Controlling your LIfeline (Teaser! Book 1)

Silent Night is a very lightly Christmas-themed sequel to the original Lifeline though, mercifully, it has no important connection with the disappointing Lifeline 2. In it, Taylor, the gender-nonspecific protagonist of the original game, has gotten into trouble aboard the ship home after the events of Lifeline. There are structural changes, too.

Silver Heart

Taylor is no longer completely on her own. This is kind of cool, from a feelie perspective, and helps sell the idea of the ship as a particular place.

For one thing, the game frequently has Taylor making long trips through solitary corridors. On the schematic map, all the rooms are directly connected to one another, wasting no time with intervening space. Silent Night is not like Mayday: Deep Space , where you have to steer the protagonist past antagonists that you can see on the schematic plan. But the story, while melancholy throughout, does end on a happy, hopeful note.

Lucas and Gabriel were online friends when they were They wrote to each other about anything and everything and make a pact to meet at LA when they turned However, Gabriel disappeared off the radar and Lucas has lost his best friend ever since.

Although the story touch on Gabriel's depression, is not really the main focus of the story. Their reunion after the 5 years gap, shows that each man still struggling to achieve their dreams and reconciliating the fact that they have lost so much. They are tip toeing around each other and unsure how to move forward in their friendship. The pacing is on the slower side and deals with a ton of inner demons. I also find the constant reference to Lucas past and his failure a tad repetitive. Apart from that, I like the underlying message of the story and how Gabe's issue is being handled.

I wish both Luke and Gabe can one day achieve their dreams together. Maybe someday I'll be standing on the roof of one of your skyscrapers. And you'll be passenger on one of my planes. Someday we'll fly high.

May 24, Heather K dentist in my spare time marked it as to-read Shelves: AND get the rest of the series for the same price! Feb 17, Elsa Bravante rated it really liked it Shelves: Oct 29, Janie rated it really liked it Shelves: I liked it but didn't love it. I liked both MCs but something was just missing for me. I never totally felt the connection between Luke and Gabe. Then the ending was a bit abrupt for me. When it ended I was still trying to flip pages looking for more. There's no epilogue, which I understand not every book will have but I know we will see more of them in the next book so I guess we can get more of their story there.

I love my epilogues though, just sayin'.

I will try more of this ser 3. I will try more of this series though. I'm looking forward to Conner's story. Feb 24, Elsbeth rated it really liked it Shelves: BR with Momo Review to follow. Nov 09, Dani rated it liked it Shelves: Touch the sky is the first book from Christina Lee that I managed to finish. It was entertaining, sweet and fast paced , a thing that I appreciated at the moment. The story was interesting and flows directly to the point without any unnecessary drama.

Lucas and Gabriel met through a chatroom when they were young and as the blurb says, they became each other lifeline until Gabe stops answering his emails. Five years later, they see each other for the very first time at the bar where Lucas works and Touch the sky is the first book from Christina Lee that I managed to finish.

Five years later, they see each other for the very first time at the bar where Lucas works and things are strained between each other, especially from Lucas who holds a grudge towards Gabe because he feels abandoned by him. The thing is these kids had some pretty heavy baggage and after they open up to each other, they realize there is more to the story than they let on. One of my few niggles about the story was that Gabe is bipolar, I don't have any problem with him being bipolar, what bugged me the most was the way the authors approach Gabe's illness. I've read books with this illness and I guess I was expecting something a bit more developed, I don't know, I didn't actually feel his illness.

Besides, I felt that the writing lacks energy. It's simple and repetitive that hovered on the edge of being obnoxious. To not make this longer than necessary, I enjoyed what I read. Do I wish some things worked up in a different way? This is a story that was so full of potential that IMO the authors didn't know how to exploit. But if I disregard that, I can say that Lucas and Gabe's relationship was sweet, hot and I liked seeing how they brought down each other walls and become friends and then lovers. View all 9 comments. Feb 19, Felice Stevens rated it it was amazing. A beautiful and heart wrenching love story.

You'll fall in love with Lucas and Gabe from the first page.

See a Problem?

Touch the Sky is a story that douses readers to FEEL the vulnerability, sadness, love, truth and passion. The biggest magnetic pull for me was how Ms. Dawn were able to tackle the sensitive Copy provided by author in exchange for an honest review Christina Lee and Nyrae Dawn have teamed up to deliver a touching, heartfelt story that was brimming with so much raw emotions, hope and healing. Dawn were able to tackle the sensitive subject of mental health with such grace by allowing readers to see beyond the flaws and imperfection.

Together Lucas and Gabe complimented one another as they embarked on a journey from friends to lovers. Though this book did not give the happily ever after ending but it did give you the happily for now which I think was fitting for these two.

Until Friday Night (The Field Party, #1) by Abbi Glines

It allowed readers like myself to believe in the power of hope and healing. Nothing in life is easy or an instant fix and so Ms. Dawn captured this sentiment beautifully. So if you are looking for a thought provoking romance that tackles a sensitive subject with raw honesty and love then I urge you to read Touch the Sky.

One change encou 4. One change encounter and one punch later they talk and Gabriel explains what happened, he has bipolar dysorder and 5 years ago everything exploded. They start friendship again and their feelings for each other grow fast there's only one thing. I loved both characters and I loved the story, it was beautiful and it wasn't overly angsty. Lucas was so strong and I loved how both characters had their own stories, the book wasn't solely focused on Gabriel and they both had things to overcome to finally start a new happy life.

I love the epilogue, it gives you hope. I can't wait for book two! I hope we see a little bit more of these guys in Conner's book. View all 7 comments. Oct 11, Meags rated it really liked it Shelves: I would call this story angsty - in a powerfully evocative way that continually made my heart ache, but which ultimately left me feeling hopeful and so very satisfied. The story deals with forms of mental illness, and although hard to read at times, it was expressed carefully, honestly, and, I believe, positively.

It was more life affirming, than depressing and I loved the way the entire story was handled. The authors should be proud of the poignant story they created here. I look forward to reading more stories within this series. Feb 24, Tess rated it really liked it Shelves: I've never read Christina Lee before, but I've read a number of Nyrae Dawn books and this has the same feel and writing style which I enjoy.

The romance was very well done and actually better than I expected from the blurb. I probably didn't read the blurb properly but I hadn't realized the two boys hadn't met five years ago - they only had an online friendship - which was a little different. Mental illness is a big issue in this one and I thought it was handled wel 4. Mental illness is a big issue in this one and I thought it was handled well while, at the same time, not being too dark and angsty. What I liked the most was a theme that emerged near the end - that Gabriel needed to learn to be strong on his own, to be his own saviour.

It makes me feel so much more confident in their future and HEA. May 12, Nichole DirrtyH marked it as abandoned Shelves: Once the initial conflict is resolved, which happens pretty early, it's like I just wasn't interested in what happened after that. The writing is too over-the-top for me. Like, everything isn't the biggest deal ever, you know?

I need to stay away from Nyrae Dawn. I read one YA book by her a couple years ago that I really enjoyed so I keep thinking "maybe this one will be better" but everything I've read by her since that first one has been disappointing. Oct 16, YullSanna added it. Feb 25, Carolien rated it liked it Shelves: I was really looking forward to this emotional story but I hate to say it disappointed me.

Maybe it's me, not you but I had a hard time getting Lucas and Gabriel a seperate voice in my head. I was constantly thinking in which head I was and I'm not sure why. Also, the emotional tug I didn't feel it. Better luck next time! Apr 03, Santy rated it liked it Shelves: I liked everything about this book Lucas and Gabriel were great. I really got an insight into living with mental illness and what it means to have someone there for you as you go through it.
