Providence

Not My Favorite

I bought this book because I loved Beautiful Disaster, and I liked the way that Jamie McGuire writes. I wasn't really impressed with this book. I didn't feel like there was enough interaction between Nina and Jared before Nina fell for him. The intense feelings that she had for him so soon after meeting him just didn't really seem believable to me.
I wasn't expecting this book to be of such a supernatural nature and I think that is what really threw me while reading it. Maybe I was just hoping for something a lot like Beautiful Disaster since I loved it so much!

Compared to "Beautiful Disaster" Providence proved to be a disappointment. I understood this book would have a fiction theme but I didn't expect to feel like I was reading nothing short of Harry Potter (imaginative wise) Although it's not a hit like Harry Potter (not that I'm a fan, but the book does a series of movies) it's certainly HIGHLY fiction. Talks about things that aren't even in the realm of reality. Bible of Hell, Demons ascending upon Earth--- long story short the theme of romance is definitely alive and you can almost feel the love the characters have for one another, and it also has a lot of comedy in it, but it was a little too wild on the imaginative side for me. I found myself thinking about possibly not finishing it at all, but then again no matter how horrible the story I can never not finish a book.

Love this Series and Love this Author

If you haven't ready Beautiful Disaster READ IT! This series is a must read and I can't wait for the final installment. It is uplifting and fun read but also suspenseful and moving love story. HIGHLY recommend!

LOVVVEEEDD IT- A Must Read

I read ALOT of books, but this one by far is one of the best..ranks right up there with the Twilight Saga. I couldn't keep my nose out of it. It's a great love story, as well as a "what's going to happen next" kind of book. I can't wait for the sequel!!

I enjoyed this story. Very easy read. Good character development although at times it felt while reading the story that there was so much information about Jared and Nina's love story then the author would throw in bits and pieces about the bad guys to keep it suspensful...it was like, oh yeah, we are fighting bad guys and a fight would ensue and then back to the love story drama.... the college friends are cute and Ryan is likeable enough. I will read the next book, I find the story entertaining enough to keep me reading.

What's there NOT to love?

I’ll start by saying this is the first Jamie McGuire’s book I read. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. I need to read Beautiful Disaster. The thing is I came upon this book by chance, I really didn’t intend to read a book right when I’m studying for finals, but it hasn’t left my mind since the moment I read the first chapter. And considering the amount of studying I have to do for my finals it’s not the wisest idea on my side. Either way, I have to say it was amazing. I loved every single part of it, oh so much.

Being the sucker for romance that I am, I knew this book would owe me the second we meet Jared. Can I say dreamy? Or angelic, if you’d like. ;) But that’s not all there is to Providence, oh certainly not. The action and suspense had me on edge almost all through the book.

I loved most characters, with exception of Ryan (don’t ask me why, not even I know), he was sweet and nice, and a great friend to Nina, but whatever right? Beth was probably my favorite supporting character, who doesn’t want a friend like that? Oh, and Kim’s bluntness had me laughing most of the time. I don’t really have much to say about Jared without swooning. My god! The words that he spoke were just GAH! So much sweetness, love and devotion. And Nina… well she was strong, it’s hard not to feel for her with everything she goes through. But I’ll go right out and say it, I did want to slap some sense into her more than once, and the closest to the end we got the more I worried. I was less than a hundred pages away and I was already freaking out and thinking there weren’t going to be enough pages to get me to a happy ending.

Anyway… this book will have you sitting on the edge of you seat, biting your nails nervously, grinning so hard your cheeks hurt, and falling in love with them every step of the way. Oh, and if you’re anything like me, probably crying your eyes out too. There’s romance, action, suspense and then some. What else can we ask for?

On a final note, I must add that this is not the last Jamie McGuire’s book I will read, for one because I still have to read Requiem and Eden (which I’m dying to read too, by the way), not to mention Beautiful Disaster.

Was a great read. May have a similar tone like twilight but a beautiful love story just the same. If you love edward and bella you will love jared and nina. Read this one you wont regret it!!!

Eh.....

It was ok, but the story has been done a million times before.

WOW!

The story flowed freely from beginning to end. There wasn't anything that left you wondering.
I loved the Love story. It wasn't too gushy but not stilted.
The love triangle was a little iffy but I loved both Ryan and Jared.
Claire ROCKED! If they ever do a movie on this book, I see Dakota Fanning as a great prospect for her character.

This author really knows how to tell a story without giving you alot of useless information. She explains everthing as the story moves along which keeps you from having to either read paragraph after paragraph of boring explanations from the narator or be interrupted with an explanation just when you are really starting to get into the story which also slows the pace of the story.

I would recommend everyone give this book a shot. It has strong potential for a very excellent series/trilogy.

Corrupted book

I was looking so foreward to reading this book. But it turns out that this book is corrupted and wont load for some people. And i just happened to be one of those. I went to barnes and noble to see what was wrong and they cleared my ENTIRE nook. I lost all of my data and wasted $3 on this book until they uncorrupt it which might never happen. A TIP OF ADVICE: do not buy this book unless you are positive it isnt corrupted

LOVED THIS

Absolutely fantastic!

First things first.

First of all, all you ladies who want to read a book like Beautiful Disaster should re-read Beautiful Disaster. Clearly everyone who read this book and found themselves surprised it was a paranormal romance did not read the description before buying. So, what? An author should write the same book over and over and never deviate, because the readers want to read the same book time and again? Get a grip. Unless you read Kristen Ashley, the no author's books are identical to her previous work.

That said, I read this with an open mond and still did not lile it. Looks like Ms. Maguire is going to be a one hit wonder in the literary world. So sad, sniff sniff. :)

I loved this story! If you can get past the editing errors, it really is a good book.
