Be sure and visit my Facebook page for a chance to win a new copy of Storm Child and Imperial Storm by Melanie Mason! Deadline is Friday, August 17th.
Storm Child:Eridale Storm is a brave young girl. She must leave the village she grew up in to save her sister and herself from the dangerous Imperial soldiers. The only safety she knows is hundreds of miles away with a mother she never knew. Can she survive the brutal wilds of a dramatically changed future America? Can she discover and rely on the inner strength she was born with? And will her mother be the person she believes her to be?
Melanie Mason’s Storm Child, the first in her YA dystopian Storm Series, is a riveting tale that captures you from the first exciting page. She takes us into a post-apocalyptic America but never loses us in this new world. The settings are rich with detail and at the same time allows your imagination to do what it does best—make it all real. Her characters are round and relatable, particularly the main character, Eridale Storm, who is strong, compassionate and yet capable of making mistakes.
Melanie Mason is a talented writer, weaving an adventure we feel a part of. The inner struggles her characters are working through are struggles we have. Moral courage is championed and virtue esteemed. I gave Storm Child, as well as the second book in this series, Imperial Storm, to my granddaughters. They loved them, devouring them in just a few days . . . just like their grandma. What a delight to hand these books filled with such excellent role models to these young girls! Thank you, Melanie, for bringing to life these wonderful books.
Imperial Storm:Eridale can’t remember a thing about the past seventeen years of her life. She must rely on what others tell her, but what’s true and what’s not? And who can she trust? She is living the life of a princess and all those around her tell her this comfortable exitance has always been hers. Yet flashes of her past show her otherwise. More than ever she must rely on her inner voice to know what is real. Her life may depend on it.
In Melanie Mason’s second installment of her YA dystopian Storm Series, Imperial Storm, the story of Eridale Storm continues. If you thought the first book, Storm Child, was exciting, you had better prepare yourself for this heart-thumping page turner! Melanie does an amazing job with this continuation and before you know it, you’re on the last page . . . and you pick your phone up and message her, wanting to know when the next book will be out because you’ve just got to know what’s going to happen next . . . but you don’t want to sound annoying . . . but you want to know NOW!
Don’t worry. You’re not alone. I get you. Melanie?
