Vala: Agendas was written in quite impressive depth and stunning details which captured my imagination. At some point, I thought I was reading a much mystical version of X:Men, but without much action and suspense. The story itself mostly revolved around Cheyenne’s conflicting relationship with the boys around her. One minute she likes this guy, the next she likes the other which was rather irritating. But Cheyenne was likable and I could relate to her every emotion in some way or the other. So I’m guessing at the end this saga, there would be betrayal, heartbreak and hopefully a happy-ending for Cheyenne. All in all, what J.F Jenkins brought to the table with Vala: Agendas isn’t enough to blow me away. The book isn’t bad either, but some parts just didn’t appeal to me.

I think there were some minor plot issues in this book but over all, for a new author, this was a great book. A young girl is bitten, not involuntarily, by a boy outside a club and her life is never the same. She finds out that the world is so much bigger than she ever imagined and she is much more than she thought.
I was a bit disappointed in the ending and I wish all the loose ends and questions had been handled, but I suspect there is a sequel out there somewhere.

I loved this story about Cheyenne's journey to discover who she is and where she comes from. The people she encounters at Vala are such interesting characters with unusual powers. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next!

I was a little apprehensive about reading Agendas, a book about a girl who talks to flowers? But I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading and fell in love with the characters!
Agendas reminds me of every good thing in the House Of Night Series; which I love. Right from the start you are given intrigue, betrayal and romance. Agendas isn't simply about a girl who talks to flowers, it's about a girl who is thrust into a society of the gods. I don't trust Halyn, I', half in love with Denver, Zes is to good to be true, Jewel is the frienemy, Anj is a mystery and Lucien makes my skin crawl! Cheyenne's character is very well developed and lovable (which is so much better than likable) I can't wait for the next Vala book and the continuation of Cheyenne's story. My only complaint about Agendas is that Cheyenne is so unforgiving of her foster mother, who has done nothing but love and protect her; yet she is unconditionally forgiving of her birth parents who basically abandoned her to the human race for her 'protection'. Even with this complaint (which is strictly personal) I adored Agendas, the first installment of the Vala Series and Cheyenne's story, WELL DONE J.F. Jenkins!
