INITIAL THOUGHTS BEFORE BEGINNING TO READ
I have to admit that I am really looking forward to reading this collection of novella's as this series of books is one of my all time favourites! So far I have I've read up to and including book 10. I have also read some of the novella's that Kelley has featured on her website for free, so I think maybe I will have read one or two of these novella's already but am highly anticipating discovering and loving the ones I haven't read and re-reading the one's I have.

Title: Surrender The Sky
Author: Meradeth Houston
Publisher: Muse It Up 
Release Date: May 2014

BLURB from Goodreads
Gabby lives by two unbreakable rules: don’t expose her kind, the Sary, and don’t fall in love—too bad some rules are made to be broken.

When Gabby’s most difficult charge accidentally shoots her in front of a class full of students, the event exposes her carefully hidden identity. She shifts from looking like a normal teen to her secret Sary form, revealing her wings and the existence of her kind—immortals who try to keep people from committing suicide. Her incident attracts the attention of the next leader of the Sary, Jassen, who offers her an impossible bargain: she can keep her wings if she makes amends with those who know the truth. Things get more complicated when a rebel Sary, intent on exposing them to the world, starts interfering with Gabby’s work. And there’s no denying her attraction to Jassen, who is torn between his duties and his heart. With threats at every turn and her immortality on the line, Gabby has to find a way to save the Sary or surrender the sky forever.


INITIAL THOUGHTS
As I have already read Colors Like Memories and Chemistry Of Fate, two other Sary stories by Meradeth Houston I am really looking forward to reading another great Sary story. What will the main character Sary in this book be like?" What lessons will this Sary learn and/or help will be given to the Sary's charge? I really enjoyed the other two books by Meradth and gave them both 4/5 stars on Goodreads so I have high expectations of this book!


So that's the two books I am reading at the moment. Unfortunately due to my Meniere's Disease, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Type 3, and Chronic Fatigue (yes it's a long, ever increasing lengthy list of health problems! I know) I am being rather slower than usual reading my books. . . .I hope to be finishing reading and adding my reviews to my blog soon!

So what are YOU reading? What's the genre? Are YOU enjoying it? Have YOU read either of the books I am reading now? What did YOU think to them? (No Spoilers please)

    1. I am enjoying the novella's by Kelley Armstrong and am really loving reading Gabby's story in Surrender The Sky, I think it has a message within to not judge a person by the outer shell they show you as you never know what they are going through in their home life.
