Tempest

By Holly A. Hook

Kindle at Amazon.com
Kindle at Amazon.co.uk
All Other eBook formats HERE DRM-free!

Sixteen-year-old Janelle never thought the gray spiral birthmark on her arm meant anything special. That is, until she meets Gary, a boy her age with a birthmark exactly like hers. Gary’s attractive, brooding, and perfectly normal…except for the fact that he materialized out of a dangerous hurricane right in front of her. Janelle’s certain of only one thing. Gary’s mark—and hers, too—mean something, but he’s reluctant to tell her what.

At last she squeezes the truth from Gary about their markings. And the truth is utterly terrifying: Janelle and Gary are more connected to the destructive power of nature than she ever dreamed possible. And learning the truth about herself is only the start of her nightmare.

I'd like to post this review I received on Amazon yesterday.

"This book is excellent from its exciting start to its unexpected ending - it was impossible to put down. The opening scene takes place in Florida, where Janelle, a 16 year old recent transplant from Michigan, is trying to understand why her father is acting so weird... and when we find out, it's pretty amazing. It has a lot to do with Hurricane Gary, which is threatening their lives, though Janelle's father doesn't seem to notice or care. This book takes Y/A paranormal in a whole new direction. I've never read anything in this genre quite so fresh, unique, fun and exciting. It also works in some interesting environmental themes, and the writing itself is beautiful.

Janelle and all of the other characters are believable, interesting, and complex. The twist at the end, and the way the book resolves - well, I don't want to give anything away, but it's nothing you would expect. I highly recommend this book - you will be pulled in from start to finish with this new twist on Y/A paranormal fantasy."

I just finished reading "Tempest" and it is a fun and engaging Young Adult novel. I reviewed it on my blog.
