“Flowing from Mundie Moms, the next stop on the MundiMoms’ LUMINOUS Blog Tour is Books with Bite.”
“As reality slips and time stands still, Consuela finds herself thrust into the world of the Flow. Removed from all she loves into this shifting world overlapping our own, Consuela quickly discovers she has the power to step out of her earthly skin and cloak herself in new ones-skins made from the world around her, crafted from water, fire, air. She is joined by other teens with extraordinary abilities, bound together to safeguard a world they can affect, but where they no longer belong.
When murder threatens to undo the Flow, the Watcher charges Consuela and elusive, attractive V to stop the killer. But the psychopath who threatens her new world may also hold the only key to Consuela’s way home.”
When I was a little girl, I had some crazy dreams. I love books that are all about a fantasy place that no one can visit but you. The Flow is that place. Your not sure if it exist, but you feel it and know its there.
One thing that caught me in this book was the place, Flow. It is a magical place that not that many people can see or get into. I like how Consuela was able to get into this place when she was not suppose to. You can tell right from the start that Consuela is a unique girl with a great talent. I adored her. Even when she saw something she didn’t recognize, she fell into it with ease. It was like she was meant to be there, to do something great! And V! He is someone that made me want to follow him where ever he goes. I really like how the reader was able to see his thoughts. There is just something about him that make you want to know more.
The characters were well develop. They all had different parts to play but in the end, the way it was put together was cool. I like how each characters had a place of their own, their own secret place that no one can enter.
Everyone knows knowledge and power can get in someone’s head and corrupt them. I like the plot twist and mysteriousness of it. You were pretty much kept in the dark till the very end. But when the whole picture came together, it clicked. I really like how it was all woven in to one piece.
Overall, Luminous is a book of a great fantasy place you want to live in. This story is nothing that I’ve ever read before. I really like how the Flow captured not only my eyes but my heart. Luminous is an amazing unique book with a world like no other!
I give it 4 BITES!

I like the sound of this one. It is always good to hear that the characters are well developed. Characters are more important to me than the actual story, if you can believe it. =P
