I understand that a lot of people don't want to risk wasting time on an indie book with few reviews, but we have to start somewhere. I've put in the time and money to ensure this book isn't riddled with spelling/grammar/typo errors (I've paid for professional editing), I've had my cover professionally reviewed, and I'm not rushing anyone into reviews. I just want people to give my book a chance. If Paranormal fiction isn't your thing, that's fine, but casting my book aside altogether because you've heard it's indie I feel is a bit unfair. So if you're reading this and you might be willing to give my book a review, please find my spoiler-free summary below (it's not the same as the blurb):
This book is set in a world much like our own with secret shifter societies. The protagonist, Divina LeBeau, has no idea these societies exist, much less that she's the heiress of one their royals. Divina has spent the last 17 years of her life surviving one tragic raincloud after another -- the result of an alleged curse on the LeBeau bloodline -- and just when it seems things can't get any worse, a ray of sunshine beams down on her and her family in the form of Satrina Loukas, her grandmother's long-lost sister. The only problem is, no one in the family has ever heard of this woman. Given no other choice than to put suspicions aside and hope for the best, Divina reluctantly accepts Satrina's offer and flies from Louisiana to the foothills of North Carolina in a small rural town called Healing Spring. Sure, the town is small, but when she arrives at the Loukas Manor, the surprises in store for her are anything but. Satrina acquired two stepsons when she took over the manor. The younger one, Bastien Loukas, is every bit as suspicious as Divina about their arrival. He investigates the LeBeaus and takes on a keen dislike and distrust of Divina specifically. If that weren't enough to keep Divina from feeling welcome, there's a creature haunting her reflection -- and sometimes possessing her mother! This wraith is more than just a creepy ghost. It's the spirit of Divina's ancestor and it's out for blood!
Thanks for your time! I hope you'll consider giving this book a review (good or bad! I'm not interested in fluff reviews)
