Reborn Jennifer Rush Books

Reborn moves away from Anna as a central character in the Altered series and instead focuses on Nick. This gives the story a grittier feel than the previous books in the series and allows readers a better understanding of what makes the irritable and often volatile Nick tick. I have always found Nick to be a fascinating character because he always seemed so angry and distant, and yet there would be times where his actions would show that there was a compassionate and deeper person underneath the anger. Unfortunately, because of all of the genetic manipulation that has taken place because of the Branch's action, even Nick isn't sure if he has any amount of true humanity inside himself. This is a story of Nick coming to understand a little better who he truly is.

In order for Nick to grow in this story he moves away from his "family" of friends and goes on his own to try and discover a girl he rescued from the Branch six years earlier. That girl is Elizabeth, and her first person narration alternates with Nick's throughout the story. Elizabeth is also unsure of who she is. Although her memories, unlike Nick's, remained largely intact, her understanding of exactly what was going on as she was held captive by the Branch is flawed. Things begin to sloooooooowly become clearer once Nick arrives and gets to know her a little.

My thoughts on the story:

One of the things that I really loved about the first books in this series is the action and intrigue that surrounded Anna, Sam, Nick, Cas, and Trev. It was never truly clear what was going on, who to trust, and where the next danger was. That always kept me on my toes as a reader, driving me to continue reading all day, but never allowing me to feel comfortable with the situations in the book. I always felt like something was getting ready to fall apart around the next corner. That was exciting, and I LOVED reading these stories. Sure, there was a good dose of romantic potential between Anna and Sam, but that did not really dominate the story. The story was about the evil Branch and these five (and sometimes four) kids' attempts to thwart it.

This story moves away from the sense of danger and unrest that dominated the last books. Sure, it is there, but it doesn't really start to get unsettling until the last third of the book. The first two-thirds reads more like the beginning stages of a romance. The relationship between Elizabeth and Nick dominates the story. That is not to say that these two immediately become a couple or even that they spend every chapter pining for each other. It is just that everything seems almost too calm and too routine. I think this would have been a five star read for me if there was more of a sense of unease in the first two thirds of the story.

I loved the character of Nick. He is just as irritable as always, and throughout the story he doesn't completely lose his edge. But it was nice to see the beginning of his realization that he was not all anger and assassin. He had a heart, and he could choose to follow it occasionally. I almost wish that less time had been spent in Elizabeth's head and more time spent in Nick's. He was definitely the most interesting character of this story.

Elizabeth made an okay heroine for this story, but she was a bit too weak in comparison to other characters of the series. I think that in time she could grow stronger, but in this story she didn't have the grit to match Nick's edginess. She made for an excellent person for Nick to showcase his softer side, but that was about it. I think that there were some freaky things about her past that would have been really interesting to dissect, but those weren't revealed until the book was almost over, and no time was spent on Elizabeth processing through the new revelations about the people she had loved for so long.

Once again, Jennifer Rush, has created excellent secondary characters. The best, by far, was Chloe. Chloe, we hardly knew you, and then you left!!! I want to know lots more about this girl. Lots more. Anna, Sam, and Cas make some appearances in this story, but my favorite of the group to return to the forefront was Trev. I have always loved this character, and I have always felt like he would redeem himself from his deception in the earlier books. His presence in this book was wonderful, especially as he interacted with Nick. I wanted to see more from him.

Is this series over? I thought that it was, but events at the end of the story make it appear as if there is still more story to tell. We shall see. For now, I am satisfied with this latest entry in the Altered universe. It didn't quite match the first two books in the series, but it was still an enjoyable and action packed addition. Four stars!

Reborn Jennifer Rush Books Reviews

If you like adventure, mystery, romance, and a little sci-fi then this book is for you. You get sucked right in on the first page.
This was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! It's been a minute since I read a truly great book and this just did it for me all the way. Everyone should have a Nick of their own.
They just keep getting better. I'm in love with these stories. These are great books start with the first one though.
Jennifer Rush has done it again. The characters come to life with strong emotions and actions. Will these people ever have a normal life? Not with Riley and the Branch still out there. Besides if they did then we wouldn't have the opportunity to escape to the world that Jennifer Rush has created. Jennifer please keep writing so that we can enjoy these characters and their next adventure.
I really liked that the book was written from Nick's viewpoint, but I wasn't overly thrilled that they included the viewpoint of a new character altogether. It didn't really give much closer in regards to them taking down Riley or anything either. Hoping there will be another book to wrap everything up.
The first two books in the Altered series were fairly mediocre, but Reborn was wonderful. I loved Jennifer Rush's decision to switch the perspective to Nick. He was a fascinating and dynamic character that made for a gripping read. Reborn also included the introduction of a thrilling new character. The plot line was fast moving and I couldn't put it down!
To be honest, this disappointed me. The story just did not go the route I had hoped. I'm trying not to penalize the author for not writing the story I wanted, but its hard, especially because I felt like she took my favorite character and made him into someone else for a while...I think the fact that the characters were separated for a large part of this also bothered me...it was missing something the previous one had..I will continue the series, but I'll probably wait until I can borrow the book from the library, $9.99 is a lot to pay to be disappointed
