Imagine starting at the end and finishing back at the beginning. This is the story of a teenage girl called Valerie Saunders who is about to be thrown through time and space. Being bestowed with abilities beyond her wildest nightmares, she discovers that she not only has to deal with turning eighteen, her first job and an unwanted tattoo, but also magical powers and intense urges to fall in love. She envisaged she would spend her life blending into the scenery, not blowing it up!
Val has a calling, but which side is dialling her number?
Enjoyed this fast pace read for sure.
You know it is always nice to step out of your comfort zone and read something from a genre you do not normally read and I suggest you check out this book. G.L. Twynham will capture your attention from page one and not let you go till the end and leave you thinking what just happened.
I loved how the characters developed with the story.
With vivid dreams and mysterious tattoos what lies ahead for Val.? With many twist and turns this story is sure to enthrall everyone. Sorry no Spoilers here so I highly recommend everyone to get a copy for yourself. Because G.L. Twynham has created an amazing world for us to explore along with awesome characters for us to love. Just don't take my word for it read it for yourself. You will come back and thank later.
Born in Wellingborough in 1972, Georgia was brought up with her two older brothers in a sleepy Leicestershire village until at the age of fifteen, her parents decided to move abroad, taking her with them. A new country and a new language helped her come out of her shell and for eleven years, she lived and worked on the beautiful island of Menorca.
Georgia wrote short stories and poetry from an early age but her real passion for writing didn’t truly emerge until she was 31. Writing for her own web site and articles for magazines helped to support her and her daughter. After meeting her now fiancĂ©, she was given the encouragement and opportunity to write full-time and the rest is history.
Georgia felt there was a need for a strong British female heroine. She also wanted a main character that had a normal family, with problems that most teenagers/young adults in this country might be experiencing and could relate to. And so Val Saunders, daughter to Mike and Susan Saunders, was born.
Georgia spends time with her daughter in their home in Leicestershire and her life is filled with promoting her books, writing and walking her dog Milly, the Jack Russell.
