Emergence (Edens Root Trilogy Book 3)

---

She finally stands up on her own and takes charge of what she deserves in her relationship with Jake and the overall secret police operation. I loved this third book so much! Firstly the author did an amazing job in this final installment; she did great justification to the characters. I loved these two together.

Their erotic bond is unique, abundant of passion, heat and ecstacy! All the final pieces of the puzzle finally come together and we get a really great epilogue which makes all the waiting and all the guessing games, worthwhile. This is one of my favorite series of all time. It's sexy, smart, suspenseful and mysterious.

Call me addicted, but I need this one Dec 23, Irida rated it it was amazing Shelves: This was the last book of the Eden Trilogy and it was very well written. The story development was interesting, there's a turn of events I didn't expect.

Jack Eden was as hot as in the previous 2 books. I loved everything about him. I liked Lily in the first part of the book, in the second half she pissed me off, because she was acting stupidly naive and with her behaivor she put in risk both their lives. But by the end everything went fine, and I understood her motives and they have their HEA. I would have loved a longer epilogue though. Oct 31, Nicla rated it really liked it Shelves: I like that it managed to surprise me at times. Also I have never read a book where the hero is British gypsy.

So it made the hero a like bit more unique than the typical OTT crazy alpha. HEA view spoiler [Yes. Hero owns a strip club where heroine worked at the beginning. View all 4 comments. Series review to come. Georgia still blowing me away every time. View all 3 comments. What a journey we have made.. This was a great one! It was so much better than the previous ones. I don't really know how to explain what did it. Maybe it was because this wasn't rushed and no more secrets coming from around the corner.

When I finished this one I was smiling not because it was done. But because it was actually a very great ending. Don't take my review to heart, read it yourself and then you'll know if it's the same for you. Or if you loved it. View all 6 comments. This was a great series. Highly enjoyable and a must read. From start to finish it hit all the right buttons. Jul 13, Natalie The Biblioholic rated it liked it Shelves: As I suspected, this book was the most entertaining of the series.

I liked the bit of drama with Jake's ex although my heart hurt for Lily , the tension between Lily and Jake's mother, and the interesting twist in the plot. I did NOT see that coming. I enjoyed the connection between Jake and Lily, but I wish there was more to their story so that I could see that bond strengthen and grow. Overall, a nice and easy read. Feb 27, Simona Misevska rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Amazing and amazing end for Jake and Lilly story,i m sad that is over but in the same time happy that Jake and Lilly got there HEA,the writing is phenomenal like always.

Georgia can make you cry for the charachters one minute, then in next lough with them and that ability have only the greatest authors. Once you start reading you will not put it down until last page and then you will want more and more. Eden 3 is full with mystery,romance,amazing alpha hero,likeable heroine and one true love. Eden 3 starts where Eden 2 end,after that cliffy we see that Jake and Lily are fighting to save what they have but between them are- lies, manipulative people.

In the beggining we see Jake childhood and what he endured in his younger years. Lilly is torn between love for Jake and her duty but in the end she know that Jake have her heart and from that have no escape. I will not go in the details because you must read it for yourself ASAP,don't want to spoil reading for others. Jake To say i love him,it will be misunderstanding i completely adore him he is not my Blake,he is always my number 1 but Georgia once again give us perfect hero with dark,raw side but for heroine always caring and loving.

Overall Georgia once again give us perfection of book,with fast-paced story,amazing hero and heroine,with many HOT scenes,mystery,drama and one true love. Amazing work G,can't wait for BJ and Layla story. When it comes to Georgia books i'm addictive. View all 5 comments.

I can't get enough abought this authors writing!

Eden is a part 3 must read trilogy about Jake Eden and Lily Strom ' s love and indescribable passion for each other A must read then when your done read all Georgia ' s series you won't regret it. Apr 18, Marie rated it it was amazing. I absolutely loved this series!!! I'm a Prime Amazon member so I was able to read these for free, but I would have gladly paid to have read them.

Jake and Lily are the perfect couple!!! If you've read the Billionaire Banker Series - you will love this too Georgia Le Carre - you're awesome!!! Jan 02, Riz rated it really liked it Shelves: Like the Lotus she can remain in filth and mire all her life but she will rise out of it clean and pure. After the cliffhanger ending of book two I could not wait to see where this enigmatic couple would take us next Jake is man who has clawed his way out of the gutter he found himself in as a boy; forged in the pits of hell, washed in the blood of men that owed the organisation, he has through sheer determination and strength of mind become the king pin of his family.

Falling for Lily could be his downfall, she could be the weakness that brings his empire to his knees but he alreadys knows Lily runs, runs from her guilt and her choices needing time to deal with the conflicting thoughts and feelings that Jale has stirred in her. Can he really be the man she thought he was, is he as guilty as she first thought? Her conclusions are clouded by her love but her instincts are true.

Can she redeem herself, is she worthy of his love? Reconciling her past, her motivations, her grief with her new found live for Jake will be the greatest battle she has fought, can she win? This final part to the Eden trilogy is once again beautifully crafted; with strong imagery, a hint mysticism, of something more than the eye can see, fate, destiny and lady luck I loved every page and was privileged to receive an arc. I am desperately trying not to give the plot away An Irishman, a Scotsman and an Englishman walk into a bar If I will still be hurt or hot and bothered.

I like how the story takes you into a totally perspective again. You think you figured it out and you know where this will lead, and then you will be taken totally by surprise by the choices the characters make and the secrets that are still uncovered. I love how the intensity is still there and I am as committed and invested deeply in this book still.

All it was because a tatted cock and look where it took me. Feb 26, C. Fallowfield rated it it was amazing. The final book in the Eden trilogy did not disappoint. It was gritty and raw but with a beauty and emotional depth to the writing, as I have come to expect from any of Ms Le Carre's work. I am usually good at spotting twists coming, but this one caught me out and made the finale even more special. Will Jake's mothers prophecy of Lily leading his to his death come true? There's only one way to find out, grab a copy and read it now.

Great creative and sizzling hot storytelling. Mar 27, Sandra rated it it was amazing. From start to finish this series has been amazing and absolutely brilliant. Jake and Lily were made for each other. The storyline of the modern day undercover cop really draws on the imagination and the added twist towards the end makes for a fab ending. Feb 07, Terry rated it it was amazing. Jun 21, Nicole rated it it was amazing. Loved this book and the entire series! Alpha male who knew what he wanted and went after it.

No cheating or OW drama. Apr 01, Claudine Van rated it it was amazing. Ms, Le Carre definitely has the gift of amazing stories in the palm of her hands. May 11, Melissa rated it it was amazing. Brilliant Final Installment I loved reading this the third and final installment of this series. I really enjoyed the way the characters developed throughout the series. I love Jake and Lily together. I have been rooting for them this whole time, so to finally get this far, and see for better or for worse, what happens is thrilling.

We get to understand Jake, and the reasons behind why he is how he is, plus the ways that he evolved with Lily. I also loved watching Lily develop as her story unfold Brilliant Final Installment I loved reading this the third and final installment of this series. I also loved watching Lily develop as her story unfolded, and she finally decides who and how she wants to be. Will she choose Jake? Could Jake's mother be right? All of the important ones are, anyway. The littler ones act — as you would think a littler one would in that situation.

Nothing feels off about them. Everything in this story is perfect except… the bad thing I was going to tell you about. Listen, I have always been really polite, I thought, when it comes to reviewing. I really try not to mention the editing or typos in general. No one is paying their hard earned cash to read this blog. Who cares if I make a typo? This is you and me chatting it up, you know? In a book, typos are something totally different. Last week, I had a friend actually kind of rip me a new one.

She had bought a book because I said it was great. As in, the typos are so bad…I turned it into a game to see how many pages I could get before I saw the next typo. I started marking the pages with the typos. To be totally honest, I kind of knew there would be a few typos before I started reading it. The day I received it, I noticed a typo on the title page. Feb 18, Beckie rated it liked it Shelves: I was contacted by Rachel Fisher the author of Eden's Root a couple months ago and asked to read her novel.

I feel in love with the book cover and the whole idea of the story being set in the future. While I have read many Dystopian novels within the past two years, Eden's Root sounds like nothing I had ever read before so I decided to give it a go. I will be honest and say I was kind of put off by how long the book was, but knew it would be worth it.

Eden's Root i First Impressions: Eden's Root is set in the year , the world as we know today is very much like the one described in the book but with one huge difference. The world itself is slowly dying. Fi Kelly's father is dying of cancer and on the last days of his life her father decides to tell Fi something that will change her life as well as everyone lives in the world. The food eaten and the drinks that were drank is killing everyone slowly.

Scientist do not know what is causing this and why crops are dying out around the world. Now everyone must continue to eat this "sickfood" to survive hunger even knowing the food is what is causing the world to slowing crumble around them. Fi was been told by her father days before he passes away that she and her family must find a safe haven away from this apocalyptic world. She will need to find a way to be strong and lead her family to safety. All the while knowing the road ahead will be filled with hardships, horror, and even sadness.

Fi and her family are now on a quest to find the one place that could save them all, Eden! First let me say that I loved the whole idea behind this novel. The apocalyptic whole and it's surrounding were told in a way that I felt I was right there with Fi and her family. I could almost feel her pain and see in my minds eye what she was going through through-out the story.

The story idea of the food we eat everyday being the one thing that will end the world and the people in it is scary to think about but a very unique concept. I adored Fi Kelly as the main character. Her inner strength and willingness to survive was astonishing and gave the book a "never give up" feel to it. On another aspect I did feel the story was dragged out a bit and long. While this is not always a bad thing because it gives the reader a full understanding of the book and all of the events that took place within.

For me personally I would have liked it more if it was a shorter book to read. I found myself taking breaks and coming back, not because the story itself was lacking but the length was a bit intimidating to me. All in all Eden's Root was worth the read. I feel in love with the character's in the story and the things that they were made to endure were so motivating.

I loved reading about the journey in itself that took to reach safety. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves Dystopian stories. While for me I felt it was a bit slow at parts and a long book to read the story within was amazing and very unique. Rachel Fisher has written a great debut novel and I look forward to seeing what else she may has in store for the future. Hopeful not a future like the one in Eden's Root! I remember when i first added the book on goodreads the summary got my attention, i mean a dystopian novel with an original storyline?

I'm all for it! So of course when i've been offering the opportunity to read and review this book i jumped on the occasion. I first have to say a huge thank you to Rachel Fisher for kindly offering me a copy of her novel! When i started my reading and saw very early in the story that the mankind was pretty much responsable for a spreading sickness and for the dest I remember when i first added the book on goodreads the summary got my attention, i mean a dystopian novel with an original storyline?

When i started my reading and saw very early in the story that the mankind was pretty much responsable for a spreading sickness and for the destruction of almost every crops on the planet it made me pause. I have to admit at first i thought i would me reading about the typical virus story or something along these lines destroying the humanity and here i was reading about something that could happen, because let's be honest here folks, the way everything is genetically modified these days i don't think it would be a surprise if we learned someday that we did irreversible dammage to our health and to our food sources.

The main character Fi is a thirteen year old girl, at the beginning of the story she lives an ordinary life with her mother Maggie and sister Kiara. Her father is dying from cancer and this sickness already took the live of her little brother a couple of years ago. Her father want her to prepare herself so that when the time comes she can save the rest of the family and brought them to Eden, a secret facility who's probably the last glimpse of hope for any person wanting to survive what is coming. At first i was scared that i couldn't relate to a character half my age but also i couldn't imagine a thirteen year old girl basically be ordered by her dad to train herself like some sort of crazy surviving fanatic in order to protect and save her family.

She learned how to fight, shoot guns and bows, hunt and a lot of others surving skills in order to be able to provide for her family. But she also had to live with an unbearable burden Obviously i thought it would be a little much to ask to a young girl like that Without giving away the plot let's just say that Fi is not your typical teenage girl and i mostly forgot how young she was through her very mature speeches and actions. I don't wanna give away to much so i'll only say that the story is on a two years timespan and is mostly told from Fi POV but the author still provided good backgrounds to her secondary characters and they're all very likable.

This is something i appreciated because a lot of authors tend to minimalize less important characters to focus on the main one which often makes it harder to connect to the storyline. Plus this story wouldn't be the same without Maggie, Ki, Sean even if i wanted to hit is head on a tree trunk from time to time! Overall if you like dystopian books this one should definitely be on your to-read list. It's been a real page turner and my only thought when i finished it was View all 4 comments.

The first thing that I noticed about the story was that it's a pretty big read. I read this on my kindle and there were no page numbers but there were locations that is above the normal teen reads I get that average between locations. It starts out describing the world and explaining the main plot of what the story is going to be, the reader gets to see right away that Fi, the main character who is 13 in the beginning of the novel is going to have to grow up fast.

She is smart and The first thing that I noticed about the story was that it's a pretty big read.

Eden's Root Trilogy by Rachel Fisher

She is smart and takes everything her father tells her to heart. She begins preparations for the time when she is going to have to leave town with her little sister when the time comes. There is a lot of stealing and lying and storage of necessities by her over the next couple of months. As well as learning how to fight, hunt, and some plant knowledge for food reasons. She eventually decides that she cannot leave her family and friends and decides that she just cannot leave them without some idea of what's going on. Plus the neighbor boy Sean has noticed she is missing school and that something is going on.

There were some parts of the book where they cannot travel because of the weather and settle down. The story slows and there is not a lot of things happening in those sections. We get to learn more about the individual characters and scout for more food and supplies in the abandoned towns. This story contains a lot of characters. We start off with around 14 people traveling in the group the plan was just supposed to be three so we have a lot of people to get to know and as they travel more people are brought into the story. Not all of them play the major role in the story, but there were a couple places I found the amount of characters hard to remember and especially their ages and which ones were sick or not and what skills they had to provide for the group.

The story eventually starts to involve a little bit of a romance and a lot of complications that the family must get through to find their way to safety. That is a very good deal for this story. My favorite character is Sean. I admired him, his actions and how supportive he was of Fi. Fi is a very strong leader and it really shows in this story that she had to grow up very fast in a short amount of time. I was torn at times that some of the adults in the group did not insist that she did not go out to scavenge herself because she knew where they were going and could not risk her getting hurt.

But she always held her own and kicked ass when she needed to. I think the main story behind the story is how the world treats our food supply.

With all the cross breeding of plants and use of chemicals in our foods, if not watched carefully could cause global damage, and in this story to the extent of global famine. It is 21 years in the future. Genetic modification of foods has led to a disaster, as crops begin to die all over the world. Fi is only 13 years old, but a secret revealed to her by her dying father makes her realize that she will have to mature quickly if she is to survive. Because while chaos and wreckage tear the world apart, there is one hope for her family.

One chance that they might make it. And it's up to Fi to save them. I loved doing so and only apologize that I couldn't have done it faster! The cons to being a college student This is the book for people who hated the Hunger Games series. Did you think it was ridiculous that the Capitol created the Games in the first place? Did you have a hard time believing it? Famines and food shortages create a whole different atmosphere on Earth, and the problems with genetic modification are frighteningly real. I'm a big fan of dystopian books to begin with, but this was a unique idea that impressed me.

Unlike Katniss who drove me crazy , Fi is unbelievably strong. She is determined, ambitious, resourceful, and passionate. She grieves and fights her inner demons but does NOT let them get the best of her. She is a heroine to admire- one that is worth reading about. The book also reminded me of Kristin Cashore's "Graceling" because of the overall theme of survival. But I thought its characters were much better developed. Strong family ties were emphasized throughout the book and you come to care for each and every character.

Definitely worth the time I put into reading, and I'm eagerly looking forward to book 2! Feb 05, Book Addictions by Christina rated it it was amazing. First if all i loved this book! Really wonderful read especially if you love Dystopian At first i thought it wouldnt take long to read because its only pages when i picked it up and felt the weight, then I opened it an saw the small type Which is just awesome because i loved reading it. I really felt like i took this journey with Fi and her Family. The writing was good and the chara First if all i loved this book!

The writing was good and the characters were so strong. I fell for them all. Its heartening to see such love and compassion in a world so desolute and cold. I loved and bonded with the characters and felt their losses and their hardships. I also was up lifted by their journey and every small good thing that happened. Fi the main character felt so real. I connected to her almost instantly when things started to turn up side down. All the character s grow so much its wonderful and when its over you feel like you really know these people.

Rachel has built an amazing world filled with outstanding characters. So much of it felt like something i would write myself. Like we were on the same page pun intended. The whole idea of the world falling apart the way she described is just so feasibile to me. It makes you think Are we headed down that road now? Everything was well thought out and i loved knowing what more than just Fi was thinking and feeling.

Had it been written in first person POV so much would have been lost. I have to say that I've fallen completely in love with this book. I laughed out loud and cried a few times. I love a book that you can feel.

And i felt Eden's Root to my core Thank you Rachel for giving me the opportunity to know these characters. Hoping for a book This is my OWN book. I am just figuring out how to get friends to review me here. At A Glance I liked the concept but the execution wasn't great. The crops are dying and aren't growing back.

A famine is on the horizon. Only a select few know about it. Before he died, Fi's dad warned her of what was coming. So Fi has prepared herself mentally and physically for the chaos that is about to descend on the populace. Because it is her job to take her Family to a place where they will be safe, wher From http: Because it is her job to take her Family to a place where they will be safe, where healthy food grows and thrives. I was so excited as I started this book. I have never read a book like it before.

And after finishing it, I knew this book would stick with me forever. She did exactly what someone should do when they know a famine is coming, she prepared. I was so proud of her. She didn't shy away from the things she had to do. She didn't allow herself to break down as her father died and her mother got sick. When the violence and cruelty started all around her, she lead her Family her real family and others who joined along the way with precision and courage.

Even when she had to do things that ate her up inside, she kept on a brave face in front of everyone else so they wounldn't be frightened. I was so happy to see Sean and his family go with Fi. They had been best friends and neighbors since forever. Without Sean, I don't know if Fi could have braved through the whole trek. Sean was her sidekick in a way, but he was also her emotional support. With Fi's mom weak from her sickness, it was Sean who supported Fi every step of the way as she had to protect both adults and children from the outside world.

I was so tense throughout Eden's Root. I couldn't imagine being in this situation, having to lie, steal, and even kill to survive. Fi and her Family faced some horrible situations. Fi usually came back from food raids internally traumatized by what she faced each time. When Fi finally met Asher, I was shocked by how Fisher had them meet. It was pretty horrific. But Asher was really amazing. With his trusty sword, he had survived the unthinkable. Gangs had been after him from the beginning, but he made it through and stronger for it. I felt so much better when he joined the Family because he was a fighter like Fi.

Eden's Root was a suspenseful thrill-ride. The characters made you want to keep reading to see what would happen to them next. I loved how they all uniquely contributed to the group in some way. It was a unique idea that hit close to home because I have a family member that got very sick because of processed and altered food. He can only eat organic food now. But his life is forever changed because of this. With the way we genetically alter our food, who knows if this is our future. It's a scary thought. I also think it's a wake-up call.

The Bad I think the biggest problem with this book is the execution. There was a lot of little things that kept bothering me. First, it was often very hokey and cheesy.

The concept and story were very serious but the characters would joke around sometimes and it felt forced. Then the idea that these educated adults and their children would follow every word of a 14 year old girl was sometimes unbelievable. I just didn't buy it. And with only a few months of training, I just didn't see Fi being that great of a leader.

Another thing, the book felt too long. One-third of it could have been cut and it would have been stronger for it. The beginning preparation Fi went through took too much room in the book as well. Lastly, I often felt like I was being taught a lesson. It was all too much scientific info and moral lessons. The Snuggly We have to wait a long time for the romance to start but once it did, I loved it. Fi and Asher were so cute together. But just kissing between them, that's all. Caution, there is a rape scene in this book.

Final Thoughts I have to admit, there is a lot about this book that didn't quite hit me right, but I really did enjoy it in the end. The concept alone made me want to read it and the characters' journey kept me reading. I hope this isn't our future, but I am happy Fisher shared this story with us. No matter how you squeeze it,' she held Kiara close as her chest tightened. So when you lose someone, you don't lose the love. It stays with you just as big in your heart as it always was. We may want the ache to go away, but we can't give up the love. So you live with both. It's a good thing you're little or I would be afraid of you.

If you like dystopian reads, you'll find this one refreshing! My favorite thing about Eden's Root is the circumstances around which the apocalypse happened. It wasn't the plan of evil governments, it wasn't bombs or volcanoes. It was - quite simply - man's greed. Scientists had, for centuries, cross-bred plants and animals and added pesticides and preservatives, convinced that they were helping to make more food to end hunger. Instead, all the blind tinkering with food sources led to all the plants and animals quickly dying resulting in a famine and Plot: Instead, all the blind tinkering with food sources led to all the plants and animals quickly dying resulting in a famine and many people becoming Sick with cancer and other diseases.

The most chilling thing is We know scientists have added all these things to our crops, this frightens people enough that they are willing to pay much more for "organic" food. So it's not difficult to take that leap and believe that some harm could come of this food. And Rachel Fisher, well, she could probably make me believe anything.

I was planning to give Eden's Root three stars for the first half of the book. Because the author felt the need to describe Every. Seriously, I had to read every discussion Fi had with her dying father, every part of her training, and after the apocalypse, so much of the trek was described in excruciating detail. Okay, maybe I'm being too hard on the first half. But then, Fi and Asher met. The tone of the novel suddenly changed.

Things started actually happening. The story went at a much faster pace. I could sense hope in the characters, especially Fi. It's like Asher came and revived them all. There were fights and deaths and joy and grief - a whole depth of emotion and that's when I got hooked, baby! First half, I didn't like Fi. She was so domineering! How did the adults handle following her? A person's level of preparation for the apocalypse doesn't automatically qualify her as Leader, but Fi leaves the Family with no option. The fact that she could be so undemocratic in that matter made me think she was insensitive and I didn't care for her.

As soon as she met Asher though, she completely changed. She finally started letting her emotions show and she started joking around more; thank goodness, because it was getting a little dull reading about a stoic survivor. Despite her unemotional attitude, I deeply respected her as a character. She was, without a doubt, a more-than-capable Leader and a formidable opponent in a fight and you just have to admire a year-old who shuts off her grief and trains so hard for a year that she can successfully lead a group of 15 or so people across who-knows-how-many miles to safety.

Asher I pretty much loved from beginning to end, no question. I think it was the sword as a weapon of choice that did it. He can be my book boyfriend!

Yes, there's a love triangle, but I loved the romance in this book anyway. It's a nice distraction from the extremely depressing conditions of Fi's world. I don't want to give anything away, but it's not a love triangle in the tradition sense, with two boys vying for the girl's heart. A lot better and so much more aww-worthy! Rachel has studied biochemistry and biogeochemistry and other unpronounceable courses, she is now a nutrition expert and truly knows what she's talking about.

She always is a bit of a word nerd and has a certain way with words. This fearsome combination makes for a book with a dynamite plotline. In her story, you can get the actual scientific reasoning behind the apocalypse in such a simple and interesting way, you actually understand and start to believe in it. I think Rachel would make an fantastic teacher. I hate when this happens! I fell in love with this cover and it turns out the girl was just a stock photo, plus the added background. Check it out for yourself: Mar 24, Sandra "Jeanz" rated it it was amazing.

MY REVIEW I'll start with the cover, the female with the lovely red curls on the front is Fi Kelly, a strong young girl who has to grow up quickly s she soon becomes responsible for not only her own survival but that of her mother and sister too. The cover also depicts the dry cracked earth of a dying planet and the nourished flourishing planet.

I love the cover as it really does fit the book well. Also I know this book is only on kindle but this book has the type of cover you would pick up in MY REVIEW I'll start with the cover, the female with the lovely red curls on the front is Fi Kelly, a strong young girl who has to grow up quickly s she soon becomes responsible for not only her own survival but that of her mother and sister too. Also I know this book is only on kindle but this book has the type of cover you would pick up in a store and want to know more about the story belonging to it.

I loved this book. I have read quite a few books of this genre and I would put this book up there with the best of them! So a little about the book now, The year is and plants and food sources have continued to be genetically modified and cross bred so much that they hardly resemble what they used to be. People are dying of a "sickness", sure the doctors and scientist may come up with different cancers or different names for the "sickness" but the result is the same people get ill, they get weaker and weaker until they die.

Is anyone doing anything about this? Fi is told by her dying father about the truth of the "sickness" and the forthcoming collapse of the world as we know it. He helps her as much as he can to be prepared for what will happen. He also gives her hope. The hope of taking her family to a place called Eden. To get to Eden, if she can even find it Fi with have to do many things she thought she wouldn't or couldn't do. To say Fi is tested to her limits is an understatement she is tested above and beyond any normal limits a youngster her age should have to face. This novel is the story of Fi, her mum Maggie and sister Kiara, and the extended family her neighbours who she decides to take along with her, John, Lucy, Sean, Rachel and Zoe.

Fi and her band of followers meet many along the way, good people who join them, good people who continue on their own and also bad, bad, people too. The book is simply but really well written, it flows really well as you follow Fi as the leader of her Family.

There are many issues dealt with in the book, for example death, but it I dealt with in a really compassionate way. I loved the concept of the book, the ideas behind Eden and Disapora it will make sense when you read the book! The details in Eden are brilliant! One thing that confused me a little was the way how Fi constantly called her mum Maggie, but that is kind of explained later when a newcomer asks Fi the very question I had been asking Why do you call your mum Maggie?

I think Rachel Fisher writes really well, you go through the trials and tribulations with Fi and the "Family". The ending of the book is done in such a way it makes you want to pick BK 2 up straight away to continue reading all about what happens next. You really want to read more about the "Family" and where they are staying, and you want to know how relationships and the world around the characters will evolve. So did I enjoy the book? Would I read more books by Rachel Fisher? Yes I adored her descriptions and writing! YES to all dystopian lovers, all who love a good book! Jun 25, Rachel V.

I really enjoyed this dystopian tale even though there were a few things that seemed to easy. I liked how the author made most things that happened in the story believable. I recommend checking this story out if you like dystopian tales. I give the story 4 stars.

Plot — First of all I feel this was a well written tale and it feels like the author really did her research. The story kept me interested and reading to find out what happens. Everything about this story seems like it could happen. The I really enjoyed this dystopian tale even though there were a few things that seemed to easy. The food shortages because of genetically altering plants and the riots once the food shortages started. The people running scared in the streets, the rumors of nukes and how people acted and reacted in the book are all a possibility should this ever happen. Also the thought of Eden is something I believe someone hopefully would have come up with if there was enough warning.

Eden's Root

I enjoyed going on raids with Fi and Sean and really enjoyed it once Asher joined in. The Family did not turn anyone away or disagree over letting people in. I believe people living this close with no modern amenities are going to argue or disagree at times. Also I would have preferred to have a little less on the descriptions and maybe a little more action in the story.

Characters — The characters were well written and we learned quite a bit about them and their backgrounds. I liked that the story was written from different points of view. It gave us more insight into what was going on inside different characters minds and different locations also. Fi was the POV that the story was most often written from. I found her to be a strong person and a good leader no matter what her age was. She was capable of leading all these people to safety and able to steal enough to keep them all alive. I liked how she thought out her choice of weapons also.

This was a big point for me because my husband is a gun enthusiast. A 22 as opposed to a Glock is going to be a better gun for a young girl and as long as you can shoot it is just as capable of injuring or killing as any other gun. The same goes for the bow and arrow vs. The Romance — At first this was a little surprise for me with the romance. I kept expecting something to change between Fi and Sean. However I do like the way it turns out. I really like Asher and I love that the author had his weapon as a sword. Also you got to see some of the adults become more solid in their relationship as opposed to actually dividing them farther which was nice.

The romance was good and it looks to continue in the next book. All in all I liked this story even though I had a hard time believing parts of it. This seems to be a good start to a series. I would love to read the second book in the series to see where the author takes this. Jun 28, Molli Moran added it Shelves: The entire time I was reading Eden's Root, one thought kept resonating: And for me, that is usually the most terrifying kind This suspenseful novel forced me to think about possibilities that, although they scared me, also made me appreciate the Fi and her family live in, and the choices she makes to keep them safe.

While reading Rachel Fisher's novel, I struggled a bit with some of the characters.

See a Problem?

I've waited awhile after finishing to write my review, and I think there was something off in the character's voices for me. I liked the actual characters themselves well enough - Fi was brave and loyal, Sean was protective and strong, Asher was devoted and swoon-worthy, and the other members of the Family all had important roles to play. But in retrospect, even though I understand she was forced to grow up fast, Fi never felt like a teenager, nor did Sean or Asher, really.

The only way I can describe it is that maybe Rachel struggled to really find their identities as teens - even teens who had grown up before they should have had to, due to their circumstances. Also there was a bit of a distance between the writing and their voices, almost as if she was afraid to get to close to the characters. However, I did find a lot to like about Eden's Root. I really loved the scenes with Fi and her father - to me, that's where part of the heart of the story lies, in Fi's devotion to her father, and in his wish to prepare her for the harsh realities she'd face after he was gone, another victim of the Sickness, a cancer-like disease transmitted through the very food they're eating.

I also liked the unexpected romance between Fi and Asher! At first I thought Rachel Fisher was going in a different direction with the romance, but I'm happy with the way it all played out - it felt natural. Despite the fact that the pacing when it came to large passages of time felt choppy, Asher and Fi ARE given time to grow as friends and as a couple, so that their pairing felt more natural than rushed.

Overall, I liked Eden's Root, and read it in one sitting, so that says something about the story being told and about the writing! I think Rachel Fisher has a lot of promise, because while there are a few aspects to this book that felt under-developed, there was also a great deal of potential for a brilliant sci-fi trilogy! Apr 08, Elena rated it really liked it. It does not contain vampires, aliens, nor zombies.

This novel is frightening, too frightening with its realistic situation. You are never lost through out this book. Fisher does a excellent job of keeping her readers informed on whats happening. I was good in Biology, but this takes it to a whole new level, when the food becomes the main source of the dwindling population. Set in the year , which is not far off, food is manipulate 4.

Set in the year , which is not far off, food is manipulated to "Sickfood" -- by accident, of course. Scientists thought that all the experimenting would help people from starving, but that did not turn out so well. With people getting Sick as time passes by and starving with no resources, the world turns into a dark, horrid place, in which Fi protagonist is forced to lead a group of people to a safe haven her dad mentioned. With leading comes great responsibility and traumatic obstacles. You will be safe. Sometimes she was a bit irritating, but she was courageous and selfless, and that makes a good leader.

Sean, Fi's best friend, could be a pain, but that is for you to find out why. Asher, well, read this book. Oh, and the ending, seriously? Now I cant wait for the second book. Apr 29, Darlene rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Recommended to Darlene by: This is quite a book. The author did a lot of research, it is evident, but it isn't splashed on every page.

The research proves this to be a great sci-fi in the real sense that REAL science is involved. I want to thank Ms. Rachel Fisher for this complimentary Kindle copy for reading and reviewing. I got to know her a bit through email exchanges and found she was friendly and accessible to her readers. On to the book. I didn't want to put i Wow!

I didn't want to put it down. I don't want to tell what happened at that point in the book as I don't want to spoil it for others. Needless to say there was less adventure and strength of character being shown. That for me was what made the first part so exciting. Not sure how I would have changed it. The last few pages pulled me back in and I am hoping there is more to read about these people and their situations. The main character is gutsy and has to be. I am glad to see that the author chose a young girl and proved it all could be done by a female. The growth physically and emotionally of Fi is a joy to watch.

I wish I weren't finished reading this book. That is a sign of a great one. At first I gave this four stars. Mostly because of the last part of the book, but I am changing it to five stars because this is an unforgettable story with a very important message. May 05, Yvensong rated it really liked it Recommended to Yvensong by: Chilling and exciting YA tale that takes place in the near future. The MC, Fi, learns that life as we all know it is about to take a disastrous turn.

Genetic Modification of our world's food goes awry. In a short time, food supplies pretty much disappear. What makes this dystopia chilling is the sense that the future represented within, is possible. The author uses her knowledge to create a very believable scenario to take her characters, and her readers, through. I like novels with strong, femal Chilling and exciting YA tale that takes place in the near future. I like novels with strong, female characters, and Fi does not disappoint.

She has to grow up fast and hard. The only stretch for me was that the adults were so willing to abdicate any and all control over their lives and the lives of their children to her without question. The other characters complimented the story well. There are friendships that evolve, romances, deaths, survival struggles and a touching relationship between Fi and her father - even after he passed. I only had one real issue with the story.

The early introduction of Asher was very distracting and destroyed the flow of the story. The salient points could easily have been shared with the reader, later. I received this book from the author through Smashwords for free. I thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read and review this. Dec 11, HebaH rated it really liked it. The world is falling into destruction, and the danger lies in the genetically enhanced foods that become known as 'Sickfood'.

Rachel Fisher thoroughly details the breakdown of the world, which is why the novel seems a little slow in the beginning. Surrounded by family and close friends she hurtles over obstacles and tough situations. Fi even finds love in one of the darkest cities in America since the sickness and famine became widespread. Aug 09, K. Hilton rated it it was amazing. This was such a wonderful book! In my opinion, if you enjoyed Hunger Games, you will enjoy this book. Few people knew about the coming of hard times.

Fi Kelly, a fourteen year old girl, was burdened with this knowledge before her father died. Her father was one of the people who knew what was coming and planned ahead. He urged Fi to learn survival tactics to keep the family safe and more important This was such a wonderful book! He urged Fi to learn survival tactics to keep the family safe and more importantly to find her way to a place called Eden.

Along the way, Fi and her extended family had to survive by looting, and living off the land. They had to not only feed themselves, but to also keep away from other people. The need to survive is not without trials. Danger hangs over their heads constantly. A good explanation of Sickfood and Real-Food is given. Fi is keeping her family safe and urging them to Eden, on foot. She takes her father's dying wish to a new level. Fi must do things she never dreamed of to survive or her family will NOT survive.

I can't wait to read the second book in this series, Seeds of War. Feb 02, Rebecca McKinnon rated it really liked it. This book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. This book is what I consider "soft" sci-fi. My definition of that is: It's about the people or situations. It is also apocalyptic. To be honest, for a while I stopped reading apocalyptic books, because I spent every night in my dreams living through disasters.

One of my favorite parts of t This book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. One of my favorite parts of this book was getting to see how Fi prepared. She was given exclusive knowledge that the disaster would hit, and she did everything she could to be ready. When the book starts, Fi is only thirteen, yet she's given the responsibility of caring for her family, and doing everything possible to protect and provide for them. That's a lot of responsibility for such a young girl.

Over the next two years, she's faced with many impossible choices. I had a hard time putting this book down, and I kind of wish it was longer. May 20, Ashley rated it really liked it Shelves: I'm not a scientist, so I don't really know how accurate or realistic the science in the book is, but the scary thing is that I can see this happening. Eden's Root is basically about crop deaths—due to food modifications or engineering plants or pesticides, etc. This book will make you think, it will booknook — Young Adult book reviews Eden's Root is a great example of a realistic dystopian book!

Aug 07, Lani rated it really liked it Recommended to Lani by: But science based fiction set around 30 years in the future. It's based on the idea that our food has been genetically modified ALOT over the past century or two. Nothing is as it was back in the 's- food is all crossbred and pumped full of chemicals to make things bigger, better, taste different, grow faster. In Eden's Root, all this genetic modification has caught up with us, and things are starting to go pear shaped. Crops are beginning to die before they can be harvested and Cancer of all forms or The Sickness, as it becomes known throughout the book is killing people at a crippling rate and some believe it is caused by the food.

On his deathbed, he tells Fi that the world as she knows it is coming to an end. That soon, there will not be enough food to go around. The only glimmer of hope for Fi, is Eden. A colony sealed off from the rest of the world, that her scientist father helped to create.
