ARR #5 - The Athena Effect by Derrolyn Anderson

[Samantha]

Genre: YA Urban Fantasy/Romance

Book Description:

Country girl Cali has been kept a secret her entire life, raised in isolation by two very troubled people. Despite her parent’s disturbing fits, Cal is perfectly content, living at one with the nature that surrounds her, and finding adventure inside the pages of her beloved books. When an awful tragedy tears her away from her remote cabin in the woods, nothing she’s ever read has prepared her for a world that she knows very little about.

Girls and motorcycles are what bad-boy Cal’s life is all about. Brought up in a raucous party house by his biker brother, he’s free to do as he pleases, going through the motions on his final days of high school. Aimless, Cal stopped thinking about his future a long time ago.

Attacked by a gang of thugs while running an errand for his brother, Cal is in serious trouble until a fierce girl appears out of nowhere to intervene. She chases off three grown men, sparing Cal a brutal beating before disappearing into the night like a spirit. He can’t stop thinking about his mysterious rescuer, and when she turns out to be the weird new girl at school who goes out of her way to avoid him, he can’t contain his curiosity.

He’s never met anyone like her before, and the more he learns about the unusual girl who shares his nickname, the more he wants to know. Cal can’t help falling for Cal, but can he keep her from falling victim to a dangerous enemy from her parent’s tragic past?

@Greta @Rachmi @Jen @Ivanna @Sunmi @Sarah... (And anyone else I've missed)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING & REVIEWING!!!
I check my Goodreads book pages every single day, and I've been having a wonderful time watching the reviews roll in. I love hearing all of your thoughts - especially as I'm knee deep into the sequel.
So, really truly, a great big ginormous THANKS for making my February a brighter one :)

And that goes double to Samantha for running this thread!

No pressure but I can't wait for the sequel, Ms. Anderson. Love Cali & Cal and want to read about Layla & Michael too.

[Derrolyn]

@ Rachmi - Definitely more in store for the twins! ;)

Yay...are you planning to release it this year too ;D ? And I really would love to read the story from Cali & Cal's POV is there any chance for you to write it? If you cannot write a full story, a novella is more than enough :D

I hadn't planned a whole book centering on the twins - I just meant that they figure into book #2 a lot more...

A change of POV would be interesting. I wrote my first book series in the first person, and wanted to try something different this time. Ahhh.... so many ideas, so little time.
I love the input :) wish me luck!

I believe in you Ms. Anderson, anything you write whether it is a whole story about Layla and Michael or not I don't mind at all. Moreover it's about Cali & Cal. I can't hardly wait!

My friend, Sarah told me that your first series is from first person POV. I'm going to read it next month since she told me it's as good as The Athena Effect and if you think The Athena Effect series better wrote from third person POV, then let it be. I mean, it's just because I'm dying to read Cali and Cal's thought I want to read from their POV :D but as I said, I believe in you. I wish you all the luck :)

Your first book series was Marina's Tales right? :) I want to read The Moon And The Tide so badly, but my parents don't really like buying books online. :/

[Sara]

Thanks for the book! I will get the review on amazon and smashwords asap.
