"Genesis (The Infinity Series, Vol.2)" by Bellamy Westbay sounds intriguing. Travelling across the multiverse to find the key to the Tree of life? I could only imagine the depth of Alex's love for Gwen. I think this story holds the key to one or two life lessons.

Thank you for your straightforward review.

I personally love the twist on the first chapter about Alex's emotions of guilt on Gwen being poisoned by Hannah with the help of Ky whom was Gwen's boyfriend that didn't have any feeling with her.
This made me feel an urge to have read the book one of this series since i was on flying with questions in my mind about how the story started on and be on the loop of the story line. But i later on flowed with the story.

As i continued to dig deeper into the story, i felt drawn into the desperate willingness of Alex and Jasper, Gwen's best friend to face all ups and downs just for Gwen to have a recovery from the poison that was wearing her out. Despite given tasks to do by guards of the trees of life, the fight all sorts so as to get all the keys. If i had a guy like Alex, oh my! I will definitely go on my knees and propose. :D Weird, i know but i adore Alex who has been my favorite character throughout the whole book. An angel falling in love with a human, who would not enjoy that unusual occurrence?

I was impressed with the plotting and presentation of characters through the chapters. Though there were minor grammar errors which could been avoided here and there. I will therefore rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. Great work indeed. Can't wait for the third book to come out. lmao. :wink:

Not a fan of angel stories. I'll pass this one. The cover is impressive, though, it would have caught my eye.

An honest review!
I, myself don't usually read series stories but this one changes my mind. A romantic-fantasy book, nice!

I am amazed by the idea of a multiverse, but angel books are not my thing. It doesn't sound like the kind of book that could be read without reading the first one in the series.

Genesis tells an interesting tale about a banished angel Alex who falls in love with a human, Gwen. The idea of relating a poisoned companion with the tree of life sounds quite interesting.

The only reason I don't want to read this book is that I want to read the first one before I read anything more than the intriguing sample. I enjoy the fantasy genre and this would be a good read, but only as part of the series. Reading books like this out of sequence can ruin the entire series.

Thanks for the review, but I don't think I'm interested in this story of a search for a cure, especially since it's book 2 in a series; I never read books out of order.

It’s great that although this is part of a series, there is enough detail in the book for it to stand on its own. That shows talented writing! I am definitely interested in reading the rest of the book and series. Thanks for the great review

Thanks for the descriptive review! Although it sounds a little interesting, however, I'm going to pass on this one. Like a few of the others, I too don't like to read a book out of order in a series. In addition, the genre isn't usually my cup of tea. However, I can always go for a good romance movie :) .

Interesting concept. I'm just concerned with stories about angels that seem to contradict their Biblical nature.

This sounds like an extremely intriguing read! I also really like the fact that the main plot and points are wrapped up at the end, while still allowing for a cliffhanger to set up for the next book. Great review!

Based on the review this is a book that I definitely want to check out. I think that I would read the first book of the series before I started this one. I like that this is a paranormal romance. I also like that the characters are on a journey to unlock the world tree so that Gwen is healed from the poison. I can't wait to start reading and see if it is as interesting as the review made it out to be.

A review on Genesis (The infinity series, vol.2) by Bellamy Westbay.

At first I was a little worried because I have not read the first series of the title, thinking I will not understand what the book is all about. But to my amazement, this is such a great book about a man who pushed away a woman in His life whom He deeply loved, now He is on a journey to the tree of life to find cure for this woman.

An emotion novel of loosing the woman you love, your life partner. This book takes you through the pain you will be feeling before the person dies. I have never lost a life partner but I really felt the pain that the author is talking about . Its so painful and overwhelming to see someone you love suffer more and more and the sad part would be the fact that whatever you are doing to ease the pain and the efforts you take to bring comfort to the person seems not to be working. You feel so powerless. The author puts us in His shoes, His emotions, His moment and His overwhelming pain at that moment and an inability to stop or prevent it from going any further

A lot of times we tend to take the blame if the person does not get any better, we feel like we should be doing much more, much important for our sick loved one. We remember all the terrible things we did to them and how we need to have a second chance of their life, just to do things better and treat them with lots of love and respect.

There's an important lesson that I learned here and I do believe that a lot of readers with also appreciate this lesson. The author mentioned that Ky was Gwen's soul mate but yet He was the one who helped Hannah poison Gwen. well, to me it says sometimes the people closest to us or people we trust the most can be the ones who hurt us the most. And you have to realize what you have before you loose it, realize all the important people in your life before loosing them as it can be unbearably hurtful if you may realize after pushing them away, just like the main character did to Gwen, the women He adored.

I find the book professionally edited, I did not find any grammar faults nor spelling errors. therefore I rate this novel 4 out of 4 stars. This book can be read by anyone from teenagers to pensioners, especially those who enjoys life lessons. Keep up the good work Bellamy.
