Ariala

by Taylor Biechy

Lexi Sherrif is an angel from Ariala, a place filled with angels, hellhounds, dragons, and more. With war on the horizon, her father sends her to live with her mortal mother, step-father, and step-brother for her protection. As she quickly finds her footing in the United States, she bonds with her brother Callum, make’s new friends, joins the soccer team, and hits it off with Callum’s best friend, Jamie. Living a year like this might not be so bad if it wasn’t for Dayton Charles, a “bad boy” with a rough reputation who happens to be a dark spot from Lexi’s past. When secrets about Dayton’s life in the United States start to unravel so does Lexi. Now after deciding to return home to the war, Lexi is faced with possible heartbreak and learning who she can trust to know everything…if they can believe it.

Rated—PG-13 (my personal opinion based on content)

Woot woot! Well done, Taylor Biechy! Despite the fantasy genre of the book, the characters are ridiculously relatable. Who knew angels, werewolves, sirens, and hellhounds could be so realistic?? So even if fantasy isn’t your usually genera, give this one a go!

nice work for the first book!

Taylor is a very smart and talented young woman. Her writing abilities are original and satisfying. I know she has written more, and I intend to read the next book she has written.

So this is written more for a teenage reader. I’m not into hellhounds, were wolfs and angels fighting for their country.
