Pulse of Heroes on Tour! Spotlight and Giveaway
Pulse of Heroes
An Epic Tale of Immortals
A. Jacob Sweeny brings us an awesome tale in Pulse of Heroes. I am posting my review from when I read it before and the giveaway for a print copy is below, so be sure to enter.
Book Description:
A suspenseful, passionate, paranormal romance that sweeps through the emotions of first love and heartache as it traverses centuries and continents.
Michelle used to feel like she was behind in everything, especially school and relationships. Her great aunt from the old country says she is like a bland meal, "no salt or pepper". But in junior year, everything changes. Her father takes a position on the Town Council, a popular boy in school becomes interested in her, and most importantly, the Hekademos Learning Center, a private school for 'troubled' students, moves into her quiet neighborhood amidst the protests of the entire town.
After seeing the School Regent out with a group of young guys just before Christmas, Michelle is convinced that there is something odd about them. Her curiosity gets the better of her and she embarks upon a mission to figure out what is really going on. After an embarrassing fall over the school wall, Michelle meets Elliot and her ordinary ‘bland’ life changes its course forever.
Elliot is no ordinary human. In fact, no one at the Hekademos Learning Center is. Beautiful and fierce, they have survived throughout the millennia by weaving in and out of human events. Through them, Michelle learns that history and myths from around the world are dotted with references to their kind. Michelle falls madly in love with the ever-striking and mysterious Elliot and, as much as he tries to fight it, he develops strong feelings for her as well. Although Elliot carries numerous painful memories from his many pasts, he disregards his own better judgment and the advice of his friends, and finds himself falling for Michelle‘s offbeat personality. Their feelings grow in intensity, but when History catches up with them, the difference between their life paths threatens to destroy any future that they might have had together.
Michelle learns that there are infinite shades of gray between black and white, and has to deal with the bundle of contradictory emotions called love. After some unexpected twists during a family trip to Europe, she has to trust her intuition in order to face the danger and uncertainty of being drawn into Elliot’s wondrous world. Ultimately, it is up to Michelle to make the split-second, life-altering decision that will either tear them apart forever, or give them another chance.
My Thoughts:I read this book with very high expectations because there are tons of great reviews out there for Pulse of Heroes already and let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed one bit.Pulse of Heroes is a pretty long book, it’s about five hundred pages, and the first half is the story build up. We get to know Michelle and Elliot, and the other characters. The story begins to unfold page after page, and with each of those pages you are sucked deeper into the world of Pulse of Heroes. One thing I really liked about the first part was the setting. I am originally from the area in which the book is set and it made me miss home. Also, the ocean, several scenes in this book took place by the ocean, near a town I used to visit all the time as a child. It definitely brought back some memories for me.Anyhow, back to the book!Elliot is around 5000 years old. I can’t ever imagine being around that long. He and his friends, who are like his family, are all the same. They don’t die and they don’t age, no one really knows what they are. They are all super hot and full of knowledge from their long past’s. Michelle is young and conflicted in a lot of ways. I found Michelle, really, really grew on me throughout the book. She turns out to be stronger than she even realizes. When I hit part two, I literally did not put the book down unless I had to. (Which is often because I have five kids) The speed picks up and the adventures begin. I absolutely loved going to foreign countries with Michelle and Elliot and the others. Something else I admire about the writing in this book is that it is obvious how much effort was put into the research. A. Jacob Sweeny did a wonderful job with this novel and I am left wanting more! I can’t wait for the next in the series, Of Blood and Pulse to be released soon!
