It’s been five years since his twin brother
Trent was killed and Tyler has been on his own ever since. When he stumbles
across Heidi, a human from the other world who’s just crossed over, he vows to
get her home against his better judgment. What he doesn’t realize is that to
keep his promise, he’ll have to risk his life and the one thing he’s managed to
keep to himself since the war… his heart. Still, a promise is a promise and
Tyler doesn’t break his. After facing human rogues, packs of Majs, and
Zerpanays, he’ll have to decide… can he bear to let go of the one thing that’s
managed to bring him back to life? Will he ever be able to bear going home?
Tyler's Story is Mireille Chester's YA
debut in the world of Quelondain where shapshifters are the norm and magic is
everywhere.
My take...
When I first started Tyler's Story I was a
little lost...not really understanding alot of what was happening. But soon,
when Heidi was introduced, everything fell into place and I couldn't stop
reading. It was so good. I love how
Chester writes...she pulls the reader into the story. The reader feels
everything the characters are experiencing and I couldn't get enough of them.
If you have read Chester’s Chosen One
series you may notice a couple names get thrown around. (Hayden, Jasper) I
haven’t yet, but this book is kind of a spinoff from that series. You will
notice that Tyler is the nephew of Hayden, who was the main character in the
Chosen One series. I really look forward to reading that series now. So that
also probably explains why I was a little lost at the beginning of this story.
And that ending!?! It was so perfectly
executed. I was so happy how it all went down. Just when you think everything
is going to work out one way, Chester flip flops on you and says, ‘uh uh, I
have something else in mind’. After reading her book, Chael’s Luck, I have come
to learn that Chester is all about surprises in her stories. So the ending
really shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did. And I was grinning ear to ear
when it was all said and done.
Fans of supernatural genres will especially
love this one due to the shifters in the story. But I also love that there is
the human world and the shifter world. So people who enjoy reading about
different dimensions on earth will get a kick out of this one. Great job
Chester on giving us a great story that anyone would want to read.
