REVIEW: Unblemished by Sara Ella

About the Book

Eliyana has always recoiled from her own reflection in the mirror. But what if that were only one Reflection—one world? What if another world existed where her blemish could become her strength?

Eliyana is used to the shadows. With a hideous birthmark covering half her face, she just hopes to graduate high school unscathed. That is, until Joshua hops a fence and changes her perspective. No one, aside from her mother, has ever treated her as normal. Maybe even beautiful. Because of Joshua, Eliyana finally begins to believe she could be loved.

But one night her mother doesn’t come home, and that’s when everything gets weird.

Now Joshua is her new, and rather reluctant, legal Guardian. Add a hooded stalker and a Central Park battle to the mix and you’ve gone from weird to otherworldly.

Eliyana soon finds herself in a world much larger and more complicated than she’s ever known. A world enslaved by a powerful and vile man. And Eliyana holds the answer to defeating him. How can an ordinary girl, a blemished girl, become a savior when she can’t even save herself?

My Review

Unblemished was a refreshing and thrilling YA Fantasy from debut author Sara Ella. It tells the story of Eliyana (I love that name by the way.) who has this scar on her face that makes her so insecure, but it may be that scar that gives her strength. Her mother goes missing and things begin to get strange. There's battle between good and evil and romance.

Unblemished is one of those reads that leaves a big imprint on your heart. This is a book that is perfect for fans of Urban Fantasy and the Angel Eyes trilogy by Shannon Dittemore.
