High: The Way of an Eagle
IMAGINE FLYING OUT OF YOUR WINDOW WITHOUT YOUR CLASSMATES KNOWING.."INTO AN INTENSELY BEAUTIFUL AND HAUNTINGLY MYSTERIOUS WORLD..."SIXTEEN YEAR-OLD VERONA LAMBERTI thinks that "poofing" out of her body and flying out the classroom window would be a whole lot cooler if her eagle flights didn't end with people she cares about being maimed or murdered.
On top of dealing with the horrors in her real world: a newly broken family, a move to Jamestown, Virginia, a place which feels like light-years from her real home in New York City, and a new school where she's been virtually invisible for months, now she's got to deal with seeing and experiencing horrors in another realm. A mysterious realm where demons push humans to commit atrocities. Things go from bad to worse when the horrors in that dark realm start to come true in the real world.
WHO CAN VERONA TELL THAT A CRIPPLING CAR WRECK, A SENSELESS SUICIDE AND BRUTAL MURDER ARE ALL CONNECTED?
Who can she trust with the truth about her eagle visions?
And then there are the creepy notes and phone calls: warnings that escalate to death threats. Death threats that become all too real when the demon prince unleashes his minions on Verona.
When everything seems to connect to her super-hot new boyfriend, Verona is determined to discover the truth before it kills her. Or anyone else she loves.
Discover a biblically-inspired force that traces back to the Old Testament, Native American legend, the Middle Ages, and even Abraham Lincoln's death, armed with supernatural powers to fight demon-infested killers.
When everything seems to connect to her super-hot new boyfriend, Verona is determined to discover the truth before it kills her. Or anyone else she loves.
LAUGH OUT LOUD WITH VERONA AND HER FRIENDS, EXPERIENCE NEW LOVE, AND HOLD YOUR BREATH IN TERROR!
In HIGH: The Way of an Eagle, you'll dive with Verona through excruciating loss and soar with her...

I was completely drawn in by page 30. This is a smart read, not just for teens.
The young adult/teens in the novel are so real that I was brought right back to my high school years.
Fantasy and mystery are interwoven throughout the story along with ancient references that make this novel much deeper and richer than average for the genre.
A wonderful conversational storyteller with warm and complex character.
A great read for young adults and their parents.
I hope the sequel isn't far behind.

I loved this book. Not my normal genre, but the dialogue was fantastic. Also, even though I live with the author and had heard about the characters for some time, the plot twists still surprised me. I know Charlene has been diligently perfecting her craft and the next book will be even better!

I am not usually drawn to fantasy, but I am to mysteries, so I thought I'd give it a try when given the opportunity. I know I like what I'm reading when I think about the story after I put the book down, and this was the case here. The high school characters were believable, the plot took twists and turns that kept me interested, and the occurrences of when the eagle appeared kept me wanting to get back to the story when I put it down. Recommend!

"High" es una novela perteneciente al genero Young Adult, romance paranormal, considero que mas dedicado a personas mayores de edad.En la historia, Verona como personaje principal logra empatizar al lector y muchos podran identificarse con ella, disfrute de cada elemento en la historia, el que la trama posea tintes sobrenaturales te mantiene al margen del asiento esperando conocer mas de la historia.
El ritmo de la misma no da lugar a la monotonia. La narracion posee cierta mezcla de cristianismo y simbolismo, la escritora supo ajustar adecuadamente los momentos de referencias espirituales y te mantiene suponiendo o tratando de adivinar lo que sucedera y los detalles simbolicos anadieron mas autenticidad a la trama, las escenas han sido astutamente descritas.
High, the way of an eagle, no es un libro solo para jovenes ya que tiene un caracter lo suficientemente maduro con una linea narrativa muy bien escrita que todos podran disfrutar.Totalmente recomendable para personas que desean una lectura inteligente con misterio y fantasia, llena de referencias antiguas y personajes de mayor complejidad, no dejes de mostrarselo a tus padres si llegas a adquirirlo.
*La resenia fue publicada en mi blog desde agosto del presente, disculpen la tardanza por la actualizacion en esta red y gracias por todo Charlene Quiram*

Charlene Quiram weaves a story of spiritual battle with characters that come to life. The heroine and her friends are normal awkward teens in the midst of an otherworldly story line that keeps you captivated until the end. Can't wait for the sequel!!!
