SCORPION

by Cindy Stone

It is said that when three powerful forces collide, the Heavens will be moved...

The day began as any other for Avery, the disillusioned and beautiful daughter of one of New York's wealthiest and most powerful men, without even a hint that she was about to tumble into a bizarre and mysterious series of events which would forever change her destiny.

Tired of New York City after a few weeks' visit, and craving to return to the Wu Dang mountain monastery and his lifelong teacher Monk Wao, martial arts expert Aiden Kane is thrust into a situation that will test his incredible skills to the utmost ... and his capacity for love.

Using the dark power of a ten thousand year old spell, Master Zheng will stop at nothing to claim possession of what he desires - first the sacred stones, rumored to have been forged from the orange-red dust of a long past star, then the girl whose soul he craves to possess, and finally domination of the world's oldest secret society which has now permeated so many world organizations.

I don't read a lot of young adult novels but have to say I found this one very enjoyable. A fantasy that works on a couple different levels, it features interesting characters, smart dialogue and a plot that keeps clipping along while keeping the reader engaged. Nice job!

Just finished reading Scorpion by Cindy Stone. What an incredible book, I couldn't put it down. Cindy, your writing is wonderful, the story left me breathless, I can't wait to read the next in the series. People, you HAVE GOT TO read this book!

[Jennie Rosenblum · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the continuing wave of great Young Adult novels, this book easily holds its own. The main character, Avery, a young adult who has been raised in a very privileged New York environment, quickly pulls you into her world. You would think life would be calm but there is a lot going on under the surface. Mystics, a fringe friend who foresees Avery's life in her dreams, a young martial arts expert, and a ten thousand year old spell carry the plot along. There are some interesting minor characters as well. Norman the bore man - every young woman's groan and a special needs neighbor help give the story a realistic feel. While this is first book in the series, it does stand alone very well.

This novel was exciting, as you turn each page the story unfolds into an adventure that has you racing to the next chapter. You become engulfed into a magical and bewitching world, that has your heart pumping as the drama intensifies.

The characters Avery and Aidan take to on an adventure to uncover dark secrets hiding in the shadows of New York while trying to untangle the meaning of their electrifying connection.

You really need to get your hands on this novel, I promise you, you won't be able to put it down.

This book had a really nice and steady balance to it. This book was full of drama, suspense and action. It was jam packed into every single page and was a joy to read.
