Review: Ethereal Fury (Gemini Rising #1) by Jessice O'Gorek

Goodreads Synopsis
BEWARE! THE PLANET IS WOUNDED... THE GEMINI ARE RISING AND OUR TIME ON EARTH IS LIMITED

Angry at the human race and its methodical destruction of her resources, Mother Earth recruits souls who have just left their bodies to serve Her, and turns them against humanity. Gemini, a clan of paranormal beings, picked from these possessed humans, emerges. A powerful, rising force proceeds to carry out Mother Nature’s plan to systematically destroy towns, cities, states… and eventually, the world. Amidst the chaos, a forbidden relationship between a human girl, Violette, and Onyx, a lead Gemini, begins. They will both find themselves in the middle of a revolutionary war that will either save, or destroy our world.


*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This review is also available on Goodreads*

To start with, I wasn't hooked. The first few chapters seemed to have no relevance to the actual main part of the book. As I got to the end, I realized the significance of chapter 2, but still the very beginning got me confused, as it seemed off topic and just, out of place. I know it contained key info, but I just wasn't hooked. 

Also, insta-love? Seriously? 

The religious aspect was strong, and I think it was sometimes unnecessarily strong. In parts, I felt like Christianity was being shoved in my face, but it was worth it because some of it was essential to the plot. 

Violette was cool. I like her. Although she sometimes doesn't act her age, who does? Let's be honest. I never act my age, so I sympathize with that. 

Overall, it was an OK read.
