Excerpt:
She
traced a circle in the sand with her finger.
Why
would she disclose her whole existence to someone she’d just met? Someone who
talked so little about himself that she found herself talking to fill the void.
Saying things she could barely admit in her own head.
His
hand covered hers. “I’m lonely, too. Getting to know you this week has been the
brightest point in my life and I don’t want you to leave, but I know the only
place you’ll be safe is far away from me.”
She
swallowed. He had read her mind.
He
lay down on his back and closed his eyes. “Cali, you know when you hear a song
for the first time and you kind of ingest it? You can’t possibly know right
away that it will be one of your favorite songs for the rest of your life. A
classic.”
“Yeah.”
She hoped he was going somewhere good with this.
“That
first listen,” he continued, “you pick up a little of the melody and some
lyrics that catch you. But when the song ends, you have to hear it again
because you want to memorize all the words and sing along. After you hear it a
few times and learn the words inside and out, then you begin to let the melody
seep inside you. Next thing you know, you’ve completely digested the song and
find yourself humming it while you are doing nothing, like shaving or driving
your car. Finally, the song becomes so ingrained it becomes a part of you.
Forever. You can recall it and it’s with you whenever you need it. Am I making
any sense?”
She
nodded, blinking back the tears fighting to fall.
“Cali,
I don’t want you to go back because you’re my favorite song.”
I
was a little leery when I first started reading this book because I thought it
was going to degenerated into stereotyping and gratuitous violence based on the
opening scenario, but I was happily mistaken.
The story explores the human struggle for belonging, love, and
overcoming loneliness against the backdrop of the fight for good and evil. The main characters are flawed people who
struggle to find their place and to stay true to their mission to protect the
world. Even those who are supposed to be
“perfect” are flawed, and those who are evil can surprise you with an
underlying goodness.
The
back story mythology was fascinating. I
loved how the author brought in the back story and tied in several other
historical mythologies to create a culture.
I
give this story 5 out of 5 clouds.

Thanks so much for the review, Mindy! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book and WELCOME to my Street Team!!!
