Reviews Tour: Excerpt: Aqua by M.A. George

Aqua

By- M.A. George

Genre- YA Paranormal

Publication Date- April 16th, 2014

Meet Layla McKelland:  

Novelist (unpublished, but cut her some slack…seventeen is a bit early to despair),

Slightly neurotic introvert (Alright, let’s be honest…there’s no “slightly” about it),

International Woman of Mystery, and…

Okay, just scratch the bio.

The only real “mystery” in Layla’s life is why her father has never been on the scene.  Or why her mother drags Layla to a new coastal home every year.

Nothing about the latest hometown seems too newsworthy…until a routine day at the beach leaves Layla questioning whether she’s read one too many paranormal fantasy novels.  The plot thickens when a random guy claims to know things about her father—a bizarre claim he backs up with an equally impossible stunt.  And Layla soon finds herself on the wrong side of a mysterious attempted drowning…on her own kitchen floor.

When all is done, Layla will attest that fact is far stranger than fiction.  And nothing in real life is ever as transparent as it seems…Not even water.

Especially not water.

Life Blood

By- H.K. Savage

Genre- YA/Paranormal Romantic Suspense

What if we knew how to live forever? Is any cost too great?

Ava Brandt has been plagued with indecision her entire life; her direction influenced by the people around her, not her heart. When a chance encounter with a stranger challenges everything she thought she remembered from her frightening past, she must confront hidden memories to survive.

Ben Pearson, descendant of a famous physician, is living proof of his ancestor’s miraculous discovery two hundred years ago. Through a combination of blood transfusions from unsuspecting donors, he uncovered his own fountain of youth. As an unwilling convert, Ben continues to fight for those who are dying; their murderers content to kill innocents to prolong their own lives, no matter the human cost.

Finally accepting the truth of her past and the dreams that have plagued her, Ava comes face to face with her fears. But just as she comes to terms with this new reality and new feelings for her ageless rescuer, she finds herself in the middle of a battle that has raged and claimed untold young lives for centuries.

REVIEW

A thrilling read that flowed right off the pages and kept me hooked from the get go. I was expecting something a little different, but I was thoroughly intrigued by the “paranormal” element of this story and its immortal beings.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters and learning more about their condition. Ava and Ben’s relationship was interesting, and I was excited to see how it would develop, especially after the truth about Ava’s childhood was revealed.

This book was well paced, giving the reader enough time to get to know the characters before it became a race against evil, as the doctor and his goons played a game of cat and mouse with Ava and Ben. With plenty of exciting twists and turns that drew me in, I could not put this book down. It was a fascinating read with a uniqueness that was enthralling.
