The Deep
The Island #3
by Jen Minkman
Goodreads blurb:
‘The world is never-ending.
I never realized just how much space there is – how far and wide the water around our island stretches out. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I may have believed that a second Wall ran around Tresco, containing the infinite waters so we wouldn’t all wash over the edge and plummet down into the depths.’
Leia and Walt are on their way to the Other Side, where the legendary land of Cornwall awaits them. Tony, their new friend, has told them that all wars of the past have been forgotten and the citizens of Bodmin and Dartmoor live in peace. People adhere to the tenets of an old religion that preaches forgiveness and non-violence.
However, Walt and Leia soon discover that even a peace-loving, ideal society like this one may have its flaws. While on a forbidden trip to Exeter, the old city of their ancestors, the two Islanders discover more about the new world than they ever bargained for.
Secrets run dark and passions run deep in this thrilling conclusion to the Island novella series

About the Author: Jen Minkman (1978) was born in Holland, in the
town of Alphen aan den Rijn. When she was 19, she moved between The Hague,
Salzburg (Austria), Brussels (Belgium) and Cambridge (UK) to complete her
studies in intercultural communication. She is currently a teacher of English
and Dutch at a secondary school in The Hague, Holland. She tries to read at
least 100 books a year (and write a few, too!). She is a published author in
her own country, and translates her own books from Dutch into English for
self-publication.
In her spare time, she plays the piano, the guitar and the violin. For every novel she writes, she creates a soundtrack.
'I have always been drawn to writing. My first book was a sci-fi novel at the age of eight, which I painstakingly typed out on my dad's typewriter and illustrated myself. Nowadays, I stick to poetry, paranormal romance, chicklit and/or fantasy. In my home country, I am the first-ever published writer of paranormal romance, and I will gradually make my books also available in English (seeing I have to re-write and translate the books myself, this will take some time!).

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5
Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***Received the trilogy ebook via
Story Cartel for an honest review
The
cover is beautiful with Alisa on the front :)
This
book was longer and definitely had more action :) I think for me this was the best of the
trilogy. It did still have a few parts
that were a little slow for me, but I’m pretty sure this was just me because I
do not usually read books that resemble real life this much :)
Jen’s
writing style is great with her descriptions and makes it seem like all of this
could really happen.
Now
I’m torn because I don’t know who I like better Leia or Alisa. Their strength and beliefs are amazing
considering they grew up in completely different environments. Saul & Ben really grow on you too in this
story. This book definitely had an
emotional rollercoaster going.
I
recommend this series to YA fans of dystopian societies that could be a
possible real world in the future.
Interested in reading???
