THE REPOSSESSION IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

My Review-   I have no words literally to describe how much I love this book! I have never read anything like this before which made me like this book even more as it is very much different from other sci fi books because the sci fi that is portrayed in this book made everything feel realistic  and believable to me, which is very hard to convey, the same effect on the reader. This book was not very much known in America so did not have as much reviews as it is written by a British author, however that did not fail in attempt to make me want to carry on reading it. The second I read the blurb for this book, It grabbed my attention as it is gradually leading you on to find the mystery behind how these kids are disappearing one by one!  The reason I gave this book 5/5 stars is because the plot of this book is based on true, real life- threatening events happening each and every day and not only putting a risk on the innocent children's lives but also making the parents suffer with guilt and regret. I was thoroughly pleased with the fact that The Repossession was not based on much of romance and was clearly focusing on the revealing mystery. This book requires you to think quite a lot as it is not one of those books that is a light hearted read. I absolutely adored the cover of this book as the image of Genie the girl who is possessed by the devil as so everyone believes so, as when you first look at it, it portrays sympathy on the reader because half of her face is covered with shattered glass which automatically draws you to the book! It really touched me how    Genie, who is heavily abused and tortured by her mother and on the other hand Rian, who achieves excellent grades , fits in with the popular and the geeks at school, who are both totally different people,  however Rian is willing to put his own life in danger in order to save genie's life and get her out away from her mental mother into thinking her own daughter is possessed by the devil. No matter how many times they will separate apart from each other, fate will always bring them closer together. To be honest when i found out they were both 15 years of age, it slightly put me off because young love, in my opinion is very immature as they do not even know what the phrase " love" actually means. However after reading this book, it proved me wrong as it goes to show when two people who love each other very much, nothing else matters! I really liked how this book was not very predictable into knowing what is instantly going to come onto you next.I was shocked and surprised at the same time how much well detailed sci- fi research is put into this book although I have got to say when I first read the blurb, it did not occur to me into being a sci- fi and more of a supernatural type of book. The way the tension kept on building at each pace, I thoroughly enjoyed as there was something to look forward to every time. Although this is one hefty book full of 499 pages long, do not be put off by that as I was actually shocked how I would have never thought to read the whole, entire book in one day straight, however i got to admit i did stay up late at night to complete it. The second part " The Hunting " is coming out later on these next few months I believe, which I am so excited to read and finding out if Genie, Rian and Renee's friendship will be that strong in able for them to survive? I highly recommend for everyone to read this book and I am sure you will not be disappointed! Again do not be put off by the reviews on this book even though they are mixed in the range of 3-5 stars, give it a go and you never know what might surprise you!
