Infinity (The Infinity Division #1)
Jus Accardo
Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Kori is a free spirit and isn't good at following the rules. After getting into a little trouble, her Army General Dad sends her a babysitter, while he is away. Cade isn't what you would expect. He's intense and clearly more than he seems. Kori has more problems than the law. Everyone has their secrets, but some are bigger than others. Her family are at the forefront of a scientific discovery that could change everything.

This is a sci-fi fantasy book with romance, mystery, and a whole lot of trouble. It creates an interesting fantasy concept that will leave you wanting more.

The story continues Omega out November!

I have to say Jus Accardo is great at writing science fiction books, I love the Denazen series and Infinity was no disappointment. Kori’s world is thrown upside down when she finds out what her dad really does when he goes to work. When her dad goes away on a business trip her dad gives her babysitters, one of them is Cade. Kori’s life gets threatened by a crazy guy who can uses a device to jump dimensions and she does everything in her power to protect herself.

All the characters in this book felt real to me, and they were very well developed. Every characters backstory was very believable to me. My favorite character was the main character herself. Kori is such a selfless, strong, smart, brave, and artistic girl. Which is an awesome combination. She knows the dangers in her life but is brave enough to fight for her life and others. My favorite part of the book was the end, because it was so unexpected. Honestly this book got me out of my reading/blogging slump. It was so interesting that I couldn’t put it down unless I had to go back to the real world and do school work.

I am very interested in alternate realities and how different authors will pull off such an unknown thing. Infinity did such a good job at painting a good world with multiple worlds. And I can’t wait for the next book to come out. Overall Infinity is an amazing read and if you want a great science fiction book then this book is for you.

Along with that simply stunning cover comes an intriguing story that really makes an impact in the YA world!

“Real love, she always said, knew no bounds."

I usually don't like stories about alternate dimensions, just a personal preference I have. But I must say, this is the best story about dimension travelling that I've read so far.

All Kori want's to do, is work on her mural. When she is escorted home by the police in the early morning, her father puts her on house arrest. When he has to travel away for work, he sends in two soldiers to watch over Kori. Only these aren't regular soldiers, they are Kori's friends from an alternate Earth, trying to save her life.

I liked Kori as a main character, but I didn't necessarily love her. I loved that she was very strong, she knew how to take care of herself and she was incredibly smart. Comparing her to the other Koris she is told about in the story, I'm glad we got to read from this one's point of view, I'm not sure if I would have finished this book if it was in the other's view. There were a lot of times that Kori couldn't understand the other character's emotions and what they were trying to tell her, even though it was clearly in her face. Other than that, she was a wonderful character.

I wasn't a huge fan of Cade (the love interest), he was okay but he just seemed really immature and jumpy to me. Definitely not my type of guy. On the other hand, Nathan was just my type. He was strong, smart, knew when to talk and when to keep his mouth shut. I loved everything about him, honestly probably more than Kori herself.

The storyline was alright. It was definitely interesting and I did want to continue reading, but I could also see some people getting bored and giving up. I feel like you have to be really into the "parallel universe" type of books to be able to get through this one fast.

What I didn't like about this book, was how predictable it was. Unfortunately there were no characters that surprised you throughout the book, and basically what you think will happen, happens. No surprises and nothing crazy.

This story definitely had potential, but it just wasn't a complete winner for me. I still really liked it, and will definitely continue the series if I can.

I love time travel. I love love story. I love alternate timelines, and alternate universe. This book had all of those things and more. I do think the main characters were very interesting in the ways they were pushed together and pulled at by their time/s. I wished there was more depth and character growth sometimes, but I'm deeply and dearly looking forward to reading more things by this author. I love the chance to see them continue to tackle this topic.

I haven't read that many sci-fi books but I'm glad I read this one.
This probably wouldn't turn up on my Most Favorite Books list but it was good. I like the writing-style but I guess I wanted more, you know? I was bored a few times and reading the ending didn't really made me feel like I'm ready to give up my firstborn child to get my hands on the next book. But who knows maybe I'll like that better?

I received an e-arc from the publisher via NetGalley to read and review.

There is something that just happens, something that just clicks when you read an amazing story. You start off not knowing what you're getting yourself into and then somewhere along the way you start falling for those characters and rooting for them. The most amazing part of all of this is when an author can make it so seamless that you cannot even pinpoint when it occurs. Jus Accardo has that ability. With Infinity, this story is such a mind-whirlwind that you cannot help but instantly be invested with and I loved every minute of it.

I have to admit, I adored the way this story started off. Our main character Kori, is an artist and that right there was an instant quality I loved about her. However, I wish we revisited this opening scene or location (without giving anything away) and I hope that if there are future books, it will come up again. With all that being said, Kori is such a strong protagonist. She is spunky, takes no crap, athletic, adventurous, and probably the most important selfless. You cannot help but stand behind her during every decision.

With our other characters, I honestly have to say I really liked Noah. He is so strong through and through. At first, you are not completely sure of his M.O. or what he is thinking but as the story continues you get to watch Noah change and develop, and I adored that. Cade was a little bit of a different story for me. I definitely rooted for him and Kori, however I didn't fall in love with him as much as I wanted to. Maybe it was the instant click with him and Kori (for obvious reasons), I'm not completely sure. Then again, with some people when you know... you just know, right?

The concepts in Infinity instantly made me love this book. I am such a sci-fi, suspense, romance guru and it definitely gets my book-loving going when a story combines all three. Infinity is definitely another stunner from Jus Accardo and I cannot wait to see where this story goes to, literally.

"If I get through this, I promise to do something about it. I swear I'll live my life like my art. Take chances. Live in vivid color."

Great characters with plenty of action in the form of travel between dimensions and nice touch of romance. Especially liked the character of Kori, she deals with a lot but stays strong while attempting to figure out why the villain is after her and her young bodyguards need to protect her. There is mystery, revenge and a sweet attraction between Kori and Cade, pretty much everything needed for a good young adult read.

I'm so disappointed I did not download this in time! I was really looking forward to this, but needed to read something else first.. So, this is not a real three star review. I'll probably still review it one dat after I purchase it.

I was eager for this book from the moment I heard about it, and boy am I so glad I read it!! I absolutely love books dealing with parallel universes / the multiverse and travel between them... and this thriller from Jus Accardo is an excellent addition to that group I love so much. This is actually the first book by Ms. Accardo that I've read, although I have several others that she's written, and I will be reading those soon now that I've had a taste of her writing!

I think Ms. Accardo did a great job of setting up the world for the reader, giving us great insight into the characters and their motivations. I really liked Kori, the MC, and her "voice," and to some degree that is because I identified with her as a military brat. My dad was in the Air Force for 20 years, and although he wasn't a tough-as-nails Army general and didn't helm a top secret, super important government project, I understood Kori because of that connection. To some extent, the book reminded me of Liz Norris' Unraveling duology, and Kori herself reminded me of one of my absolute favorite characters, Farris from Sherry Ficklin's #Hackers series. (Those are both very positive comparisons, and if you loved Infinity and Kori, I highly recommend checking both of those out if you haven't read them!)

I loved the way the multiverse was explained, in a way that made it easy to understand and yet complex enough that it's not hokey. The mystery was allowed to slowly unravel for us, so that I was constantly surprised by what happened next and what the next big reveal would be. I absolutely cannot wait to follow Kori, Cade (yum!), and Noah on more adventures and I will be waiting on pins and needles for the next book!

Disclaimer: I received an e-ARC of this book from the publisher. This review and rating are my honest feelings after reading the book.

Review: 2 out of 5 stars

I am such a huge fan of Jus Accardo, I have loved all of her series to date so I was quite excited to read and review her latest title, Infinity which is the first book in the series, The Infinity Division.

Unfortunately, I didn’t completely love it. It took me a while to get through and just as long to warm up to the main character, she was a bit of a pain and not the most endearing personality that Jus Accardo has written.

Kori is rebellious teenager with an Army general overprotective father. After getting in trouble for a graffiti incident he sends in two soldiers to watch over her whilst he is away but these guys are unlike others that have watched over her previously and she soon discovers secrets about her family life and ends up on the run from someone wanting to kill her.

The storyline about a secret government project was creative but not unique and there is a lot of information yet to find out. Other characters we get to know are Noah, Cade and Dylan and to be honest they were quite bland and I didn’t fully connect with them. As this is the first book in the series I am really hoping things improve in the sequel.

The world building was more tell rather than show, the alternate universe was mentioned but we never quite go there so I am still eager to learn more or see Kori visit. Parallel dimensions have never been a favourite storyline of mine but my hopes were high.

We also have the villain of the book and this guy is missing more than a few screws! His purpose was all about revenge and the lengths he took were pretty crazy.

Another thing I couldn’t connect with was the romance, it felt like too much too soon and I honestly couldn’t see how it would work out so this is something else I’m eager to see further explored.

I couldn’t fault Jus Accardo’s writing style but the pacing was slow and a few scenes were over dramatized. It pains me to give this book a low rating but I will still continue with the series.
