Children Of The Future by Jane Suen – Review by Heather Lovelace

Children Of The FutureChildren Of The Future by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Suen has a gift for writing compelling, thought-provoking tales. This novella kept me engaged and quite frankly kept me guessing the whole way. I found the characters to be relatable, and the plot felt much bigger than the few pages it was contained within. This mystery is one I will most heartedly recommend to others. Just a wonderful book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Most certainly not normally a book with tones I would automatically pick up. However Shaw does a brilliant job getting the reader to invest in the characters presented. This book does stand well on its own and you will not be at a loss if you have not already read the first in the series. However I believe you will ultimately appreciate the plot and character development if you have read book one. Very well written. Even if you do not agree with the lifestyle outlined, the reader will unwittingly become very invested in the characters and the choices they face. Well written.

This book continues my love affair with every book Myers writes. From beginning to end, this romantic suspense had me hooked. If you think MC novels are just motorcycles and mayhem, you have another thing coming. The book is full of fantastic characters, riveting plot development, and a universe you will dive into headfirst.

It can be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend reading it in series order. Myers is a must-read do truthfully why wouldn’t you go ahead and read the rest?

I absolutely loved it and my only regret was that it ended at all.
