Hey all! I just finished Spirit Lake by Tamar Hela. It is the first novel in her series and over all its pretty good. Her story is about six teenagers from nothern california that are assigned a project for school. They end up on Cantelia and find that there is a dark ruler that placed a curse over the native people of the island Sikuku Island. The teens agree to help them break the curse so that they can come back to earth.
The novel is strong. She brings together two different genres and blends them together seamlessly. I am truly impressed by her writing talent.I believe that this is an author with a very bright future ahead of her. For now Trisha Signing off.

Review for ProtoStar By Braxton A. Cosby
Hey all, I just got done with reading ProtoStar by Braxton A. Cosby. First off I have to say that when I got the email asking if I would like to review another of Mr Cosby's novels I jumped at the chance to review it. I knew that I would not be disappointed and I wasn't. Mr Cosby has a way of creating characters that are so lifelike and story lines that are strong and intense, I found myself not wanting to stop reading. I will add the blurb from the back of the book so that you all can draw your own conclusions.
On the brink of civil war, the Torrian Alliance continues with its mission to obliterate Star-children across the universe in order to suppress an intergalactic evil. Following the recommendations of his council, King Gregorio Derry reluctantly agrees to send his only son William on a mission to restore honor to his family name. William seeks to complete his assignment, the elimination of a Star-child named Sydney on planet Earth, but when the assassination is delayed he begins to realize an emotional connection with his target. With conspiracy threatening his home planet, and a hidden menace on Earth seeking to secure a vested interest, William finds himself torn between irrevocable duty and sacrificing everything he stands for to defend Sydney. As William and Sydney struggle to overcome their impossible circumstances, they start to wonder if the connection of two Star-Crossed lovers will be enough to save them from certain doom.
I will admit I am not a huge fan of books involving space and aliens but this book did impress me. I think after this I just might start looking in the science fiction section of my library more often. I am highly recommending this novel to anyone that has had issues getting into Science fiction novels or anyone that just wants a really intense and wonderful read. Also this is a romance science fiction novel. I will also say that i usually have a hard time reading romance but this wasn't dripping with romance. I truly have to tip my hat to Mr Cosby for putting two of my least favorite genres together and making it amazing. I look forward to reading more from him, and I think he is becoming one of my favorite authors. I highly suggest you check out his books. That's all for now, Trisha Signing off.
