Lisa Reviews: Some Quiet Place by Kelsey Sutton

Some Quiet Place is like no other YA Paranormal book I’ve ever read, and that’s very exciting! No werewolves, no vampires, none of that! Kelsey Sutton has introduced a new and refreshing topic in this genre, which everyone should take the chance to read.

I was offered this book for review, and when I said yes, because of the beautiful cover, I had no idea what I was getting myself into (I’ve already seen the cover or the sister book, and it looks just as amazing!). If you have this book sitting on your shelf right now, unread, I recommend pushing it to the top of your TBR pile. If you don’t own it yet, I recommend purchasing it RIGHT AWAY!

Some Quiet Place revolves around a girl named Elizabeth, who was in an car accident at a young age, and only walked a away with a few bruises and scratches. She hasn’t been the same since.

Elizabeth hasn’t told anyone, but she has the ability to see emotions and elements in human forms. She can’t feel any sort of emotion; not happiness, not excitement, not sadness or even anger. Not even Fear who is constantly sending horrific scenes into her mind whenever he touches her.

Elizabeth isn’t sure why this is happening to her, but it doesn’t matter how hard she tries, or pretends, she can’t feel anything.

Some Quiet Place follows Elizabeth on her journey to discovering herself, dealing with the loss, having her mother scared of her, having her alcoholic father beating her, and her relationship with Fear.

Where can I sign up for the Fear Fan Club? I absolutely love him.

When Fear is first introduced, he seems mysterious, and I wasn’t really sure why he was always around Elizabeth. My guess was just that he was interested and had never met anyone like her who couldn’t feel emotions.

But throughout the story he becomes more of a friend to her than a nuisance, which he seemed to be at the beginning of the story. He even opens up about his feelings towards Liz. When she’s in danger, he risks his job as a emotion, and his life as well, just to protect her.

Fear is like no other boy in YA Paranormal genre, and nor is his relationship with Liz. He isn’t just a normal guy, who knows  how good he looks, but instead he is insecure about being an emotion instead of a human.

Overall, Some Quiet Place had me addicted! There are other books I’ve read where the main character “had no feelings”, but nothing like Liz. Kelsey Sutton did an amazing job breaking our (the readers) hearts and not Elizabeth’s. Suttons writing was enticing and intricate! Loved it, and I can’t wait to read her other books.
