Book Description:

Making a deal with the bad guys wasn’t the highlight of Rena Collins’ semester, but, hey, it saved her boyfriend. Now, in order to appease the human-altering organization known as ERA, she’ll crawl under their microscope while they study the Mark of Nexus and plot their eye-glazed version of the future—until she realizes that’s not all they’re plotting.
Wallace Blake has always known his girlfriend is unlike most girls. But now that information has surfaced regarding the two bloodlines that balance his supernatural race, he finally understands why. Rena belongs to one of them. She’s been augmenting his power, all along...
Enter: Corynn Catley. Brought into the country under the guise of an internship, she’s intended to become ERA’s secret weapon. Kind of. Her abilities cancel out Wallace’s, rendering him powerless, but that’s exactly what he’s always wanted. Too bad it only works when his girlfriend’s not around.
All the while, Rena fails to notice the crush her geeky best friend, Aiden Ross, is nursing. He’d give anything for her to see him in a new light—even reinvent himself through questionable means—but there’s a reason people are told to be careful what they wish for. Finding the courage to tell her could put everyone’s lives in danger.

Strength (Mark of Nexus, #1) by Carrie Butler

 

 Book Summary: 

  When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn't look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period. 

 Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation--and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…

 Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.

 They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do--even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.

*** I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ***

 Let me start by expressing how grateful I am for having the chance to read Strength for free~ which by the way is totally worth buying! After reading Strength I was like~

 

 Strength is a very fun, refreshing, enjoyable read. I feel so good while and after reading it. I am definitely adding it in my to-re-read and favorites bookshelves.

 

 No dull moments! Rena Collins is one hilarious heroine, I loved her!!

  I ended bitching out the whole class. That was the week my professor suggested I try independent studies. 

  it's the only socially acceptable way to indulge in my love of hitting things. Not that I should admit that.

I really liked Wallace ~ he's every woman's dream..HOT.GOOD and sometimes aloof..makes you all want him more nyahaha

   

but surprisingly I love Rena more than Wallace. I love how strong-willed she is, she makes me laugh even in the most panic-filled situation...gawd I love the way she thinks :) but let's not forget the equally hot twin~ Cole, the lovable jerk...I want someone for him too..perhaps me?

 

 I loved how this first book ended..not a cliffhanger that will make us all cray cray but enough to be excited..sooo excited for the next book..I'm totally ready to read the second book like..now?

 

I'm giving Strength 6/5 stars. It made me so happy I'm puking rainbows and unicorn right now.

   

 Will I recommend it? Absolutely.
