I have finished reading Daughter of Nothing and while my review is not ready YET, I can say it will be getting some pretty stars all in a row!
Keep an eye out for my review and a great giveaway coming soon!
Few people even know that the Scion School exists. Tucked away on a private Caribbean island, the school is host to thirty-six exceptionally gifted students, all orphans. They train and study every day to prepare themselves for an immense responsibility, to lead humankind back from the brink of extinction.
At least, that’s what they’ve been told.
Among the thirty-six is Jacey, 17, one of four Scions in the Eagle class. She is the favorite of the 93-year-old headmaster, Dr. Carlhagen. But when Jacey overhears a conversation between a strange visitor and one of the school’s first graduates, she learns a stunning fact about her future. One that Dr. Carlhagen has kept from all the Scions.

I’ve read Erik’s other books and this one he kept close to the vest. I had no clue what it was about when he sent it to me and was surprised it was different from his other stories. A very pleasant and fun surprise!

And the Sal Van Sleen Novella
My name is Sal Van Sleen. It used to be that nothing much happened in my town, Mushkobewun. Or at least that’s what I believed for most of my fifteen years.
But then my girlfriend’s little sister got abducted by a nasty, supernatural . . . thing.
I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t just let something like that go . . .
