the background information on the characters. She kept me engrossed and perched on the edge of my seat, as I turned page after page, with her masterful and vivid writing skills and a plot that has more twist and turns than a piece of licorice. There is more action and suspense, secrets and lies, truths and danger and we get to find out the answers to questions that have been sitting around the edges just waiting to be revealed.

Distant MemoryDistant Memory
ByColleen S. Myers
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Distant Memory (Solum series Book 3) by Colleen S. Myers was a emotionally raw, race against the time, science fiction thriller, that had me on the edge of my seat.

The third book in the Solum Series, it picks up right were the last leaves off. A little warning, this is a connecting series and the timeline is continuous. Each book pretty much picks up were the last leaves off, so I highly suggest starting from book one. If not,you’re going to be confused that and, there is a lot of background and other plot points that will not make sense if you skip. Plus as always, you run the risk of spoilers.

I don’t want to give anything away at the risk of somehow spoiling this amazing read. Just know that this book is on par with the others but, has the added affect of, a little bit of aftermath from the last book, and the race against time element. This book has a lot of raw emotions and it pushes our MC to her limits. I have to say I was a little worried towards the end. There is a split second where you’re sitting there like… no the author didn’t. Gaw, my heart can’t take it when they pull stuff like that.

As for the ending, it was closed out, but not. As in, I’m sure there is more to come, because there are still so many unanswered questions and some uncertain faiths of other beloved characters.

Overall this book, as I said, is on par with the others. For me it lack some of that steller detail that made the first two books shine, but I can see why some of that was left out. When you’re on the clock, stopping and smelling the carnivorous plants isn’t a option. With that said I hope you take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this series, this book, is a must read, and you will not be able to put it down.

Happy Reading.

After finishing book 2 in this series I couldn’t wait to carry on with the story. It is a continuation story so I highly recommend the previous stories. I was excited to see recurring characters and also some new ones. I actually think this may have been my favourite from the series so far. The author creates such a magical, fantasy world through her amazing descriptive writing; she really does make you feel you are right there in the story. I really do love Beta and I love seeing how much her character has grown and continued to do so over this story, she seemed to gain this real strength about her. She has such determination to get revenge, she wants to stand up for what is right which is admirable and she is so passionate about it – that really comes across in this story! I loved all the new twists and turns that came up throughout the book. This really is a wonderful series and I cannot wait to see what is to come next from this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about changes. After the events of the previous novel, Elizabeth and her friends are desperate to rescue their friend Finn from the torturous ways of the E’mani. But when they meet a mysterious stranger called Selmay, they discover there may be more to the story. Searching for Finn, they find dangers in store and face new enemies closer to heart. Can they make it through it all and save their friend or will it be too late?
A great read. Well developed plot. The sense of uneasy quiet after the war while having villains still at large was brilliantly done full of tensions and suspense to keep you reading. New characters like Selmay were well developed seeking revenge but kind underneath or Texxak as mysterious and ambitious or Roger given more of a story with his past. I also liked how this trilogy continues to stick to Elizabeths perspective in the narrative as we follow her journey and is easy to follow in the first person.
I als0 loved the use of lab settings throughout the novel with the sense of claustrophobia and small spaces/ corridors for unease. In particular with the red lighting and dangerous walls in one lab later on which was excellently done. And then the contrast with open spaces and forests of outside which was a great combination. I also liked the sense of fantasy of winged creatures but the realism of science and computer hacking. And in this the feel of finding a family in the Remains and working together to stop horrible things from happening The only issue I would raise is that there was repetition at tunes at the beginning with long sentences which were hard to read. It also seemed slow paced and this could be resolved with a few more action scenes or conflicts to help keep the reader engaged. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Distant Memory is Book 3 in the Solum Series by author Colleen S. Myers. I don’t know how many times I can keep writing how incredible this authors book are, each time I have read another book from this author she just continues to get better and better.

With that being said, this is series is the one I have loved the most! Everything about this read captivates me. I highly recommend you read these books in order to really understand each read and just as a whole is a series not be missed! I have been eagerly awaiting this book, and now it over its a bittersweet thing.

This book carries on straight after the events of Book 2 ‘Can’t Forget’ its a smooth seamless transition that flows just like the rest of the book.
Throughout this book, we are thrown twists and turns continuously its full of action, adventure and you never tire of it. You cannot put this read down, you are constantly turning the pages wondering what could possibly happen next – yet when it does it’s something you never expect!

Each character that Beta interacts within this book whether they are recurring characters from Book 1 & 2 or new characters, comes across to you as the reader in different ways. But while they may have their own part in Beta’s story it’s Beta’s story that you can’t help bugs be connected with. With each book and especially this one Beta has become even stronger and resilient even with all the choices she has to make.

This read is once again one of the most mentally visual books I have read, I was captivated at every turn, was catapulted into Beta’s story as though it was my own! I highly highly recommend this read & this series, and hope this isn’t the last we get from these amazing characters!

Thank-you Colleen S. Myers for this fantastic series!

Colleen S. Myers has done it again with Book three in The Solum Series: Distant Memory. I continue to love the characters and I really want to see Finn and Beta together. I get it her and Marin are mates and married but Finn was there first. This is the story we’ve been waiting for where Beta and Xade have their moment, more than one actually. There are also new characters introduced that are surprising and add a new twist to the story. I am hoping there is a book four in the series but with the ending it could go either way. I wasn’t sure I would like the series when I first started it but I have grown to love it and I was excited when I saw book three was out finally.

This is the third book in this series, I highly suggest reading the previous books before this to help your enrichment of this series. In this book Ellizabeth is determined to get Finn back from E’manis. I enjoyed how we get to see her learning more about who she is. She is a strong character, we get to see how strong she is as she sets out on revenge. This book is action from start to finish and left me sitting on the edge just waiting to see what happens next. I highly recommend this book.

Distant Memory (The Solum Series Book 3)
By Colleen S. Myers
Rated 5 stars

I am so glad to be reading this third book. I can not even explain my feelings after finishing. Happy, Sad, frustrated? Well a bit of all three. The story picks up where the last one left off. Finn has been taken and Beta (Elizabeth) is determined to find him. Her relationship with Marin is still a bit rocky and they each are dealing with trust issues.

This story is full of action! Pretty much from the beginning. It’s also full of twists and turns. Sometimes I wasn’t sure which way I wanted to story to go. I can only imagine poor Elizabeth (Beta) having to make these decisions. I easily became involved in the characters and the story. I had a hard time putting this down. Reading this felt like coming home.

There are a ton a characters. We met many of the new ones in the last book. We are able to revisit with many of them here. While they are all actively involved they don’t Steal the story away from the main characters. I enjoyed all of these characters immensely
(Even Xade). Getting to know them and basically becoming involved in their lives I will miss hanging out with them. Wondering what adventure Beta (Elizabeth) is going to go on next. So rereading is what will be on board for this series.

I kinda felt at loose ends when finishing. So I’m not sure if there will be another in the series or not. I am very glad I found this series and highly recommend it to any science fiction readers with a side of romance.

5 out of 5 stars

The story Distant Memory: She remembered everything (Solum Series Book 3) by Colleen S. Myers is a fantasy/science fiction book. It is one that I have been looking forward to reading. This is a series that I have enjoyed since the first book. I didn’t want to put this story down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about Elizabeth “Beta” Camden. Beta is a character that you only grow to love with each chapter of each book that you read. She is strong, independent, and stubborn. She is also smart and resourceful. This is a story that I went into having a lot of questions and wondering if all of them would be answered. It is a book that had me turning pages in order to find out what happens next and if everyone is standing in the end. There is action and danger around every corner and I was always wondering who can really be trusted. The story has truths that are revealed and plans put into motion. Most of the additional characters are ones brought forward from the first two books along with some new ones. I enjoyed reading about everyone’s part that they play and their interactions with Beta. This is a wonderfully written story and series. Highly recommended reading.
