As I read Embraced, I identified with the character of Abby. What would I do if I were Abby and heard annoying clickings in my teeth? I'd be extremely worried that something was wrong with me. What if the sounds were like a code being tapped out? I'd wonder if I was losing my mind. But what if it turned out that they really were messages from some supreme being "up there"? It sure isn't something I'd tell anyone about. They'd think I was crazy.Abby is in a real dilemma. And then things get worse for her. She meets the most beautiful man she's ever seen in her life. He says he loves her, but he betrays her. Or does he? He's in and out of her life. He asks her if she thinks she's lived before. He visits without seeming to have to open a door - simply appears. Is he real? She wants him to go away so she can get her sanity back, but can't bear it when he's gone from her life.
And the messages? They tell her to write letters to fix things in the world. And it works! But it's all so overwhelming for her.
Embraced will keep you turning pages to find out how Abby will deal with the bizarre things going on in her life. The author engages and entertains the reader from start to finish. Expertly written and thoroughly enjoyable.

Embraced Darlene Jones 9781479228034 Books Reviews
I find it really strange that this book isn't doing as well as some other books I have seen. The story line is good. The plot keeps you glued to the pages. Each character appears to reach out to readers so am not too sure what is holding this book back.
What I did find fascinating were the twists and turns. A teeny bit similar to that of Agatha Christie's multiple twists that explode in a conclusion that will make you flip through at least parts of the story if not the full book.
Would I recommend this read? Sure, I think it deserves a lot more recognition than it is getting.
Overall assessment
Content 4/5
Editing 4/5
Formatting 4/5
Pacing 4/5
Offensive content? This was rated as G when given to me, I definitely do not think so. I would rate it at least PG to PG13.
Disclosure I received a review copy of this book from the author through Orangeberry Book Tours. I did not receive any payment in exchange for this review nor was I obliged to write a positive one.
Cover - Truth be told, this is what stopped me from giving it the full five stars. Yes, never judge a book by it's cover but there's so much effort put into the book, I'm surprised the author couldn't do the same with the cover.
Formatting / Appearance - Everything was in place and I have no issues in this section.
Story - I loved this unique story. You have these sci-fi elements that keep you turning the pages and the romance that keeps you entertained. Then, there are the characters. I liked Abby. She seems to be this searching soul who has more strength than she gives herself credit for.
What I liked - The overall concept was fantastic. It's strange cross between City of Angels and Just Like Heaven.
What I didn't like - I've already mentioned the cover. I think the pacing could have been improved. Some sections were smooth and others dragged a little too much.
Rating - 4 / 5 stars.
Disclosure - I received a complimentary copy from the author which did not affect my honest opinion.
Embraced was an unusual book with an unusual premise. It was part sci fi and part love story, although this was not the kind of love story where everyone lives happily ever after.
I'll try to give a flavour of the story without giving too much away. It starts with Abby, a school headmistress. She is a likeable character but she has a problem that is somewhat unusual. She is troubled with clicking sounds in her teeth and is convinced that these are alien messages which she is desperate to decipher. She enrols the help of one of her students, Curtis, a rather unlikely sidekick who is overweight, has acne, bad hair, and body odour, however he is also a geek who helps her unravel the messages.
Cut to an alien environment now. I'm not sure whether this is a planet, or some kind of mythical Mount Olympus, or maybe even Heaven, but it is inhabited by Supreme Beings who are the Guardians of the Universe. In their world Earth is simply a speck that one of their number is assigned to watch over.
The person assigned to watch over Earth is Paul, a trainee Power. Paul, however, is a badly behaved adolescent who is enjoying himself by playing games on Abby. The clicking sounds in Abby's teeth are his doing, and they actually mean nothing. Paul is supervised by Yves, an Adjunct, who is in despair at Paul's bad behaviour because he is in love with Abby, despite it being against the rules for a Supreme Being to become involved with an earthling.
Paul continues to mess around with Abby and his interference in her life increases with drastic results. I don't want to go any further because that would involve revealing spoilers. Suffice to say that Abby becomes more distressed, Paul's games increase, and Yves becomes more disturbed.
The two interlinking storylines worked well, seamlessly moving between each other, and both held the interest. I did, however, relate better to Abby than the supreme beings, although I really wanted to take Paul by the scruff of the neck and give him a good shake. On the other hand I felt that Yves was a bit distant, and I was more concerned with Abby's bereavement over the loss of her love interest than I was with Yves unrequited yearning for her.
On balance, I enjoyed reading Embraced, although I would have liked a little more information about the Supreme Beings' world. I felt the storyline was different, unusual and intriguing. I was saddened by the ending, although there was a note of hope for Yves, if not Abby, and I had the distinct feeling there would be another book to come.
This is a well written novel with themes of control, adolescent behaviour, thwarted love, reincarnation, and godlike supreme beings. And now I'm off to read the first book in this series Embattled'. I wonder if it will answer the questions I was left with about the Supreme Beings' world?
