BLURB:
Reality is only an illusion.
Except for those who can control it…
Worst. Birthday. Ever.
My first boyfriend dumped me – happy birthday, Josie!- my dad is who knows where, I have some weird virus that makes me want to hurl, and now my ex is licking another girl’s tonsils. Oh, and I’m officially the same age as my brother was when he died. Yeah, today is about as fun-filled as the swamps of Dagobah. But then weird things start happening…
Like I make something materialize just by thinking about it.
When hot badass Reid Wentworth shows up on a motorcycle, everything changes. Like, everything. Who I am. My family. What really happened to my brother. Existence. I am Oculi, and I have the ability to change reality with my thoughts. Now Reid, in all his hotness, is charged with guiding and protecting me as I begin learning how to bend reality. And he’s the only thing standing between me and the secret organization that wants me dead…

MY REVIEW:
I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Josie is having the worst day of her life. Her boyfriend
breaks up with her, she thinks she has a virus or something with the enormous migraine
she has. She feels as if her head is about to explode. She finds out that her
parents have been lying to her since the day she was born. Oh and by the way
today is her birthday. Yeah Happy Birthday Josie! She is seventeen today the
same age as her brother when he died. And if that is not enough for you guess
what she has no idea where her Dad is. Yeah dear old dad is missing in action
on her birthday. But that is nothing new he is MIA most of the time when his
job. It keeps him on the road more than at home with the family that loves and
needs him more than anything.
But as they say everything has to balance out. You for every
action there is a reaction or something like that. Evil v/s good, Yin and Yang
kind of thing. The one good thing that does happen to Josie on her bad birthday
is that a new guy shows up at her school for his first day at her school and
boy is his one good looking dude. Reid and his friend Santos ride up on their
motorcycles and are very bada**.
But what Josie doesn’t know is that Reid and Santos have a
lot of secrets they are hiding form her. But they will all come out when the
time is right of course. She finds out that she is Oculi and that Reid is there
to train, protect and keep her out of the hands of the people who want her
dead. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that part earlier when I was telling you
about how bad her birthday was. Opps!
Reid has given up his life and who he is to keep Josie safe
and alive. He will protect her right up until he takes his very last breath if
that is what it takes to keep her safe and out of the hands of the people who
want her dead. The Oculi are not supposed to have any kind of feelings for each
other but that doesn’t stop Reid or Josie when the sparks start flying. But who
can stop what they are feeling in their heart even if they do thing that the
one person that they have let in has done them wrong it doesn’t stop them from
loving.
I am very glad that I finally decided to pick up Anomaly and
read it. I wish that I had done so a lot sooner. I wanted so bad to read it
when I first got it but I kept putting it off trying to keep up with all of my
duties as a blogger and reviewer. I finally got a break so I said I’m going to
do it this time and I am so glad that I listened to myself. I have never read
anything like Anomaly before. It was filled with so much action that I didn’t
want to put it down I wanted to keep on reading.
When I wasn’t reading it I
sure was thinking about it and all of the characters wondering what they were
doing and what was going to happen next. It really took me on a road that I
never thought I would be going down. The ending really took me by surprise and
I never saw it coming but I loved it and hated it but that is what makes a book
good. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. I just know it will be
amazing. I recommend Anomaly to all paranormal and fantasy fans or anyone
looking for a good book to read.

I don't typically like covers that feature close ups of faces/bodies but I think this one works. Especially like the background.
