Forbidden by: Syrie James and Ryan James
She should not exist.
He should not love her.
Claire Brennan has been attending Emerson Academy for two years now
(the longest she and her mom have remained anywhere) and she's desperate
to stay put for the rest of high school. So there's no way she's going
to tell her mom about the psychic visions she's been having or the
creepy warnings that she's in danger.
Alec MacKenzie is fed up
with his duties to watch and, when necessary, eliminate the descendants
of his angelic forefathers. He chose Emerson as the ideal hiding place
where he could be normal for once. He hadn't factored Claire into his
plans. . . .
Their love is forbidden, going against everything
Alec has been taught to believe. But when the reason behind Claire's
unusual powers is revealed and the threat to her life becomes clear, how
far will Alec go to protect her?

My review:
First I want to say that I love the cover of this book very simple but really pretty. I won this book a couple of weeks ago from the Paranormal Book Club (thanks again ladies <3) and was very excited when it came in the mail.
I love Syrie she's an awesome writer. I own and have read The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen and The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte and fell I love with both books so I couldn't wait to read Forbidden.
I think it is so awesome for that this book was written by a mother/son duo. And believe me they make a great duo!
Forbidden is a story about Claire (a nephilim) trying to figure out who she is in life and Alec (a grigori) trying to run from his.
I really enjoyed their relationship and really hope for many more books to watch it grow and evolve. Of course their love is forbidden so there are lots of obstacles they have to overcome if they can overcome them at all. But anything worth having is worth fighting for and Claire and Alec find that that's exactly what they may have to spend their lives doing for their love.
Forbidden had me from the beginning and I found it very hard to put down. I enjoyed all of the characters, the storyline and the flow of the book as a whole. An amazing and easy read for teens and adults alike.
