REVIEW: by Jaded Rating: 3 Tombstones Dawn is on her way to an amusement park with her friends from Rolling Hills Ranch. The weatherman promised a glorious day that never appears as she bounces along in the back of a pick-up truck. When they break at a rest stop, they encounter a stranded driver that sends them on a course of events no one could have predicted. Dawn later awakens in a room, knowing something has happened to her friends but unable to remember her name. As she slowly puts the pieces of her life together, she begins to remember things that she has not been able to remember for a long time. She realizes she has been waiting for her family and other members of The Hunt to find her. Stayn is Dawn's childhood friend who has been searching for Dawn since they were separated. When they reunite, things have changed in some very unexpected ways and they struggle to find the trust that was once their strongest bond. They are both children of the Hunt and must find the others to gather their forces and destroy the evil Gahlmorag. I enjoyed the story line but felt like I walked into the middle of a conversation and missed something important in the beginning. I was well into the book before I was able to piece it together enough to peak my interest. However, it did come together in the end and I am ready to follow the characters into their next adventure. |
The Hunt: Refugees from a despot who has overrun their world, a group of children are sent to Earth through a rip in time and space ... and are separated by time. They must first find each other before they can go home and save their world.
Who are the Hunt? Children sent from an endangered world in another universe/dimension of reality, to protect them from a despot who wants to command their Talents. Given into the keeping of the Hounds of Hamin, the members of the Hunt have been separated by time as well as distance. They know each other by the scars -- rows of teeth marks -- on their wrists. Some have been in our world for decades, others have only been here for a few years. They have to find each other -- and soon, before more enemies show up to destroy them -- and find a way back home to save their world.

Cinden agrees to go to Wolcott's home to meet her alleged brothers and sister, and find out what's happening. What she discovers is a decades-old plot of treachery that threatens the Hunt.

DAWN MEMORIES Dawn has been alone for 6 years, growing up in an orphanage, waiting for her family to show up. Waiting for Stayn, her betrothed, her best friend. But a crime boss who thinks Dawn has information stolen from him might just stop her quest before it has a chance to start.
the EPIC Award winners will be announced in March 2013 at EPICon in Vancouver. Stay tuned for updates! BUTTERFLY Beth is a member of the Hunt, but she has forgotten, until freak weather patterns catch her attention during a summer internship at a government weather station. As she remembers who and what she is, she sets out to remake herself, to be ready for danger and whatever the battle against Gahlmorag might require, when the Hunt begins to gather. When she returns to school in the fall, she is no longer a dumpy, badly dressed, almost invisible sophomore. The butterfly has emerged from her chrysalis and is ready for trouble -- but it comes from the people around her, not Gahlmorag. Her ally against the enmity of her peers in the Gifted and Talent program is Tommy DiCorsi, supposedly a "bad boy" with a reputation to match. But under his all-black clothes beats the heart of a hero. Is it enough to keep them both alive when another member of the Hunt appears and turns Beth's life upside down -- and possibly revealing an enemy who has been keeping watch on her all this time?
