Leah Parker’s fate had always been controlled by others—who she loved and who she lost. Five years after the tragic murder of her daughter’s father, she’s done everything in her power to protect her little girl from the outside world. But she’s rebelled against fate in the past and no act of defiance goes unpunished in the Enchanter community. The ultimate power wants to correct the damage done by Jae and the only way they can do that is by getting rid of her special child—a child destined to replace all branches of Enchanter magic one day. But, Leah isn’t willing to go down without a fight. She will do anything to save what Jae died to protect, even if she must turn against the Circle of Elders. But when her first love, Brandon Morris walks back into her life, Leah knows nothing will ever be the same again. Leah must confront her past, before she and her daughter are erased from her family line. She must get over her guilt and rely on Brandon to ensure her daughter’s survival. But will the pain from their past destroy their friendship forever? Or will their old bond hold them together and carry them through what’s ahead?

Her passion for writing stems from a lifelong enjoyment of reading and the pleasure derived from the magical worlds created by authors like her. She prefers her female leads strong, independent, and stubborn who will stop at nothing to save their loved ones and protect those they care for.

It has been five years since Leah watched her little girl’s father killed right in front of her eyes. Leah’s little girl is special and has special powers that others would like to snuff out. Leah keeps her little girl in hiding all the time from the Circle of Elders and others that want to take her little girls powers or her life.
When a dark and evil creature steps back into their lives wanting to destroy Leah’s little girl and Leah as well she will do whatever it takes to keep her little girl safe. She will go up against anyone who gets between her and her daughter.
An old friend of Leah’s also steps by into her life when her daughter is assigned a protector. This old friend and protector is none other than her lifelong friend and ex-boyfriend Brandon Morris. Leah has always trusted Brandon but she is not sure if she trust him with her daughter’s life but what choice does she have.
Leah is not sure how everything is going to go with Brandon with everything that they have gone through together in the past she has hurt and left him numerous of times. Can they leave everything in the past and push through it long enough to save her little girls life?
Even though I enjoyed reading the first two books in the Giver of Life Trilogy Enchanter and Enchantress I would have to say that I really loved book three Prodigy so much better. The character’s feelings just seemed to come out more with deeper and stronger feelings for each other. Maybe they just had more to fight for.
Prodigy is filled with action and magic from beginning to end. Prodigy like Enchanter and Enchantress will pull you in on the first page and will not let go until you have read the last page. It will fill you with all of its magical glory. I loved all the characters especially Leah, Brandon, Jae and Lily. I kept seeing it play out in my head like a movie.
I don’t usually do this but I kept picturing the characters in my head and I thought about whom I would chose to play some of the characters. I kept seeing Gillian Alexy (Outsiders) as Leah, Blair Redford (The Gifted) as Brandon, Christopher Larkin (The 100) as Jae, and Pixie Davies as Lily.
I would recommend Prodigy to all fans of the paranormal with lots of magic and action and a little love on the side.
