How do you move on when you don't even know where you were going in the first place?
The Spirit Stalker is dead and I have finally started to erect my life. But I quickly discover, that just because the structure is built doesn't mean the foundation is sturdy. As much as I try to manage my abilities, I can't completely control them. The physical impossibility of the relationship I have with Justice has reached a boiling point; our fundamental problem, my inability to control myself from absorbing his power, and his fear of touching me because of it.
As if that wasn't deal-breaker enough, a new threat looms on my horizon - Darklings. They are grim reapers of the immortal world who surface every five-hundred-years to feed off the souls of magical beings who are weak, aimless, lost; those who have given up and want to move on.
They also hunt power. Which means, they're hunting me.
Abandoned by the one person I need the most, I find myself in Melenia's realm. There, I’m courted by Siberian, a dangerous pixie who covets me, hunted by Death personified; all the while hiding my powers and my ancient bloodline. The pixie prince is alluring, and I feel so broken and vulnerable. I know giving in to him means giving myself over to him. But right now, I don't care. All I want is to feel anything other than the loss and rejection Justice left me with. Anything other than pain.
So what do I do when I'm scared to be touched, even though I know it's the only way to bring my soul back to life?

From start to finish this book had me intrigued. I wish I had time to read iFeel prior to reading Gravitational Pull as it would have been so nice to start at the beginning of Liv's journey.
There is no denying Liv's feelings for Justice even if they are no more. Not understanding Liv takes this chance to work out few things she cannot control. Powers consume her ever moment of every minute, learning how to control them has gotten the better of her. She is known by some but not by all... What she is? Who is she? The discovery of her true nature could be dangerous for everyone she holds dear.
Will she fight for how she feels, or let go and move on? Does Justice know the truth or will he go off of accusations, seeing is believing right? A Pixie's nature is to own those with a gift, in return a promise or trade... Will the gift Liv receives cost her? She only has eyes for one, will he continue to be an accusing jerk or come around to know the truth?
I cannot wait to find out more about Liv and Justice in Constellation, but in the mean time I will pick up iFeel and possibly pick up Gravitational Pull for a second time... -

GRAVITATIONAL PULL (The Vis Vires Trilogy) book 2
By Marissa Carmel
Book 2 of The Vis Vires Trilogy continues the story of Liv and Justice. Liv is developing more powers and is now being hunted by Darklings. After being left broken hearted by Justice Liv goes to Melenia's realm to get a break from it all.
There she meets Siberian prince of the pixies who tries to pursue her.
A really great read that had me hooked so much I didn't want to put it down and it wasn't long before I had finished it.
I feel that I got to know the other characters alot more in this one, they were more involved and are bonding well together. The change in Liv and how she was dealing with her new found powers is also good. I still really like Justice and also get him and why he does what he does.
I am totally loving this series so far and I am really looking forward to see what happens in next book.
I'm giving it 5 stars for Amazon and 4 stars for Goodreads.

Liv is trying to control her powers. She is unable to touch Justice, even though she wants to so very bad. Liv is also being hunted by Darklings. This is a really fast, well-written read. The story immediately grabs your attention. I really like the mercurial Justice. He is such an unpredictable, bad-boy seraph. He is a great character. Liv has new powers. She is an empath, she can cause explosions and she can channel the seraphs' powers. Justice leaves Liv and she has a mini breakdown so her pixie and angel friends take her to Devonshire, even though she has Maiden of Honor duties to uphold for her human best friend Nikkee. These characters are so stubborn it is a total Much Ado About Nothing, they should actually communicate some. “I had nothing before I met you. I was nothing before I met you.” (swoon) “In this life, the next life, and any other life after that, it’s you, it will
always be you.” (double swoon) -
What can I say about the second installment in the Vis Vires Trilogy? It was absolutely Fantastic!! We delve deeper into their world and many things are explained. We also learn more about the Vis Vires, like who they are and what role they play in this magical world. We also see more of Justice and Liv's relationship, how it grows and solidifies. Even though they do hit a bumpy road along the way. We see how true love can conquer and come out on top! It was amazing and I was hooked! I do not know how I am supposed to wait for Constellation :'(

Magic and love have always been linked with fantasy. In the past it was the dark brooding man that thrived off of townsfolk’s fears that fed his immortality; or the time altering Viking that saved the meek woman from a monster. As romance has grown, it has also evolved into something new. No longer are women defined by the traditional roles of the damsel in distress, but they are thought of as equals who are able to hold their own when needed. Men have morphed into characters that have learned to respect and support their partner, bringing both balance and romance to the table. More women are described as beings that thrive off of imagination and enjoy a good ‘roll in the hay’. However, they still love a good argument or debate. This book is about one such woman named Liv. She is a fierce woman with a sex drive, but disciplined enough to know her limitations. Gifted with the powers of a demi-god, she is perpetually burdened and blessed with her abilities. Known as a talented empath she is unable to touch the love of her life and must choose her sanity or her world. Escaping from her past she finds herself in an alternative world of magic and lands the unwanted attention of a pixie prince. Doomed to lead a life of unwanted attraction she must make some heavy decisions. Can she find a way to restore her relationship with her soul mate? Can she learn to control her powers and lead a somewhat normal life? Will she actually live until the end of the book or be doomed to an early death like her ancestors?
This was a very interesting book, but was a little hard to follow. However, I found the concept of the book to be refreshing and new. As I got farther into the book the more it made sense for me, but I have not read the first book in the series. I loved the sexual tension that was created between Liv and her love, but really respected how the author kept it classy. There was a sense of humor throughout the book and the other characters were very interesting. I have taken a break from romance for a couple of months now since it seemed I was reading the same thing over and over, but this book was not like that. I actually was able to enjoy the story and was not overwhelmed with constant sex scenes that dominated the book and made it almost uncomfortable to read. I like actual romance in romance stories and this book did just that. I highly recommend this book, but must stress that readers read the first book before they get to this one. I plan on getting the first book to find out how the story began. Great job author and I must thank both Librarything and the author for giving this book to me in a giveaway. It was much appreciated and well worth the time! -
Overall, I did enjoy Gravitational Pull, even though I struggled with it at times. Liv is still learning about her powers but she seems to have a lot more confidence and uses her powers with purpose instead of on accident. She can now heal her friends from emotional pain, siphon another’s powers and use them herself, on top of exploding things. She’s pretty neat if you ask me.
Liv’s relationship with Justice is what I had a hard time with in this book. They had a magical miscommunication and Justice lets his own insecurities take over and pulls away. It was so obnoxious. First he’s saying they should move in together, then in the next chapter or so he is leaving her. Gah! So most of this book was her pining for him and being understandably but annoyingly sad. One of her other bodyguards decides to take her on a special trip to a magical realm to cheer her up. But there she encounters other dangers, like the Darklings who are drawn to her power.
They try to run from the danger but one evil being attacks Justice and tries to steal his immortality, and Liv manages to save him. But they’re still fighting and things are awkward between them for a few more chapters. Luckily, Liv meets a gypsy who decides to give her a gift and a warning of the future. That gift ends up keeping Justice from burning Liv as they fly away from danger on his fiery wings, so yay a convenient fix to one of their problems.
Eventually Liv grabs Justice’s hand and feels his true feelings and fears, and they . . . get back together. The last part of the book was very sweet. I really enjoyed their rekindled relationship and all the emotions that they finally were able to accept and share with each other.

I want to start by saying that after reading the first book I was so happy that this books writing was different and flowed beautifully. It was so much easier for my to get lost in the story line
Just when you think Liv and Justice are on the right track with each other Justice goes and breaks up with Liv with no explanation.
Liv doesnt understand why and starts drinking. As a way of helping her Jocelyn and Melenia decide to take Liv away to Devonshire which is the land of pixies. The Prince of Pixies, Serbian becomes fascinated by Liv and wants to take her as his own but during all of this Darklings attack not long after the rest of the Seraphs arrive.
Liv also meets a gypsy woman who give her a locket along with a warning about her future. But who is this woman and how does she know Liv and Justice?
This is a great read and I recommend this to everyone -
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had a lot of twists and turns and kept me so engrossed I couldn't put it down. The characters are well developed, even the supporting characters. This being the second book in the series did have a lot of references to things that occurred in previous book. However, you could read this as a stand alone book. I am hoping the author pursues this story further.
