Gifted, A Valens Series, by Andy Lewter

By Books Are Sanity!!! -


Blurb:
The last thing Abigail Everett thought would happen over spring break was having her world shift into an entirely new perspective.
Unfortunately for her, that’s exactly what happened.
           
Between struggling to master her newly-formed abilities, coming face-to-face with dark, deceiving mind tricks by those that seek her leadership, and learning of a mythical world that she never deemed possible, Abigail risks everything with the future of mankind and the safety of its people in her hands.
Excerpt: 

“I knew I was in mortal danger.  But I was finally able to breathe again—with him by my side.  Then dangerous eyes bore into mine, and darkness overtook me . . .” 

My Review:

I lost sleep to finish this book! My eyes were burning by the time I read The End. I love the characters that Lewter has created. They were real and relatable, well except for the gifted part! Blending reality with fantasy, the gifted race of Valens is one I cannot stop thinking about. I need more of Nicholas, Miles and Abby! A bonus for this reader is that the supporting characters were just as interesting as the main characters, especially Navi and Damien. When all is said and done I am itching to get my hands on the next book! Seriously this girl needs the rest of the story! A YA novel you won't soon forget, Gifted will grab your attention and hold it until the very last word! 
Happy Reading!!!
You can pick up your own copy via Amazon.



About the Author:

Andy is a stay-home mom with two beautiful children. Between homework, playing, cooking and cleaning, she writes on the side. Most of her inspiration comes from life experiences that have brought her both pain and happiness - both of which have helped her grow. She also gets inspiration from the wonderful people that have touched her life, accompanied with crazy dreams she has nightly. 

She is so excited to have finally touched the edges of her dream as an author. She grew a fond passion for writing when she was young, and this story has given her determination that she can indeed fulfill her childhood dream.
