SYNOPSIS
In this new adult novel, readers are consumed by the collision of past and present. Raw and dark, this emotional minefield is the perfect second book in the continuing story of Harlow Jones.
Ratings: 5 StarsI received an arc in exchange for an honest review.
Consumed is Book 2 in The Collide Series by J.C. Hannigan. This book takes place two years after Collide. Harlow is in college and trying to figure out what she really wants and what she really feels. I actually read this book in one day. I didn't eat or take my 20 naps that I usually do when reading. Page after page you feel the raw emotions of what Harlow is going through. Consumed was full of suspense and old characters resurfacing.
The new characters that were introduced were all likeable. Can I say I have a huge crush on Jax. Ajax a.k.a Jax joins Harlow in a class one day and basically he never left her side even though she wanted him too.....initially.
Overall, Consumed was beautifully done. J.C. Hannigan had me sold with Jax and Harlow (we all know that I disliked Iain with a passion and still do). I will also add that the author was very evil for where she left off Consumed and I will be patiently stalking her until the 3rd book is written.
Another great story about growth, love , is face paced, emotional and suspenseful read.
Collide (Collide Series Book One)
Harlow
Jones has a troubled past, and a questionable future. Surrounded by
death, tragedy, and intrigue, she is forced to mature long before her
time. Plagued by anxiety and depression, she hides her inner turmoil
with spite and sarcasm. Her thick skin is impenetrable…or so she
thought. Until she becomes involved with her grade twelve English
teacher.
In this exclusive entry into the new adult genre, with raw style that is as dark as it is poignant, Collide presents the ultimate choice: forbidden love or doing the right thing?
J.C. Hannigan’s love of reading was spawned from a very early age. She inhaled novels with an unquenchable thirst. Eventually, that love of reading turned into a love for writing. She started to pen stories at the tender age of nine while sitting at her white desk, pencil posed over lined paper, writing countless stories about a girl, her best friend, their horses and the adventures they’d have going on trial rides together. Born with a chronic pain bone disorder called Multiple Hereditary Exostoses, she didn’t get to play sports or run amuck like her siblings and peers. Writing kept her company amid a world of surgeries, bad pain days, and isolation.
She started a blog when she was fifteen-years-old, chronicling the challenges of high school, dating, and coping with her chronic pain bone disorder. That blog went on to win a Bloggie for Best Teen Weblog, and J.C.’s ego inflated quite a bit over it (enough to continuously mention it even today).
J.C. currently resides in a small town in Ontario with her husband, their two sons, and two dogs. When she isn’t trying to wrangle kids and dogs, she can be found writing. In addition to writing new adult romance and suspense novels, J.C. writes a blog for the MHE Coalition, discussing the struggles of living with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses. She also contributes to several other websites, including her personal blog, the OCH Literary Society, and she is the content manager for Stigma Fighters Canada. Through her writing, J.C. brings to light awareness of mental health and social challenges. Her writing has been described as edgy, bold, poignant, and raw.
Other hobbies of J.C.’s include hiking, camping, binge-watching shows like Outlander, Game of Thrones, The Vampire Diaries, and The Walking Dead, eating dill pickle chips and daydreaming of travelling around the world. J.C. adores interacting with readers, so don’t hesitate to reach out and say hi! She tries her best to respond to every message.
