Review:

Eve is a normal 17 year old girl who has plenty of dreams in life and is working hard in school to make sure she can make them come true but when she is involved in a coach crash she discovers things will never be the same again. Eve is introduced to a world of powers, guardians, evil and much more but above all she is introduced to a prophecy that has told of her being the one to save the world. With her world turned upside down and her life at home gone after a fire she must learn to trust those set to protect her and figure out just what she is capable of before it is too late or she has destroyed everything she was sent to save.

First off let me just say this is a book that has very much lived up to the hype and a massive congratulations to Holly Martin on an amazing book. The story is told magnificently and manages to have many fantastical things going on that don't seem out of place thanks to the way in which the author puts them to the reader. The characters all stand out well as having their own individuality which is impressive when you consider what a tight group they are in the book. I think that for any author this would be impressive but to learn it is the first book the author has had published is a massive hope of much to come.

This is a book I heard a lot of hype about and it lived up to the hype. It is a book I really did love and one I will be telling others about as it is one of the stand out ones of the genre for me.

Claude Bouchard interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I’m Claude Bouchard, born, raised, and still living in the Montreal (Canada) area. In a prior life, I worked in the corporate world, mainly in human resources management. In 2008, my employer moved our jobs to India and, while I pursued other employment, I published three books I had written long before then continued to write and publish more. Along the way, I realized I had a new job, that of author, and never looked back.  When did your love of books begin? While in kindergarten, my parents had signed me up for a book of the month thing and I remember the excitement whenever a new book showed up in the mail. I moved on to the Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, etc. and have never stopped reading since.  When did you start to have the wish to become an author? In 1995, I had an idea for a book and wrote  Vigilante  in eight weeks. I followed up with two others in the same series over the next year or two, even did some agent querying but eve
