Incarnate

It has Renée looking at everything differently. From awakening dreams to her feelings for Gage, everything is changing so fast. Secrets are being revealed, and danger grows closer with each day. Graduation is the last thing on her mind. The Unseelie Queen, who had killed her for the past few centuries repetitively, is after her again. This time armed with memories, friends, and the Seelie Fae court, would she be able to escape death? (The first of the Incarnate Triology.)

Reviews

[Sandra Easter]

I'm not going to rate my own book. This is the first in a trilogy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

[S.A. Gibson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting story about a teen whose ordinary life undergoes a dramatic change. This story has some elements that remind me of Twilight. But Renée is more assertive than Bella. We follow Renée's ordinary life as a senior in high school for several chapters. This is a good contrast to the events that unfold when she must confront a strange new world. This story contained a good explanation of why she can do well in the new world. Many fantasy stories are very mysterious about why a normal teen can handle encounters with a completely different reality. That issue is handled well with Renée. When I finished I had to immediately pick up the next book, to find how the cliffhanger is resolved. Give it a try, you might find a new fantasy author to follow

Did Not Finish

The main reason I didn't finish this book was because of the writing style—it felt very stiff, detached, and awkward. Everything was typed out in short, awkward sentences—even the dialogue! I think the dialogue is what really got me. All of the characters spoke as if they were freakin' robots. I do think that, from the sounds of the summary, the plot DOES have potential. The sentence fluency is just difficult to read, which is a shame. I had been looking forward to getting into this book, but I just can't bring myself to finish it.
