I am a defective writer that writes. I have an MFA in creative writing. Being dyslexic: Writing was never something I thought I would make a living at. Writing isn’t only about crossing your T’s and dotting your I’s. It’s about storytelling and doing it in all the best ways. I love Jane Austen, tattoos, sarcasm, quick wit, gardening, all things Harry Potter, being a writing coach, and a happy ever after.
Check out my adult romance series: The Awakener series, The Verbecks of Idaho series, The Managing Mayhem series, and coming soon, my new YA novel D IS FOR DEFECTIVE.

I swear....I honestly swear that I am NOT being biased.
This is now added to one of my All Time Favorite reads of 2015.
I loved the characters and clicked with each one...I couldn't wait to find out what happened.
The character development in this book was FAN FUCKING TASTIC! I loved the strength and personality of all the characters and can't wait for the next book in this series!!
In this book, Darren is sent to rescue The Seer from the mental institution. There is a lot of action in this story. A fight at the hospital, an unexpected passenger on the trip home, the fights between Darren and Gaven, the mystery concerning the baby, the discovery of the purpose of key players, the meaning of the title, Oblivion and of course, the shocking conclusion of this book that keeps you begging for more. The descriptions of these events are so nicely detailed the reader can easily "see" the action. And when minds are unlocked and explode with memories and forgotten information, it is captivating. This author has a gift to telling a story so outside our experience but able to paint it with words that brings it to life in our imagination. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Five Stars.
~~~~~~~~~~Amanda's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
I loved the first book in this series and I fell in love with this book as well. The first book was the bonding of Gavin and Leora. This book is the bonding of the Darron and Tabitha.
This book was very intriguing as well, and kept me on edge throughout. There were a few parts that had some humor to them, but throughout it was suspenseful.
The fight to be able to make your own choices and to trust someone is a battle that Tabitha fights daily. She has always been obedient and done what she's supposed to do.
Can she go against what she is supposed to do? Can she take a stand and help instead of hurt Leora?
I edited the 2nd book of the Awakener Series and I must tell you that it's one of the most entertaining fantasy book released by an Indie Author - and it's not only due to my editing mojo. :) The story and the characters are well developed.
The Awakener Series is the story of Leora, the Awakener of Souls and her Circle of Advisors. The most powerful soul ever created, her task is to bring souls back to their life purpose. If you're feeling depressed, unfulfilled and unhappy, that means that Leora has not awakened and has been unable to do her job. You are not in your rightful path in life. That's the thing.... Leora and her Advisors can die, they're reborn and they need to be awakened first. Otherwise, they are driven to madness by the visions and memories of their past lives. They're like angels in a sense, guiding our life journeys. Without them, many of us become Lost Souls.
Awaken, Book 1, is the story of Leora's awakening. The Council of Souls, the demons in this case, try to prevent that and have succeeded in killing Leora before she awakened to her powers - for many lifetimes. It's the story of her reunion with Gavin, a Leecher, and unknown to her, the man she's bonded with. A couple who's bonded are destined to find each other through eternity. Theirs is a love that transcends time and space. When they find each other, they can tap into each other's powers and strengthen the other.
Oblivion, is the story of Darron, Leora's brother and a Hunter, and the awakening of their mother, Rachel, the Seer. Leora needs to complete her Circle of Advisors so they can face the Council of Souls and remove them from power. While rescuing Rachel, Darron meets Tabitha. They don't know what her purpose is and why she was guarding Rachel. The story revolves around their unlikely relationship and the challenges they had to resolve. To add more spice and suspense to the story, Leora is pregnant, and her child was foreseen to bring about something nobody wants. Yeah, I can't tell you more.
This series is a page turner and an enjoyable read. There is no scene that is not relevant to the story, and it just flows. Before you know it, you're looking for the next book. It's a fantasy, a spicy romance and a supernatural adventure. The characters are endearing and the love stories of the bonded couples are touching. While editing, I shed tears in some scenes. Their stories awakened something in me. The need for a love that will endure anything.
Highly recommended. Awaken is free on Amazon and other book retailers. Book 3 is on its way.

This series would make an awesome movie.I didn't plan on buying any books this year but had to get this one! Great storyline and strong characters. I got a little bored in certain areas, but the story made up for it. Will recommend.
