The Ylem- Tatiana Vila

 
 
 
 
An ancient book, a seventeen-year-old girl and an exotic boy from a supernatural world hold the key to freedom for a long-oppressed race, but that freedom could come at the cost of the human world.
Seventeen-year-old Kalista is suffering from a broken heart, so when her playwright father proposes they move their lives from New York to New Mexico because he is in need of inspiration Kalista is 100% on-board with him. New Mexico proves to be the perfect balm for her wounds and she is just starting to feel some of her old spunk when Tristan Winfield comes into her life and pulls all of her barriers down. Kalista is captivated by Tristan's unusual silver eyes and feels an inexplicable connection to him, which begins to manifest itself in her dreams with bizarre images of a waterfall and an orb.

While searching for an explanation for her troubling dreams, Kalista discovers an ancient book which holds the secrets of a supernatural race of creatures. But when Killings hit town, she realizes her finding has come at a high price. She's in the middle of a power struggle now, a struggle that seems to be linked to the secret wrapped within the pages of that book. A secret she and Tristan are part of...

"A phoenix rising from it's ashes. I wasn't going to be defeated by pain. Or anyone"







The Review-


4 1/2 Stars

Favorite character- Kalista
Favorite male character- Caleb
Least favorite character- Tristan

I hated Tristan. He was so.... wrong. He strung poor Kalista along and made her believe things that weren't really there. But of course the reader will learn that it's the evil "girlfriends" fault. But Tristan didn't have to go along with it. He said he loved Kalista. Why would he then tell her they were never supposed to be together. Ugh! Frustrating! Caleb was my favorite male character because he was fun and interesting. He had a story. He had history with Kalista and it was a cute history ans still a decade later he still cares for the cute little girl he met a while ago. I thought Kalista was fiesty. She knew what she was doing. She knew what she wanted and she wasn't going to let anybody take it awya from her. And whatever you do.... Don't lie to her!!!
