It would have been better if Aurelious Forty had died.
Well that’s what he thinks, though he may not be thinking clearly. It’s hard to be rational when the world you just fell in love with, crumbles around you. But it’s his world and no matter how disastrous it has become, he still has to find a way to live in it.
The burden of Aurelious’ life is magnified when he discovers answers to questions he never wanted to ask and a reality he never imagined he would have to face. His life changes once again, and this time, there will be shattering, collateral damage. This time, someone won’t survive.
Dianna Beirne lives in a fantasy world. Okay not really, but part of her wishes she did and, since that’s technically impossible, she writes about fantasy worlds instead. Her first Young Adult novel entitled Aurelious Forty; Volume One quickly turned into her first Young Adult series with the addition of Aurelious Forty; Volume Two and, Aurelious Forty; Volume Three.
When not writing, she’s generally daydreaming which morphs into wondering if that last daydream could turn into a book. She has also recently discovered podcasts but doesn’t exactly understand what they are or why they’re different from regular radio shows. So it’s safe to assume that her next book won’t be about a podcast. Instead she’ll just keep listening to the ones that she finds that hilarious because laughing is one of her favorite pastimes and she finds way too many things funny!
Prior to dedicating her time to writing, Dianna taught undergraduate and graduate courses about using literacy in the elementary, middle, and high school classroom. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s degree in Literacy and a Doctorate in Education specializing in Curriculum and Teaching.
Dianna lives in New York and is the grateful mother of a son whom she misses terribly when he is away at college.
Ms. Beirne did not fail to impress. This was a great second installment in the Aurelious Forty series. Twists and turns and life lessons galore. Love, loss, patience, understanding, revenge, family, friendship, hatred, I can't think of a theme that wasn't covered, and they were all done with such beauty and affection. It is clear that Ms. Beirne truly cares for each and every character, event, and word she has written between the covers of this book. I now feel those connections. BRAVO. I cannot wait to read Volume 3.
OMG!!! OMG!!!! This book was better than the first! I found myself wanting to turn the page nonstop just to see what will happen next. This is a must read!! WHERE IS BOOK #3!!! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!
