I really enjoyed reading it!

It’s a very thrilling story and I loved how unexpected the ending was. A very well-written novel that I enjoyed reading a lot.
Rider and his father are attending the funeral of someone his father knew a long time ago. He doesn’t understand why his father has brought him here when he didn’t even know these people. Apparently the deceased was someone special to his father and now his father wants to help the family uncover secrets that are better forgotten.
Meri has just lost her mother. She is still in shock and grieving when she meets Rider. Suddenly, two youngsters are thrown together due to unexpected circumstances. It seems that Meri is in danger and for some reason Rider is appointed as her bodyguard. On the run, as they spend time together not only do they learn more about their past but also pave a path to their future, a future that neither of them had anticipated.
It’s a fast-paced novel. I liked the flow of it and the characters too. I think that it is a very good start to a promising series. Also, it is a bonus that the book can be read as stand-alone.

NOW FREE ON AMAZON – “Even though she finds her physical sight deprived as a result of her injuries, the sight she gains in this new world is greater than anything she ever could have lost.” – In Gray by Award Winning Author Sara J. Bernhardt

 


Daisy Carmichael’s life is forever changed after a devastating car crash.

Nobody remembers the boy who pulled her from the wreckage, the boy who saved her life.

She believed she was crazy.

That is, until the dreams started.

Raven

Delightfully thrilling fast read

Bernhardt’s award-winning series debut “In Gray” was surprisingly colorful and thrilling. YA readers, readers on the go, or busy readers squeezing in leisure time on their lunches will appreciate the frequent breaks and short chapters. Despite these breaks, I found myself unable to stop and put it down. Main character Daisy’s conflicts quickly spin out of control, following an interaction that any other person would call normal; that is to say, human. She’s in a horrible crash. That could happen to any one of us, right? What the reader won’t see coming is how this singular event gives way to a whole new world with individuals, societies, and even her own memories unfurling in ways that reveal that she’s no longer living in the world she always knew. Nothing will ever be the same again. Even though she finds her physical sight deprived as a result of her injuries, the sight she gains in this new world is greater than anything she ever could have lost. When I picked up this book, I was ready for a clean and tidy wrap-up, but I was delighted to find that Bernhardt left room for more excitement and drama. I can promise, Reader, you’re not going to guess the way this one ends. Pick it up and read it for yourself. Like me, you won’t want to wait to buy the sequel, “Monochrome.” I am not affiliated or endorsed by this author in any way and have nothing to gain from this review. I’m just an avid reader who stumbled across this author’s page via local reading/writing connections. Happy reading!

High school romance with a side of horror/mystery!

I really enjoyed this book!

Jane is a socially anxious high schooler who moves to her father’s home in Oregon to get away from a tragic family event. In Oregon, she is reunited with some childhood friends and meets the mysterious and attractive Aiden whom she falls in an uncertain love with. There is plenty of romantic tension between them and it seems a couple other boys may be jealous, adding to the tension.

The writing style is fun and easy to read, letting the reader discover and unravel past and current events and get to know the motivations of the main characters. There is plenty of romantic interest, action, and intrigue to engage the reader and leave them wanting more. The book will appeal to anyone wanting to read young adult romance and action horror/fantasy.

I look forward to the next book of the trilogy!

A good story that will pull you out of your world like fantasy should

Fantasy to me is about that moment you walk into someplace you may have once known, and discover something you never knew existed, and your mind begins to race with all the possibilities, and eventually impossibilities of the world just to try to rediscover that world beyond ours that is lost and sad and wonderful. In Gray begins with that classic kind of jarring experience, and leaves the reader with the certainty that more discovery is coming. An easy, but good story that will pull you in like fantasy should, but with characters that are normal and real. The story reminds me of Shadowhunters but the writing reminds me of James Patterson. My only negative was that maybe the reading level was so simple that it would be appealing to audiences a little too young, but that was only at first. I’ve watched more adult things with my two-year-old daughter on Netflix kids. And that’s saying something about Netflix Kids. Waiting for the next book.
