Excerpt
She sat there, in all her simplicity, on the warm damp sand. Her beauty was simple, that of a normal teenage girl. To Everit, however, she was a rare diamond waiting to be polished. As the scent of roses washed over him, he couldn't help but close his eyes and let the scent of her take him to a faraway place. He imagined her in a magical field, and the only thing that covered her were the black and red rose pedals that fell all around her beautiful body. She looked mesmerizing lying there in his mind. Her simple beauty was unlike nothing he had ever seen in all his years. Sensing the sudden stiffness of her body he dashed into the woods just as she turned towards him. He could not show himself to her. Not now. Not like this.
He was sent here to plant his seed, to fulfil the prophecy of the Dark Islands. What he found was more than anyone could have imagined. He had not planned on falling in love but the connection he felt to her was to strong to ignore. The imprint she left on his mind was stronger than his desire to remain indifferent could sustain.
Everit had watched her for weeks now. He knew his feeling for her complicated things but that she was the one he would love forever. There was one way he could have her forever, but he could not bring himself to take that which was not his to take. He knew what he was sent here for. He could not fail his people. Loving her made leaving her behind that much harder. He made an oath to himself to find a way to protect her at a distance even if it meant his own death. He hated the thought of hurting her, but this was the best way to keep her safe. He was leaving her with a heavy heart in hopes of being with her again someday.
Professional Reviews
Very nice work!
While the book is short, it is very well written. I really thought that her mom was going to flip..lol. I was really drawn in after a while and I began to picture it as it happened. You do a great job at setting the scene. I almost felt like I was on vacation too! While you are very detailed with certain things, you managed to even make that interesting, which is rare with very detailed books. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Short but sweet

She never expects in one instance, that feels like a dark dream, to upturn her life forever. Saying goodbye to her grandparents she gets a sick feeling crawling through her. What if it wasn't a dream?
The story of Sophie had me interested as she was visiting her grandparents in Greece. Well described, in the fact that one event turns the course of this teen's life forever. It was a easy read, but it kept my interest the entire way through. There is mystery behind a strange event that happens to Sophie that will have you wondering what happens next to her.
