Book Title: Genesis (The XII Saga #1)
Link to Book: Genesis
Number of copies available: 20 (Epub, mobi, pdf)
Genre of Book: Dystopian, Paranormal, Action
Reader Age Range: 13+

Synopsis:
A century after the world was predicted to end, it was indeed reborn. Under the leadership of the Overseer of New Earth, minds were united, diseases were cured, and the Earth was healed when population centers minimized mankind’s footprint, and the remainder of the planet was turned over to the will of nature. War was eradicated, the world embraced one religion, and the New Era began.

But darkness rises now, mistaken for a mere shadow cast by the bright light of human progress. It is the time of which the ancients foretold. It is the time when all things must end. It is the time of The Twelve.

Six men and six women representing all creeds and colors are supernaturally gifted, but the unlikeliest of heroes. They are barely adults by the world’s standards, but still they are called.

Only they can stand against the growing darkness – but will they stand together?

XII: Genesis is the first installment of an eight-book series in the Young Adult / New Adult genres. If action excites you, if the supernatural intrigues you, and if love compels you - then you are invited to join The Twelve in their fight against the growing darkness that threatens New Earth!

Jessica | 7 comments I have started the first chapter and I already do not enjoy the sexual references that the story has. Is this the only part of the story that is like this? Do I have to continue to read the story?


message 13: by Riya (new)

Riya Jessica, we would appreciate it if you continued and finished the story. If you truly don't like it at the end then you can write the review about that, but you definitely should finish what you started.
