Treasured Secrets (Coveted Saga #1) (The Coveted Saga)
Aria Weislen fought hard to stay in her rainforest home deep in the heart of South America, but she was forced to go back to the states to join the rest of her family. Grayford, Massachusetts is almost the polar opposite of her sweet jungle escape, but it does have one thing her old home never offered… Tallis Verdan. The sight of him leaves her unbalanced and almost incoherent.
Stolen glances and accidental grazes leave her with a fever almost every time. But his mixed signals get her high one second before leaving her to plummet the very next. In a world full of secrets, looks can be deceiving. Even her own reflection has been hiding the truth of what’s to come.
It doesn’t take long to realize why Tallis sends her on such highs and lows. His blood, his ties, and his secrets rival hers. And when the reality Aria has known shatters to make way for the fantasy she never believed, it all spirals out of control.
It’s her they want, but he’ll stand in the way…

I prefer CM Owens' other series
I really tried to give this book a chance... but the main character was not strong and frankly annoying. I only finished 30% of the book and decided to stop. I'm sure the story gets better BUT the heroine distracts me from enjoying the story. Personally, I prefer the deadly beauties series. Simply put, the main character is a child who likes to throw tantrums, whines a lot in her head and runs away from little embarrassment situations. She waits for the man to swoop in and save the day. I prefer strong female characters who can banter and go toe to toe with their destined "mate". I understand the character is suppose to be a high school girl with little life experience so her personality is justifiable.. but it was Just a tad bit overdone. C.M. Owens is one of my favorite authors. So if you don't fall in love with this series, please try her deadly beauties series AND sterling shore series!!
yet another awesome book by C
yet another awesome book by C.M. Owens! If you want hot and heavy loves scenes read her Deadly Beauties series and if you want more into the fantasy world with a little love interest this book is for you, whence suggested reading 15+. Hey not every book has to be hot and heavy! The characters are well written out, the love dilemma is a little drawn out on this one, but hey the characters are in high school on this series so it is expected. I love the books by C.M. Owens and can not get enough!! Sad this is I am on my last book and have a month before her new one comes out..that just gives other authors a chance lol
For teenagers
Anyone older than teenagers who read this book with find the heroine excruciatingly annoying and whiney but I guess its typical for a teenager. Its been so long, I forgot. I also found her pretty pushy when it came to forcing herself on the hero. I guess that's typical teenage hormones too. She was a bit "loose" for my taste, for such a young age. She also spoke about loving the hero for a long time, please school had already started by the time she got there and snow was on the ground when she said it. Couldn't have been more than 6 mths, guess that's long in teenage years. For adults, read "Deadly Beauties"
Very generic feeling read - I like this writers other work, but this book was pretty pitiful - Can't believe I finished it!
I would have declared this book a DNF early on but at the time I didn’t have another book on hand so I stuck it out. This turned out to be a complete waste of time. I have read some of this writers other work and liked them, but this book pretty much just sucked from beginning to end. The writing had a juvenile feel to it. The plot was similar to dozens of other books in this genre Ive read. Even the characters felt cardboard like. Throw in some insta-love and this hot mess of a book is what you get. At least it was free, but I still wouldn’t recommend this one to anyone. Sorry!
Great book even being a YA
I actually really enjoyed this book and just bought next one in series, I just hope Aria is a little more mature than she was in this book. She's 17 she needs to act it even with everything going on. This book definitely ended on a cliffhanger she finally gets her kids from Tallis but then she screams in terror.
Theres a reason it gets 5 starts!
Loved this book! I started reading this book yesterday and I stayed up all night just to finish it! I thought it was well written and it had a great story line! I also found that the characters all had a bit of depth to them, the authoring giving some background to a few characters, but not wasting time or making them page fillers. The book begins with the main character Aria getting ready to go shopping before her first day of school. She has just left her home to come live with her grandparents like all of her siblings before her have. While at the mall she sees a boy from across the way, who just so happens to be the high school heart throb! She starts noticing some strange things happening around her new found friends at school and her family and is greatly confused by it. By the time she finds out her family history, and about who she is, its to late for her family to be the ones who told her! To learn about your history and your life ahead of you from strangers has to be hard in itself, but the events that follow make things even harder for Aria the new girl in school who just wants to fit it. Again, I thought it was a great read and I'm just dying to continue reading this series!
Great little Saga
Aria is a great character for her young age! I loved her right away! There is a love triangle, danger, excitement, fun and fear. There's witches, light and dark and Aria had no clue about this world until the "heyena" AKA means girls at school make her runaway and cry. Aria runs right into danger. Verge of death danger but Tallis AKA her soul mate saves her life. She wants him but he can't want her but others chase her. Tallis and her family come from different blood lines and Aria brings the families together. There is so much in this first book! Great read!!! Ending is a cliff hanger but the next book is just as good!
Brazil does NOT speak spanish they speak portuguses!!!!!
I liked the book overall. There were a few things that I thought the main character was childish and not strong..... But I read it all so that counts for me. Also the lack of looking up a simple thing like what language a country speaks is really annoying. All of south America except Brazil speaks spanish, Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese so they speak portuguese.
Interesting read
I found this book to be an interesting read. The Coveted Saga has interesting characters and story line. It's not an up in your face page turner. Yet, it does keep you guessing. The only downside that I found was some misspelled words and or missing words. I picked up the entire series due to the fact The Sterling Shore series was a page turner. At least for me. Would I recommend this book? Yes, I would.
Treasured secrets
Aria is certainly a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it. Tallis was confusing along the way but it made more sense by the end of the book. That cliffhanger was not fun. But lucky for me I’ve read the series already and know what happens
