About the author

I was inspired to write my first book by my niece. She loves to read so much that I started thinking of a story she would enjoy. It exploded from there. Writing has become a passion for me, especially young adult stories. When I'm not writing or being mom, you can usually find me with a blanket and a book, ignoring everyone (and if I have any luck- a cup of coffee in hand :) I'm always trying to find a way to make my stories and writing better so I love feedback!

The story line was good and it picked up momentum early on. My only complaints are the number of typos, at one point valyn's name wasn't even valyn, it was sophie and I had to stop and think for a second to realize it was just the wrong name typed in, not some random character. There were several sentences through out that I would have to re-read because they didn't make sense due to typos such as He instead of heard and so on. A good proof reading would really help. Also, the ending....VERY rushed. I kept thinking "no way can she wrap this up in the next 2 pages" but yep...*****spoiler***** want to live here, sure, ok,....the end. It just was a disappointing ending, I realize there might be a 2nd one....but it doesn't change the fact of how this one was rushed.

Decent read

The story line and back drop where excellent, but that's where the good stops. The two main characters fall in love in literally two or three days. I know running for your life forces intimacy but it was just too fast. Also it was way to easy to kill her uncle. He has an entire group of people afraid of him, but a young adult with two days of combat training kills him.

I won't say it was a bad story, but it was definitely fantasy in every sense of the word.

It was a really laid back story and I did enjoy it. It was so PG though, it wasn't even funny. I liked the characters, they were easy to get to know, perhaps too easy. It seemed as if we never went back far enough into the past, we as readers were just suppose to be happy with what we got. The ending made the story seem incomplete.

This book wasnt as good as i was expected. The romance was small and the fighting action was minimal. Also the one day of training where she couldnt even knock her teacher off his feet seemed to enable her to kill???!!!! Was very clean and sutable for all realy.

Great characters, Valyn and Barett are off to a great start. I hope to hear more about their past and future. Of course with drama mixed in.
