Fantasic world building, i didn't want to leave it for reality!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Yes, I screamed. No, I can't tell you why. Yes, I am sure. No, I won't change my mind. GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! I hope that got it out of my system- no guarantees.
What a world! What a wonderful magical world! A.D. Justice has always kept me on my toes. Her mind is a tornado of plot and characters but I never imagined she had this inside her!
Cloaked is an incredible beginning to a world that hopefully won't end. With so many opportunities to meet new "people" I would probably cry if she ever stopped writing in this realm.
The incredible descriptions lead the reader into a magical place. I could vividly see and experience the world she has created. I loved the different feel and the similarities making it a cohesive experience for all sorts of readers. Those with wild and insightful imaginations are going to soar in this technicolor dream a la Wizard Of Oz. Even those that can't daydream about a place they have never been will be able to thrive in the Covis Realm with the full bodied depictions. I am so jealous of everyone picking this book up for the first time. I want the wide eyed joy and clean slate to start over! I want to go back to before A.D. Justice left me gasping for air, trying to turn a page only to realize its over. I have already turned the final page. I can't go back to that innocent awe. I can only wait for answers with love and with fierce determination. I will find answers.

Cloaked is the first in an exciting new YA fantasy. Sara is a smart young woman who was feeling stifled in her small town life. But she isn’t who or what she has known herself to be. When she falls through a portal her life and destiny change drastically. I was enthralled. I couldn’t put this book down. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Great start
Story brings you in, and leaves you interested to find out what will happen next, story did speed up a bit fast for ending but wasn’t a deal breaker for reading the next book.

This is a new to me author and I am going to be honest in this review.
There are many things to consider before I start giving reviews.
1. This is the 1st book in the series
2. I am not familiar with the author's style of writing.
Ok, so I went in blind and I can say that the author built up a nice world of elves and magic and humans in a different realm
It was interesting and but it didn't catch my attention until 45% in and then it started having spurt of too much anticipation followed by a dull few pages. The moment the main pair was pushed too much to be a couple, I sensed something off, anyway I won't give spoilers.
But, the last few chapters made up for the first half of subtle plot.
I was gonna give 3.5 stars but the last 2-3 chapters made me hooked to the last word. So I can say this book is just a build up to a good adventure!

WOW! Cloaked is a wonderfully magical book!
Cloaked is the first book in a new YA Fantasy series by AD Justice and it is not one to miss.
From the beginning I was hooked and pulled into a world where every fantastical creature we only imagined existed actually did. In the Covis Realm, you have vampires, wolf shifters, elves, mages, witches and warlocks, even dragons!!
Sara Nemertes is a young high school senior who lives in a small town with her Nana helping her run a gardening store. She has this feeling that she needs to do more with her life but doesn’t quite know how to do it.
When her Nana all of a sudden disappears, Sara doesn’t know what to do. She runs into the forest which is her favourite place to escape and tries to figure out what to do. When the branch she’s sitting on breaks, Sara plummets to the ground but ends up falling into a different world. She looks around and doesn’t recognise the forest she’s in anymore.
The story continues in the Covis Realm where Sara realises the life she has lead so far isn’t who she truly is. Secrets unfurl that make Sara realise life as she knew it is nowhere near what she imagined it would be.
The plot twists in this book were AMAZING! I was on the edge of my seat reading throughout the day. I HAD to know what happened next. And now I can’t wait for the next book in the series to be released because that ending…MIND BLOWN!
If you’re a fan of Paranormal Romances, then you NEED to get this book.

There is zero way that there is anything ordinary about this new book from AD Justice. My mind is legit blown away with this story that I am still at a loss for words at how epic it is. The concept alone is absolutely brilliant. The whole story keeps you on your toes as you go through everything that is thrown at Sara. The ups and downs and the all arounds. I was just at a loss for words when I closed the book. Plus a cursed Justice JUST a little…… but she deserved it. THAT ENDING!! What just happened?!??!!
Overall, this book is sheer brilliance. It is witty and one of a kind. The passion is intense in it. The concept behind the Covis realm is awe inspiring. The attention to detail that Justice created for this story has me begging for more. I was so caught up in the world that she has created with this series. I am dying for more. I need more… GIMMIE!!!! Yes I am demanding it. It needs to be read. If you want a fantasy tale, look no further than the first installment of this series because it will blow you away!!!
