Rooting for the underdog. A poor, farming community have to live under the thumb of a rich man who has the corrupted law and goons at his beck and call.
Dinah has to find the strength, through grief and hopelessness she vows to fight back.
she has to rally all the friends and neighbors she can to help her rise up and take back thier life and farms. Love, teens growing up too fast. good verse evil.
I personally love how powerful the oppressed came together, how open the dynamic of love was in this book.
great read.

Everytime I want to escape reality any book written by this author seems to hit the spot for me. This book and series has me itching for the next release. I love the independent females with thier sass and humor that tend to be the hero. never a dull moment. Thank you for creating a world to enjoy.

It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

Avalon has always felt different and alone. The ocean, along with the friends she’s made under the water, is the only constant in her life. Then Xander comes for her, reluctantly, judging by his snarly attitude. But, attitude aside, he draws her into a fantasy world, one filled with family and friendship and...the home she’s always craved. He gives her the smallest glimpse of perfection, only to then inform her that it’s not a world she can have. Political issues in Royale will make her time there temporary.

My love of out of this world stories hit the mark with this book. once I read the first of this series I had to binge read the rest. It's one of those epic adventures that now that I have Finnished the series, my world is halted, what adventure can I find now to read that will satisfy my escape in the world of reading like this story has.

When Emma moves to Astoria, Oregon, she is given two rules: #1 - don’t cross to “their” side of the street. #2 - don’t mess with the elites, especially Lexen Darken, top elite and resident bad boy. While she finds this both weird and insulting, Emma has no actual intention of breaking these rules - until her guardians go missing. Now all bets are off. Only a single line separates her side of the street from the elites', and she's crossing it.
