Caitlin Riddler Makes A Wish

by Suzanne Jefferies

Be careful what you wish for... When Caitlin Riddler wishes for the hottest date at the Spring dance, she doesn’t think he will fall out of the sky. Or that he will be less than human. Caitlin Riddler wants the hottest of hot dates for the Liberty High Spring dance, and she does not mean Andy Ellis, the boy next door. That’s when a pod-sized spaceship crashes into her Aunt Rusty’s basement. One silver seed escapes, sprouting Xavier – intergalactic hitch hiking soul sucking demon. Caitlin is the answer to his feeding dreams. But she is impervious to his demony ways. He infiltrates the home Caitlin shares with her Aunt Rusty and her non-identical twin Joss. As Caitlin continues her quest for THE date, she unwittingly unravels the truth about her past. As her foundation begins to crack, Xavier is only too happy to pick up the pieces and start his slow destruction of her loved ones. That’s when Caitlin discovers that she has more in common with Xavier than just eyeliner. Caitlin Riddler Makes A Wish is a paranormal young adult novel, the first in The Liberty Series. Get it now!

About the author

Also writing as SFL Jefferies.

I’m an author who loves to write stories that dig into the darker side of life. Some sexy, some spooky, some not.

I was dead chuffed when my novel, The Joy of Comfort Eating, won the 2016 ROSA Imbali Award for excellence in romance writing, and in 2011, my paranormal novella, The Hunt, won the Mills & Boon Voice of Africa competition. I mostly loved that the name ‘Delaney Delacouer’ ended up in print. Because a name like that deserves to be a dashing, romantic hero.

I’m back to writing paranormal YA novels which was where I started out - funny how life goes.

My home’s in Johannesburg, South Africa and, right now, I wouldn’t want it anywhere else.

[Joan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really really enjoyed this book. The story was relate-able in its setting of a typical high school and the angst, popularity contests, miscommunications and everyday issues of a teenage girl. I loved that the protagonist was not only an 'average' teenage girl interested in boys and acceptance among her peers, but that she was intelligent and driven in her pursuit of physics as a hobby and future career path. This made for a nice change.
The paranormal take was also enjoyable as a new twist on any regular high school romance story. The author did a good job of including the family and its dynamics too. This means the book has something for everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing how Caitlin's story unfolds in the next book!
