Juls Review -   A world divided.  One rules and another wants to conquer.   

Charlotte's world falls apart the day she meets Roman.  He takes everything from her but also he discovers her secret.  A secret she and her family have kept but is now in the hands of the enemy.
Charlotte is no more and in place is a secret weapon that is known as Dinah or X.  She has is a weapon in a war that she wants no part in but has no choice.  After 5 years its become the norm and she is just numb to all the horror.

Ludwig, a man on a mission, isnt getting what he wants from Dinah so he lets her loose among the lowers.  He wants Dinah to infiltrate into the rebels lair and get the information that will give him the upper hand.  But it all backfires.  Dinah finds something she never thought could be possible, Love.   
The future looks bleak and the last thing Dinah needs or wants is a man to complicate her life but there's Pete.  Bigger than life and she cant help but get sucked into his charisma.  Pete isnt blind either.   He sees what no one else does and with every look exchanged between the two their attraction flourishes and before long they are fraternizing with the enemy.

There's so much going on behind the scenes and its too late before anyone can make the right decisions.  Lives are at risk and trust is broken.  Who can they trust and will they survive the cruelty?  
There is still so much more to be revealed and I cant wait for the next installment to find those answers to all the questions I have.
  
If you are a fan of Ms Stadler's Eden series you wont be disappointed with Switch.  You get her imagination of the world she creates , along with her sensual look at the love that blossoms between Pete and Charlotte.  

A great read that will leave you craving for more.

Eden

Trapped within the cruel world of hormones and bullies, fifteen-year-old Aiden is convinced life has more to offer him. His instincts are proven correct on the night he is awakened by a voice calling to him from outside his window. As he sleepily peers into his yard, his eyes slowly focus on a woman who says she is there to take him to Eden. Aiden is about to fulfill the life purpose he never knew he had.

It is in Eden, a land on the brink of war, where Aiden will finally learn to trust himself and those around him. Accompanied by Wolf, his sidekick Logan, and the beautiful archer, Elisa, Aiden is soon thrust into a battle to save Eden. Meanwhile Elisa, the only girl in the King's Army, is in the midst of her own struggles. Betrothed to a man she has no intention of marrying, Elisa is caught between the need to prove herself and her desire for true happiness. And now that she has met Aiden, she is more confused than ever.

In this action-packed fantasy tale, romance, adventure, and intrigue surround Aiden as he learns just what he is capable of when he discovers confidence and courage.

Eden West

New beginnings, new conflicts, and new adventures arise in the second installment of the Eden Series, Eden-West. 
Months after his initial journey to Eden, Aiden is learning to cope with his own transformation. His social status has changed, his friendship with his best friend Ethan is in jeopardy because of it, and worst of all, he has heard absolutely nothing from his new friends in Eden. What has become of the world he fell in love with? Are his friends safe? Is the war over? With no answers, and no hope for contact, Aiden decides to focus on his life in his world. Just as he makes this decision, he encounters a familiar bright light and thinks he knows exactly what it means. Except the light isn't at all what he expects and neither is the person behind it. When Aiden returns to Eden, it is to a whole new part of that special world, and a whole new set of adventures. 
Weeks after Aiden was returned to his own world, Elisa is sent to Nysa, the revered Southern city, to retrieve the one thing she'd rather avoid - Wolf. Captain Turk instructed her to get in and get out - but that is easier said than done. When she finds her missing friend, she also stumbles upon a great deal of trouble. This trouble goes by one name - Markus, the leader of the Sun People.

Rain has made her choice, and now she is in some unknown fortress with the feared sorcerer, Aziz. She wants nothing more but to please him, but being his Queen isn’t as easy as she thought.
