#BookReview of Chasing Before by @lenoreva

About the Book: 

“I’m a ticking time bomb. And one day soon everything is going to explode.”

Felicia and Neil have arrived in Level 3 and are supposed to prepare for their divine vocations.

But during Felicia and Neil's training period, a series of explosions rips through Level 3. Tension is high, and casualties are mounting. A rift forms between the pair, one that grows wider when Felicia receives memories from the Morati. The memories cast doubt on the people she loves the most, but Felicia can't stop her curiosity. She has to know the truth about her life – even if it means putting at risk everything she’s worked for in her death.

About the Author: Thanks to her father's job in the US military, Lenore Appelhans became addicted to travel early. To date, she's visited nearly 60 countries and has stepped on every contintent except Antartica. She currently lives in Frankfurt, Germany with her husband and three fancy Birman cats. 

Her novel, The Memory of After (published as Level 2 in hardcover by Simon & Schuster BFYR) is "immensely layered" (VOYA) and "a gripping debut" (NYT Bestselling Author Megan McCafferty). It has been optioned for film by CBS and sold rights in 5 additional territories. The second book in The Memory Chronicles, Chasing Before, is due summer 2014. She has been blogging about books at Presenting Lenore (http://presentinglenore.blogspot.com) since 2008.

My Review: I was absolutely dying to read Chasing Before because I am a huge fan of Memory Of After. Though it was very different from the previous book. I've been waiting on this book for a while and it was so exciting to finally get to read it. I love books about angels, but this went a different way than my usual angel reads. I remember really loving the relationship between Felicia and Neil in the first book, but I was constantly annoyed by Neil in this one. He did not treat her very well at all. I was still rooting for them though. I don't think we've seen the last of the Morati and I really hope that we haven't seen the last of Felicia and everyone.
