Review: Unraveling (Unraveling #1) by Elizabeth Norris

Unraveling (Unraveling #1)
by Elizabeth Norris

Two days before the start of her junior year, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed--as in blinding light, scenes of her life flashing before her, and then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she's opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And even though it isn't possible, she knows--with every fiber of her being--that Ben has somehow brought her back to life.
But her revival, and Ben's possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles that Janelle must solve. While snooping in her FBI agent father's files for clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down to something--but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can no longer deny what's right in front of her: Everything that's happened--the accident, the murder, the countdown clock, Ben's sudden appearance in her life--points to the end of life as she knows it. And as the clock ticks down, she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she's going to need to uncover Ben's secrets--and keep from falling in love with him in the process.
From debut author Elizabeth Norris comes this shattering novel of one girl's fight to save herself, her world, and the boy she never saw coming.

"Life is a fragile thing. Apparently the whole world is fragile too." 

One word: PHENOMENAL!

This book was everything I could have possibly wanted in a book! From the first to the last past, I couldn't stop reading. The characters, the plot, the romance.

"When the zipper snaps open, Ben pauses, his breath hot in my ear. "Janelle Tenner," he whispers. "I fucking love you." 

It was fantastic! I was instantly drown in from the beginning.

The main character: Janelle, is the type of MC I love to read about, she was independent, sarcastic,and confident. I loved Ben Michaels, in the beginning of the book he comes off with that typical mysterious bad boy image, that no matter how many times I read about it, It never gets old. But that changes soon in the book. He does have his secrets, so he does have that mysterious vibe, but he is far from being the 'bad boy'.
I do like my bad boys but I prefer the nice guys, and Ben was an amazing character! He is probably one of my top five favorite male characters I've read this year!

Another thing I loved about this book was Alex, he was Janelle's best friend. And I love guy/girls best friends when It's nothing romantic! So no love triangle with Alex! There is a bit of a love triangle
in the beginning of the book with another boy, but It doesn't last long, I wouldn't ever call it a love triangle really. When Janelle realizes she has feelings for someone else (Ben) she breaks it off.
Which is one of the things that surprised me in this book, usually there's a pointless love triangle just to make the story more interesting. But this book doesn't need that, it's an incredible, interesting story without pointless love triangles! But back to Alex I LOVED him! This book was just filled with amazing characters!

This book was filled with action and twist and turns. The ending wasn't anything surprising, it was an expected ending. Although I am pissed off about one of the characters death. Which is why I am giving this 4 stars in stead of 5.

This was an emotional roller coaster I would gladly read again! Definitely recommend!
