ABOUT PRAEFATIO

Title: Praefatio (Praefatio #1)

Publication date: May 21, 2013

Publisher: Month9Books, LLC.

Author: Georgia McBride

Seventeen-year-old Grace Ann Miller is no ordinary runaway...

After having been missing for weeks, Grace is found on the estate of international rock star Gavin Vault, half-dressed and yelling for help. Over the course of twenty-four hours Grace holds an entire police force captive with incredulous tales of angels, demons, and war; intent on saving Gavin from lockup and her family from worry over her safety.

Authorities believe that Grace is ill, suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, the victim of assault and a severely fractured mind. Undeterred, Grace reveals the secret existence of dark angels on earth, an ancient prophecy and a wretched curse steeped in Biblical myth. Grace’s claims set into motion an ages-old war, resulting in blood, death and the loss of everything that matters. But are these the delusions of an immensely sick girl, or could Grace’s story actually be true?

Praefatio is Grace’s account of weeks on the run, falling in love and losing everything but her faith. When it’s sister against brother, light versus darkness, corrupt police officers, eager doctors and accusing journalists, against one girl with nothing but her word as proof: who do you believe?

Review

Praefatio is the beginning of what seems to be a wonderful series of books.  This is a story that tests your ideals of what is "Good" vs. what is "Evil."  This story will keep you guessing and send your mind through a maze of uncertainty. We follow Grace, a 17 year old 1/2 human 1/2 angel, through her triumphs, confusion, fails, feelings of helplessness, and consuming love, as she tells her story during a police interview.  

This book, for me, was definitely a story that I had to "pay attention" to.  There is alot going on in the story.  You will most certainly have to turn off the TV and give your full attention to this alluring story.  Trust me, you will want to.  Praefatio is different than many books I have read in the past few months.  You are reading the story as Grace tells it.  You feel what she is feeling and understand the utter confusion she goes through as she learns about who she is and what is really going on.  

The book is well written.  However, the transitions between time lines in the book are a little rough.  I found myself having to re-read a few pages to make sure my mind was switching from past to present, from dream self to physical self.  This being said, this story is original and wonderful.  

There is sooooo much this book has to offer.  Love, deceit, sabotage, mystery, and much more.  The author does an amazing job making the reader feel the feelings that Grace is feeling.  I literally wanted to grab a flower and start pulling petals, "he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not."  The relationship between Gavin and Grace is one that had me angry, sad, happy, ecstatic, and in love.  I cannot wait for the next book.... I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!

I will leave you with this...... This book is not something you pick up, read, and forget about.  You will be engrossed with this story, and you will be sent on an unforgettable emotional ride.  So... when this book comes out, GO get it and ENJOY it!!!

About Shadows Fall Away

Shadows Fall Away by Kit Forbes
Publication Date: September 23, 2014
Publisher: Month9Books

Mark Stewart is one incident away from becoming a juvenile delinquent, and his parents have had enough. They ship Mark off to London England to stay with his eccentric aunt Agatha who is obsessed with all things Jack the Ripper. After a strange twist of luck, Mark is struck by lightning, and he wakes to find himself in 1888 Victorian London.

His interest in a string of murders Scotland Yard has yet to solve make him a likely suspect. After all, why would a young boy like Mark know so much about the murders? Could he be the ripper they’ve been searching for? Convinced the only way to get back home is to solve the murders, Mark dives headfirst into uncovering the truth.

Mark’s only distraction comes in the form of the beautiful Genie Trembly, a girl who is totally out of his league and who may have already caught the attention of the infamous ripper. To save her, he’ll endanger both their lives, and risk being trapped in the past forever.

My Review:

 

When I first herd about this book I was so excited.  The Jack the Ripper mystery has been a huge love of mine for many years.  This being said,  Kit Forbes did not disappoint me at all.  

 

This book has everything!  Time travel, mystery, romance, and action.  This is a perfect book for any reader.   The character development is well done, and the settings are beautiful.  Mark is a typical rebellious teenager that drinks and gets into some trouble in current times.  Genie, is your rebellious teen in the past.  Which in 1888, rebellious was not supposed to happen, especially with a wealthy family.  These two characters make this book 100% love able.  The witty banter and the social faux paus that occur between the two are memorable and flirty :)

 

The entire idea of this book is perfect... There is really noting I can say except that this book is perfect!  The mystery is amazing!  This is a mystery that has had many people after it, however Kit Forbes creates a unique view. 

 

I will leave you with this....... This book is the SHIT!!!! Get it as soon as it comes out!!!!

 

5out of 5 stars!!
