<span style="font-size: large;">As you might have seen a few weeks ago, I am unfortunately shutting down <i>A Simple Love of Reading. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the end of October my husband was rushed to a Toronto, ON., hospital for an emergency craniotomy. What initially began as a severe headache quickly took a turn for the worse. There was severe swelling and a blood clot the size of a grapefruit in his brain. The surgery was a complete success, but now we had to find out WHY there was such a severe bleed in his brain. Two weeks later we found out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s cancer. It's stage 4. And it’s not curable. Because there were no outward signs of the disease, the tumors spread and just kept growing. I’m grateful that we found the tumors when we did, because we could have lost him without warning. Now we at least have a few more years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thankfully we live in Canada and have a lot of options when it comes to healthcare. In fact we are on a clinical trial that specifically targets my husband’s type of cancer. And there have even been patients that live up to five years longer than they were originally given. That gives us five more years together as a family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, it is with a heavy heart on the anniversary of when I began <i>A Simple Love of Reading</i>, that I say goodbye to all of my readers here on the blog. My attention needs to be on my family right now, and although blogging doesn’t take up THAT much time in my life…Every moment spent with my husband and our children is now precious to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for being a follower and putting up with me for as long as you have!! Keep reading my friends and know that I’m still around somewhere with a book in my hands too.</span></div>

All they have is each other, as their mentally ill mother comes and goes with greater frequency. Until that one fateful day their mother disappears for good, and two strangers arrive. Suddenly, the girls are taken from the woods and thrust into a bright and perplexing new world of high school, clothes and boys.</i></div>

Carey knows she must keep her sister close, and her secrets even closer, or risk watching her new life come crashing down. </i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Greetings one and all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been a while since I made my last entry on <i>A Simple Love of Reading</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alas, though, as some things begin, so too must they end. And it brings a heavy heart to all that this will officially be my last post on Amy's blog. For some time I have contributed my thoughts, tastes and experiences with the readers here and have had a great time being able to share those with you all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the New Year approaches so too comes a fresh beginning and new chapter in my life. In the New Year, I will be starting my own personal website which will showcase recipes, reviews and more for those who wish to follow my site. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There will be lots of changes in the New Year for us all. As I must leave, so too I know a close friend will follow. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2014 has been a year, for most, to be tragic at times and triumphant for others. We all struggle with events, friends who come and friends who go…family and even changes that affect those around us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We must all remember that despite things that begin and those that end, one thing will always remain...things will go on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I must say my final goodbyes to all readers here and to wish you all a better future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Take care everyone, and remember…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep Moving Forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sincerely,</div>
<br />

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15839984-cruel-beauty?ac=1"><b>Cruel Beauty</b></a> by Rosamund Hodge<br />
<i>Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to change our destiny.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom-all because of a foolish bargain struck by her father. And since birth, she has been in training to kill him.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>With no choice but to fulfill her duty, Nyx resents her family for never trying to save her and hates herself for wanting to escape her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, Nyx abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, destroy his enchanted castle, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle-a shifting maze of magical rooms-enthralls her.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. Even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, how can she refuse her duty to kill him? With time running out, Nyx must decide what is more important: the future of her kingdom, or the man she was never supposed to love.</i><br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava—in all other ways a normal girl—is born with the wings of a bird.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naïve to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the Summer Solstice celebration.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava’s quest and her family’s saga build to a devastating crescendo.</i></div>

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15839976-red-rising?from_choice=true"><b>Red Rising</b></a> by Pierce Brown <br />
<i>The Earth is dying. Darrow is a Red, a miner in the interior of Mars. His mission is to extract enough precious elements to one day tame the surface of the planet and allow humans to live on it. The Reds are humanity's last hope.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Or so it appears, until the day Darrow discovers it's all a lie. That Mars has been habitable - and inhabited - for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down on Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Until the day that Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their command school, intent on taking down his oppressors from the inside. But the command school is a battlefield - and Darrow isn't the only student with an agenda.</i><br />

<b>Book 1: Sea of Shadows</b><br />
<i>In the Forest of the Dead, where the empire’s worst criminals are exiled, twin sisters Moria and Ashyn are charged with a dangerous task. For they are the Keeper and the Seeker, and each year they must quiet the enraged souls of the damned.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Only this year, the souls will not be quieted.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Ambushed and separated by an ancient evil, the sisters’ journey to find each other sends them far from the only home they’ve ever known. Accompanied by a stubborn imperial guard and a dashing condemned thief, the girls cross a once-empty wasteland, now filled with reawakened monsters of legend, as they travel to warn the emperor. But a terrible secret awaits them at court—one that will alter the balance of their world forever. </i><br />

<b>Book 1: Fireborn</b></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>From</i> New York Times <i>bestselling author Keri Arthur comes a brand new series featuring heroine Emberly Pearson—a phoenix capable of taking on human form, and cursed with the ability to foresee death…</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Emberly has spent a good number of her many lives trying to save humans. So when her prophetic dreams reveal the death of Sam, a man she once loved, she does everything in her power to prevent that from happening. But in saving his life, she gets more than she bargained for.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Sam is working undercover for the Paranormal Investigations Team, and those who are trying to murder him are actually humans infected by a plague-like virus, the Crimson Death—a by-product of a failed government experiment that attempted to identify the enzymes that make vampires immortal. Now, all those infected must be eliminated.</i></div>

<i><b>Sorceress: </b>Lucia, adopted at birth into the royal family, discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.</i><br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Plain Kate lives in a world of superstitions and curses, where a song can heal a wound and a shadow can work deep magic. When Kate's village falls on hard times - crops fail, and even Kate's father falls victim to a deadly fever - the townspeople look for someone to blame, and their eyes fall on Kate.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Enter Linay, a stranger with a proposition: In exchange for her shadow, he'll give Kate the means to escape the town that seems set to burn her, and what's more, he'll grant her heart's wish. It's a chance for her to start over, to find a home, a family, a place to belong. But Kate soon realizes that she can't live shadowless forever -- and that Linay's designs are darker than she ever dreamed.</i></div>

<i>An unexpected phone call heralds a new challenge for Mercy. Her mate Adam’s ex-wife is in trouble, on the run from her new boyfriend. Adam isn’t the kind of man to turn away a person in need—and Mercy knows it. But with Christy holed up in Adam’s house, Mercy can’t shake the feeling that something about the situation isn’t right.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Soon, her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that Christy has the farthest thing from good intentions. She wants Adam back and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen, including turning Adam’s pack against Mercy.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Mercy isn’t about to step down without a fight, but there’s a more dangerous threat circling. Christy’s ex is more than a bad man—in fact, he may not be human at all. As the bodies start piling up, Mercy must put her personal troubles aside to face a creature with the power to tear her whole world apart.</i><br />

</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i>Dani “Mega” O’Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she’s one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i>Dani’s ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What’s more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux.</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i>When Dublin’s most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club’s ruthless, immortal owner.

Ward<br />
<i>Trez “Latimer” doesn’t really exist. And not just because the identity was created so that a Shadow could function in the underbelly of the human world. Sold by his parents to the Queen of the S’Hsibe as a child, Trez escaped the Territory and has been a pimp and an enforcer in Caldwell, NY for years- all the while on the run from a destiny of sexual servitude. He’s never had anyone he could totally rely on... except for his brother, iAm.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>iAm’s sole goal has always been to keep his brother from self-destructing- and he knows he’s failed. It’s not until the Chosen Serena enters Trez’s life that the male begins to turn things around... but by then it’s too late. The pledge to mate the Queen’s daughter comes due and there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no negotiating.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Trapped between his heart and a fate he never volunteered for, Trez must decide whether to endanger himself and others- or forever leave behind the female he’s in love with. But then an unimaginable tragedy strikes and changes everything. Staring out over an emotional abyss, Trez must find a reason to go on or risk losing himself and his soul forever. And iAm, in the name of brotherly love, is faced with making the ultimate sacrifice...</i><br />

A key member of the Order—an elite group of warriors charged with protecting both mortals and vampires—Nathan executes each mission with flawless precision and a total lack of mercy. Now he must pursue a powerful, hidden enemy. But Nathan’s hard discipline and training are no match for the fierce pull he feels toward a young woman he has no right to desire—a woman of wealth and high social standing who has long been promised to another Breed male, and who may also prove to be the key to rooting out Nathan’s elusive quarry.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><br />

As much as she tries to deny her deep feelings for Nathan, Jordana cannot resist the craving to be near him, to break through his forbidding walls and see the man he truly is. But getting close to Nathan will thrust Jordana into a treacherous new world, forcing her to risk all she has and all she knows about herself and her past.

<i>After Amelia's best friend and secret crush Matthew dies in an apparent suicide, Amelia is heartbroken. Adding to her upheaval is the realization that she is firmly in the clutches of Matthew's ghost. Even after the barn in which Matthew had died is burnt to the ground, Matthew's spirit continues to stalk the ruins and Amelia must try to take care of his increasingly restless and reckless ghostly acts.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>It's not easy for Amelia to keep Matthew's presence a secret from her two brothers and her grandmother, Joyce. Amelia even tries to keep Matthew's 'survival' from her ghost tracking mentor Morris and his son Kip. But she is harbouring an even bigger secret these days: her deepening feelings for Kip. Unable to reconcile her longing for the flesh-and-blood Kip with her commitment to Matthew's ghost, she's pushed Kip away. Now, he's gone back to school in Chicago, and she can't get him off her mind.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>By the time Amelia and Morris are given a new ghost-tracking challenge, Kip has returned to Grey County for spring break, and long buried sparks are beginning to fly. As the trio set out to uncover the mysterious story behind a local inn that seems to harbour a ghost with a guilty conscience, desperate for forgiveness the mystery only deepens. Before long, a stretch of country road nearby reveals a strange history of its own--a series of fatal car accidents involving deer. Is there a connection between the haunted inn and the deadly stretch of road that it's on?</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>With the rivalry intensifying between Matthew and Kip, Amelia's heart is in more conflict than ever. The ghost Matthew gets ever more comfortable in his phantom skin, which means Kip's headed for trouble, and only Amelia can protect him. </i><br />

<i>Long live the King…</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>After turning his back on the throne for centuries, Wrath, son of Wrath, finally assumed his father’s mantle--with the help of his beloved mate. But the crown sets heavily on his head. As the war with the Lessening Society rages on, and the threat from the Band of Bastards truly hits home, he is forced to make choices that put everything--and everyone--at risk.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>Beth Randall thought she knew what she was getting into when she mated the last pure blooded vampire on the planet: An easy ride was not it. But when she decides she wants a child, she’s unprepared for Wrath’s response--or the distance it creates between them.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>The question is, will true love win out... or tortured legacy take over?</i><br />

Caught between the two warring species, Dimitri has spent centuries hunting the undead to keep his people free, and humans safe. He had survived honorably when others had chosen to give up their souls. But now, marked for extermination by the Lycans, Dimitri found himself alone, and fearing for his life.

Everyone knows Alice slept with two guys at one party.<br />
<br />
But did you know Alice was sexting Brandon when he crashed his car?<br />
<br />
It's true. Ask ANYBODY.<br />
<br />
<i>Rumor has it that Alice Franklin is a slut. It's written all over the bathroom stall at Healy High for everyone to see. And after star quarterback Brandon Fitzsimmons dies in a car accident, the rumors start to spiral out of control.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>In this remarkable debut novel, four Healy High students—the girl who has the infamous party, the car accident survivor, the former best friend, and the boy next door—tell all they know.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> <i>But exactly what is the truth about Alice? In the end there's only one person to ask: Alice herself.</i><br />

<br />

I love Marr’s writing; she has such a unique voice when it comes to storytelling. Her characters are always realistic and came right off the page for me. It was thrilling and creepy with a touch of romance. A slow but steady build of intensity, by the time the villain was revealed I was tearing my fingernails to the quick. <br />

A great story with a thrilling storyline, I enjoyed this book from start to finish. But I did figure out early on the plot and just who each character was and the part they had to play with certain events. I was slightly disappointed that I discovered the villain so early on, but I still found the romantic tension enjoyable and absolutely loved the ending.<br />

The finale to the fun Syrena Legacy, filled with action and romance. Although, like many others I thought the second book had wrapped up Emma and Galen’s story rather well, I loved getting a final farewell. A lot of history is covered in this book which answers any lingering questions from the first two books.<br />

Underneath the southern twang and small town ideals, was an incredible who-done-it mystery. But this was not your ordinary murder-mystery; this book was light and fun with a touch of romance, while still treating the dark subject matter seriously. <br />

I love the Mercy Thompson series and this addition definitely did not disappoint. Readers are given a lot more insight into Mercy’s past and the origins of her shifting abilities. The relationship between Mercy and Adam continues to grow stronger. Adam is one Alpha I’d love to cozy up next to!<br />

I enjoyed the first book of the Darkyn series, and liked this one too, the characters are interesting enough but honestly I found my concentration wandering at times throughout this book. It might have been because it’s been over a year since I read If Angels Burn and I forgot more than I remembered about this world. <br />

Typical to the Carpathian series, a few new characters were introduced and some older ones made reappearances. The romance was fast and furious: classic narrative for this author, but with more than 20 books within the same series, there is bound to be some repetitions.<br />

<b>In the Afterlight</b> by Alexandra Bracken </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Ruby can't look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government's attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. With them is a prisoner: Clancy Gray, son of the president, and one of the few people Ruby has encountered with abilities like hers. Only Ruby has any power over him, and just one slip could lead to Clancy wreaking havoc on their minds. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>They are armed only with a volatile secret: proof of a government conspiracy to cover up the real cause of IAAN, the disease that has killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others like her with powers the government will kill to keep contained. But internal strife may destroy their only chance to free the "rehabilitation camps" housing thousands of other Psi kids.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Meanwhile, reunited with Liam, the boy she would-and did-sacrifice everything for to keep alive, Ruby must face the painful repercussions of having tampered with his memories of her. She turns to Cole, his older brother, to provide the intense training she knows she will need to take down Gray and the government. But Cole has demons of his own, and one fatal mistake may be the spark that sets the world on fire.</i></div>

<b>Son of No One</b> by Sherrilyn Kenyon </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I<i>t’s not easy being life’s own personal joke, but Josette Landry has made an unstable peace with the beast. Life will continue to throw every bad thing it has at her, and she will continue to not put her head in an oven. But that’s okay. That which doesn’t kill her will just require a few hours of mental insanity. Completely down on her luck, Josette takes a job with a local paranormal group trying to get their own cable show as a photographer and camerawoman. Yeah, they’re even crazier than she is. The only paranormal thing she believes in is the miracle that keeps her rusted out hoopty running. But when her group accidentally releases something truly evil into the world, they are forced to call in reinforcement.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>From the moment Josette meets Cadegan, she knows something about him isn’t quite right. And it’s not just because she can’t even begin to pronounce his last name: Maboddimun. Mysterious and armed with lethal sarcasm, he seems a lot older than his apparent age…</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Centuries ago, Cadegan sold his soul for vengeance against the betrayer who cursed him. Forced against his will to do good, he hates everything in life. All he wants is a way out. But for the damned there is only eternal suffering. And yet there is something about Josette that intrigues him as much as it irritates and frustrates him. Something he can’t seem to fight, and the last time he felt this way about a woman, it cost him his soul.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>He knows he has to stay away from her, but the evil her friends unleashed is hellbent on consuming her soul. Something he cannot allow. If one more innocent is taken, he will be sent back to an unimaginable prison that makes his current hell look like paradise. But how can he keep her safe when his being with her is the greatest threat of all?</i></div>

<b>Black Ice</b> by Becca Fitzpatrick <br />
<i>Sometimes danger is hard to see... until it’s too late. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Britt Pfeiffer has trained to backpack the Teton Range, but she isn't prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin, accepting the hospitality of its two very handsome occupants—but these men are fugitives, and they take her hostage. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. The task is made even more complicated when Britt finds chilling evidence of a series of murders that have taken place there... and in uncovering this, she may become the killer’s next target. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>But nothing is as it seems in the mountains, and everyone is keeping secrets, including Mason, one of her kidnappers. His kindness is confusing Britt. Is he an enemy? Or an ally?</i><br />

<b>The Queen of Zombie Hearts</b> by Gena Showalter <br />
<i>I have a plan. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We'll either destroy them for good, or they'll destroy us. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Either way, only one of us is walking away. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In the stunning conclusion to the wildly popular White Rabbit Chronicles, Alice "Ali" Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers…until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters…and the worst has only begun. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>As the surviving slayers prepare for war, Ali discovers she, too, can control the zombies…and she isn't the girl she thought she was. She's connected to the woman responsible for killing—and turning—Cole's mother. How can their relationship endure? As secrets come to light, and more slayers are taken or killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima—even sacrificing her own life for those she loves.</i><br />

<b>A Thousand Pieces of You </b>by Claudia Gray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Release Date: </b>November 4, 2014 by Harper Teen</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space- and time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.</i></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
