So, I write. I am an author. I have been since I was about five, only now I get to say it for real (this makes me very happy). I love words, coffee, reading and I am happiest when combining all of the above.

Synopsis:
Scarlett Roth loves nothing more than to immerse herself in
a good book. So, the tale of a modern-day witch hunt and a sinister adversary
threatening to irrevocably alter a young girl’s life forever should be the
perfect story in which to lose herself. Unfortunately for her; she’s the girl,
the threat is real and she will unearth one of the modern world’s greatest
secrets – the witch trials are not over, they have evolved.
Scarlett’s life is thrown upside down when she starts having terrifying visions. Her only comfort in a strange new town comes in the form of enticing and popular Jake; but the more she learns about her ‘power’, the more she realizes her interest in him is drawing unwanted attention of the darkest kind.

Sweet Reads Review:

With the move, comes a new school. Scarlett’s first day at school begins a domino
effect of strange events. She experiences these weird visions that start to
come true. …this can’t be good! As with
any high school setting, you have the popular girls, the nerds, the jocks, the
bookworms and the weird kids. She’s not
sure how or who she is going to fit in with.
Enter two quirky ladies, Lydia and Taylor. They take her in and give her
the rundown of the land...but as she is taking it all in, her eyes land on the
ever so gorgeous, Jake Mayer. There is an instant attraction to him and he even
seems to notice her….and he NEVER notices the girls. The friendship that
blossoms between these two is very sweet. As they become closer friends, Jake
notices when Scarlett has these “visions” and truly starts to worry about
her. What is going on with her, why are
they happening?
She soon finds herself trying to figure it all out, never
bothering her mother with this small little detail of her life, but immersing
herself in books trying to figure out her “condition”. Soon she is on a path that takes her straight
into the world of the Salem Witch Trials, something that happened over 300
years ago. Could there really be a connection?
The drama that is left to unfold is exciting and dangerously
scary all at the same time! I will admit I was turning the pages faster and
faster as I went through the book. Ms. Keen did a great job portraying her
character as smart kids, not the “deer-in-the-headlights type. I was pleasantly
surprised by this book and am actually looking forward to book two, Ashes!

ReplyDeleteCamera Five is an awesome paranormal book by Martyn Stratton, but I would say that Amy's books are paranormal too so those have to be my favourite, i can't wait for Pheonix to be released!
