Book Blurb:
Living in a small town in Rockabill, Maine. Jane True always knew she didn’t quite fit in with so-called normal society.
During her nightly, clandestine swim in the freezing winter ocean, a grisly find leads Jane to startling revelations about her heritage: she is only half-human.
Now, Jane must enter a world filled with supernatural creatures that are terrifying, beautiful, and deadly – all of which perfectly describe her new “friend,” Ryu, a gorgeous and powerful vampire.
It is a world where nothing can be taken for granted: a dog can heal with a lick; spirits bag your groceries; and whatever you do, never – ever – rub the genie’s lamp.
I bought this book with my own funds.
My Thoughts:
Many have compared Jane True to Sookie …
We here at Book Lovers Inc. are so happy to welcome Jacquelyn Wheeler author of both Rising Shadow and Merger (book 1 and 2 in The Soterians series). Both of which, I enjoyed!The YA Lover: Hi there Jacquelyn, I hope you’re doing well…could you tell us a little bit about yourself, how you got into writing, and why you decided to go the self-publishing route?
JW: Hi Jenn! I’ve been a professional writer in software for 19 years, and I’ve written some children’s stories, poetry, and screenplays for fun. But when I got the idea for the Soterians series, I knew right away that it was going to be a series of five novels, and I knew that these stories were powerful enough that they had to go out in the world and not just sit on my desk. I queried a few …

There was a time when Persephone Alcmedi thought her life was hard to manage, what with wondering how to make sure she took adequate care of both her grandmother and her foster daughter, Beverley, whether she’d end up in the unwanted position of high priestess of a coven, and whether her wærewolf lover, Johnny, would resist the groupies who hang around his band Lycanthropia.
