FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS…TOTALLY not what I expected. PLEASANTLY surprised and CAN’T WAIT to read the next in the series. Who would have thought I would not have been able to put down another young adult fiction within the same week?! I seriously was impressed that I could not stop reading until I was done, and surprising to me I could really connect with 13 year old Renee, but then again, she did have an old soul. I was constantly on the edge wondering what was going to happen next to Renee, her neighbor doctor, and her best friend Sam with nearly every chapter!  I was totally thrown off when the story unfolded its pieces because I don’t believe one piece was what I really expected it was going to be…and that ending?! Oh you better believe I want to get a copy of the next book!

THE GIVEAWAY…Thanks to the author, we’re giving away two of her ebooks (CYCLES and TREASURE HUNTERS) as well as a collection of magnets made from sandstone only found in southern Utah (by Zion’s National Park.) The magnets are connected to the book Treasure Hunters. This giveaway runs now through the end of February, ending at 11:59pm February 29 and is open to all US mailing addresses.

To enter the contest…answer this question…

If you were given the opportunity to be saved at the last minute before death by having a blood transfusion, would you take it not caring what type of life that transfusion might give you in the long run?

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
