Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans
4.0
What it's about: Level 2 is the place that exists after we die. A level where memories can be continually accessed, scored and even rented out to others. But Level 2 isn't all that is seems, and when a boy from Felicia's past arrives, it shakes up everything she thought she knew.
What I thought: Level 2 is a wonderful paranormal dystopian novel, with a wonderful twist into what life after death is like. Not only does everyone have their own white pod to access their memories, they are also used as a currency, which isn't overly looked at, but gave this world a new and exciting feel. I love reading dystopians (which this kind of is and kind of isn't) and discovering the new and different worlds the author has created. Lenore Appelhans has created a wonderful novel in Level 2, giving up action, intrigue and best of all romance. Topped with mystery and surprises, it's like a birthday cake that can't really disappoint.
Level 2 is a great debut for Lenore Appelhans and I am super interested to see where Level 3 is going to go.
The Good: Such a wonderful fresh premise gave all the expectations and more.
The Bad: While some might love Felicia and her obsession with Neil, I however did not. His goodness was way too over the top for me and made me want to gag most of the time. Julian was also disregarded as bad bad bad the entire book and I felt like we didn't get a proper look at him. I also felt she didn't really choose between 'two loves' - it was always Neil.
