Marni (wonderwmn999) The group would like to welcome author Lisa M. Green for a Read 4 Review of her book The First, a fantasy novel.

A tale of myth, mystery ... and a past long forgotten ...

Something is out there.

And the people live in constant fear.

But their biggest threat lies within their own village. Everyone and everything is dying, slowly and without hope of salvation.

In a world where almost nothing is truth and isolation is the purest form of self-deception, the possibility of hope exists only in the heart and mind of a young woman who chooses to follow an unknown path in order to save everyone she knows and loves. Before long, she discovers that her most vital beliefs are based on a deception that will rock the foundation of her entire people. To save them, she must learn to open her heart and sacrifice…everything.

You may think you have heard this story before, but be warned.

You haven’t.

The author will be providing 10 copies in epub, mobi and PDF formats. To request, please just post your email address and format needed. It is your responsibility to check for the book and download it. It is also your responsibility to contact me immediately if you do not receive the book or have a problem. In exchange for the free book, the author requests an honest review of their book not just on Goodreads, but also on Amazon USA, UK, and any of your blogs or reviewing sites. Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post your Goodreads link to it on this thread.

Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical, disrespectful and illegal to share books provided to you for reviews.

This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This is for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers.

Lisa M. Green (lisamgreen) Thanks, Dominique! The Amazon link sends me to my profile instead of the book, but that may be something to do with it being Amazon CA. The link that works for me is http://www.amazon.ca/review/R3NAIACT8....

Again, I really appreciate your R4R!

I'm sorry I didn't like it, tell me if you'd rather I don't put my review on amazon


message 34: by Lisa (new) - added it

Lisa M. Green (lisamgreen) Hey Zoe!
I’ll take some time to think on that and give you an answer soon. I would like to clarify (since this is a YA/NA group and to avoid further confusion) that the protagonist in my novel is actually around 20 years old. I understand if you were not sure on that as it is not directly stated. It states her age in their years and then explains how old she actually is in our years and how they age much slower. However, I apologize if that wasn't clear to you. A friend of my daughter thought the exact same thing until the part where it says her grandmother is up and around at 134 years old and that they marry starting at age 28. If more people get to the end of the book and experience the same issue, I will need to address this since I don’t want to confuse my readers. If it isn't clear enough, I certainly want to hear feedback (as much as it stings sometimes!). Thank you for your insights, and I’ll get back to you soon.
