\"synopsis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine being eighteen. You’ve just become an adult, you can do what you like when you like. You should be attending parties or studying for school. Well that’s what Charlie Dawson thought her life would be like when she turned eighteen anyway. Instead she ends up parentless, living with her best friends and working at a nearby caf\u00e9. That is until her curiosity about her new mysterious neighbor gets the better of her.<\/p>\n

Following Zane into the woods that surround her home town of Tole one night, Charlie gets a little more than she bargains for when he lets her in on Tole\u2019s best kept secrets. The human\u2019s that reside in town aren\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n

Thrown into a world where humans are no longer the world\u2019s most feared predator, Charlie is forced to become something that she has been destined to since before her own birth. Will she stand up to the test? or will she ignore what has been fated to her?<\/p>\n

5 stars! The story never stops! If you want something that is going to keep you on the edge of your seat, this is what you want to read. The author starts you right in the middle of a confrontation between the main characters, Charlie and Zane. Zane finally makes a choice and on a whim tells Charlie that she is the Destinata. This sets forth a series of events that she was destined to stop. She finds out she is half human, half Valguard. The Valguard are a super human type race that is using humans as experiments. Charlie finds out about her family\u2019s past, and present, that will definitely pull at your heart strings. Her best friends are thrown into the mix of this battle as well. You will fully understand what it is to have friends as your family. She is put in the worst situations and always has to make a hard choice. She is constantly battling between what is right and what is best. You can\u2019t help but root for Charlie and her friends in this epic battle against the Valguard.<\/p>\n

A few of my favorite quotes:<\/p>\n

\u201c The only certainty now was they could trust no one but each other and even that trust was fragile at best.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe may have been a coward in love, but she wasn\u2019t a coward in war.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo time for regrets now, Charlie, just keep moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life is nothing but a game to them, but they don\u2019t realize just how well I play.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is an action packed, crazy filled adventure filled with friendship, love, and loss. The old saying \u201ckeep your friends close but keep your enemies closer\u201d keeps coming to mind while I was reading this. You never know quite who you can trust. I am anxiously awaiting Book 2!<\/p>\n
