Reborn Yesterday (Phenomenal Fate, #1)

by Tessa Bailey

A timeless love story with bite.

It was a night like any other for funeral home director Ginny Lynn, until the exceptionally handsome—and unfortunately deceased—young man on her embalming table sat up, opened his emerald eyes and changed the course of her life
forever, making her feel quite fluttery while he was at it.

Humans aren’t supposed to know Jonas Cantrell, or any vampire, exists. It’s kind of a major rule. Despite his instantaneous bond with perfectly peculiar Ginny, he has no choice but to erase her memories of their one and only meeting.

That was the plan. Before a reluctant Jonas can wipe Ginny’s mind clean, she reveals a secret that brings their worlds crashing together. Human and vampire. Past and present. Darkness and light. And while their love is strictly forbidden, it might be the
only thing that can save them…

Reborn Yesterday is a standalone novel.

DNF - I only got four chapters in. Nothing about this story was drawing me in. There was nothing that made me feel the instant draw of these two characters. They were both so bland and there was nothing about Ginny that would have drawn the attention of a Vampire Prince. I am guessing she was supposed to be quirky nerd but she was awkward and boring with no personality. The vampire was no better than a boring one dimensional character. Their initial interaction was uninteresting and certainly didn't scream I must see you again even though its against the rules.

I have several Tessa Bailey stories in my TBR. I hope the rest aren't like this one.

I didn't see this one coming...

Reading romance is one of my favourite things to do. It's even more of a pleasure when I get surprised by what I'm reading. This story was not at all what I was expecting. Tessa Bailey has written an original story filled with love, humour, passion and strength. The characters were a joy to meet and I definitely want more from this world I was introduced to.

I absolutely loved Ginny and Jonas together and thought their love story played out perfectly. Yes, I thought it moved a little too slowly in the beginning. By the stories conclusion, I realised it needed to be tested to get to the right ending.

The cover was eye-catching, the storyline original, the characters lovable and the connection between Ginny and Jonas, jumped off the pages. For the most part, I really enjoyed Reborn Yesterday. I admit that Jonas could be a little thoughtless with his decision making but Ginny made sure to stand her ground. I can't wait for Roksanna and Elias' story and would love Tucker to get his own happy ever after.

If you're looking for something a little different, I highly recommend giving Reborn Yesterday a try.

Tessa Bailey writes PNR! I jumped on Reborn Yesterday because I love Tessa's books. PNR was an absolute bonus. But I started reading and discovered its vampires and I died of sheer happiness!

Ginny is an isolate young woman running her family's funeral home. Jonas is a body in the morgue that changes her life. You get a bit of the fated mates thing here as both Ginny and Jonas are inexplicably drawn to each other. Personally, I LOVE THAT! Jonas tries very hard to fight it because he knows being around her could lead to her death. However, when someone is trying to kill her anyway, he decides she is safer with him than without. I loved the uniqueness of this villain!

Ginny is adorably quirky and at the same time heartbreaking. Her life is incredibly challenged-she is a social pariah due to her job, her beloved father passed away, her family business is barely keeping her and her stepmother afloat. You really want to reach out and hug her. She loves old movies, cares about others, and has a love for making her own dresses.

Jonas' life is much darker. He helps newly turned vampires adjust to their new reality. He has 2 interesting roommates, and until Ginny find him in the morgue, he life was pretty monotonous. He certainly has the brooding bad boy vibe down.

Reborn Yesterday will be a sure hit for fans of Tessa Bailey and I think it will draw some new readers her way with this PNR! Reborn Yesterday was giving me the Twilight vibes in all the best ways! Twilight was what got me back into reading. Bailey writes a great story full of danger, desire, and drama! I'm looking forward to more of the Phenomenal Fate series!

I discovered Tessa Bailey last year and have been a major fan since then of her writing. She converted this soul into loving the real kind of dirty talk
