Representaion To Books The Pace (The Pace #1)
Goodreads Book give-away winner!The Pace by Shelena Shorts is a great read that’s full of suspense and constant action. The book does a great job of keeping the reader engaged because just when you think you’ve figured out the details, the novel turns and brings to light a whole new angle to the story, which keeps you captivated the whole way through.
I enjoyed this novel for several reasons. One, the two main characters, Sophie and Wes, are well developed and extremely likeable. As a reader, I was drawn into their lives immediately, and came to care for what happens to them from the onset and throughout the story. Second, I liked the narrative and Point of View (POV) of the story, which was in Sophie’s perspective. She is considerate, smart, sincere, yet emotionally vulnerable. Third, I like how the back-story revealed itself slowly throughout the novel as the details became important in the storyline. Overall, Shelena Shorts pulled together an intriguing plot and wrapped it around carefully created characters, a well chosen setting and angled it in a perspective that keeps the reader drawn to the events from beginning to end.
Sophie, age 18, is in her senior year in High School. She’s chosen to complete her final year through an online program, as her and her mom have moved around the states several times, which has made it difficult for Sophie to acclimate to the school setting. Sophie and her mom meet every Thursday for lunch at Berkeley University, where her mom works as a medical technician.
One fateful day as Sophie is leaving the school, she crashes her car into a guy named Wes who is a 19 year old student at the university. Wes is not your normal guy. His past is filled with mysterious events that Sophie can’t quite seem to figure out, but his gentle and caring ways has her falling head over heels for him none-the-less. As they develop a love for one another, they realize that fate has played a hand in bringing them together, and it’s not their first encounter. They struggle to understand how they can come to grips with that past and the events that have changed Wes’ life forever.
I enjoyed the book and the ending left me craving for more. I look forward to Shelena Shorts’ sequel to The Pace, The Broken Lake, as I can’t wait to see how Wes and Sophie’s journey continues.

This wasn't exactly what I was expecting when I started reading it. So here's the negative first... At first I thought "Oh great, another Twilight knock off." I am seriously getting tired of reading books that describe boys as beautiful. Yet again the guy in this book is too perfect and of course, rich and immortal. And just like Edward was afraid of hurting Bella, there is even a reason that Sophie and Wes cannot consummate their relationship. As I continued to read I started to realize thereThis review is also posted on my blog, In The Good Books.Weston is a one-of-a-kind immortal, thanks to an experimental blood transfusion. Sophie is an anti-social online student. The unlikely pairs' worlds will collide - literally - when she crashes her car into his.After she finds out about his nature, she thinks things can't get any weirder, but that's until she realises that she belongs in his world.The Pace never really hit the spot, for me. I've read rave reviews for this semi-obscure book,
Living in Canada, this book as not been released here and Shelena-the sweetheart that she is- kindly sent me a copy of this Amazing novel!Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story!!!THE PACE is a gorgeously written story about a couple who's lives intertwined through out time.Not only is this story about immortality, it's about reincarnation and how true love can never die!I can't say I've read to many books about immorality but I never expected this mind boggling plot! I was
Loved it!!! This story is a beautiful blend of mystery, suspense and romance.It didn't take me long to get caught up in this book. Sophie was all the things you look for in a main character strong, loyal and down to earth and Wes he was of course gorgeous and mysterious. Their romance was the main focus of the book and it is an incredible love story, a love that seems doomed. The paranormal aspect of the story is interesting and has a unique take on immortality. The ending of course left me
The Pace by Shelena Shorts is a YA book, written through the first person perspective of Sophie. Sophie is an 18 year old homeschooled girl who falls in love rather quickly with a 19 year old named Weston. Weston has everything a girl could ask for, he's nice, smart, rich, and easy on the eyes. However, Weston has a secret.Read the rest of my review here
The author must have gotten some writing tips from Stephenie Meyer, because this book really reads exactly like Twilight. Sophie and Weston meet and fall in love, he shares his secrets, and then the plot is tacked on as sort of an afterthought. Weston is very similar to Edward. Why do authors feel the need to write about "perfect" rich boys with impeccable manners and virtually no defining characteristics, as if that's interesting in any way? Moreover, the writing, while it probably could have
s she starts her final year in high school, Sophie expected a pretty monotone year, that is, until she crashes into Weston's car. Despite his enigmatic personality, Sophie is drawn to him. She finds out that being around Wes is not easy, especially since he is a scientifically made immortal. There really isn't much to say about this book, because honestly, I still don't know what it's about. I don't understand how a book could have a character outside of the plot. It's just... why create that
