About the author
Janene Murphy
5 books10 followersThe short of it:
Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, Janene Murphy currently lives in Iowa with her husband and three kids. Her website, www.momsarefrommars.com, reaches readers in over 160 countries.
The long of it:
Born in 1967, Janene grew up in Libertyville, Illinois. When she was young, she had no interest in writing books. She wanted to take the business world by storm! After high school, she went to Indiana University - Bloomington and got a business degree. She also met her husband. They married a year after she graduated. For a long time she worked in sales and marketing, even when her and her husband moved to Germany for a three-year tour with the military. While overseas, they traveled a lot, racking up more than a few silly stories about their adventures. When they returned to the United States, they moved to Iowa. From there, they had her first child and Janene became a stay-at-home mom. Years later, after the kids grew up a little, she decided to finally pursue writing.
As a writer, Janene has sort of a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde personality. She loves writing both YA fiction as well as humor. It's not the best for author branding, but bouncing between the two keeps her sane. You don't want to see her when she's crazy.

*** An Extraordinarily Greatread ******
This book was fantastic! I loved the storyline and the book left me wanting more. I want to know what happens next. I really hope the author does a part two and continues this piece of extraordinary work.
The characters in this story are well developed and easy to get acquainted with. I really loved Alina, she truly is extraordinary. The ending of this book was great. Altough, it does leave you wanting more.
I want to know what happens to the clan next. Who Alina falls in love with. Although, I am rooting for Blake. I would also like to know if Trace ever gets powers.
This was a Greatread and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a magical story.

This play on phenomenon is important. It shows the eternal battle of good versus evil. Although this may seem trite, it is still a relevant issues in postmodern times. The characters were well-rounded. Though some needed more developing.
Overall, this novel is unusual. That what makes it a gem. Some restructuring is needed.
