Fireflight

by Gregory Grayson

Last year, J.J. was an ordinary teenager. All he wanted was to spend time with his friends and become a famous rock star. Then the creatures of legend and myth returned to Earth in a world-wide cataclysm. Humans, forced to rebuild, suddenly had to learn to live among elves, fairies, dwarves, and magic. Society lost its power and technology, but J.J. lost his mother, the one person he could never live without. Now there’s a chance she’s still alive, trapped in another dimension, and J.J.’s dad is determined to get her back. Father and son must venture across a deadly landscape, never sure if they’ll even survive the journey, or each other. J.J. will have to fight for everything he holds dear, but if he can learn to have faith, he may just save what was lost, and discover what kind of man he’s going to become in these uncertain new days of Earth.

[Trey Decker · Rating 5 out of 5]

After being gifted this book, I was drawn in and read through this riveting tale quickly. I distinctly remember wanting to jump into the next book, so I can say I'm excited to get into it when it's released.

The story is compelling, and I found myself loving J.J., and also enjoying his acknowledgement of his quirks and shortcomings in a time that he must quickly mature and learn a new world.

For anyone who has an interest in the fantasy genre, or a compelling coming-of-age story, I'd highly recommend this read.
