True Connection Blog Tour


 Synopsis:

'It's going to take a fight, I know that. But it's more than just a fight for my life. It's a fight for my soul and my soul mate.'

Jazzy Williams is not your average coffee-loving teen. She's struggling with her grief, her famous uncle’s fans, an overprotective big brother, and a depressed mother, all while trying to make friends at her new school. In the first week, she meets a gorgeous green-eyed hottie who turns out to be more than just some high school crush - he's more than human. And she unknowingly enrages a very dangerous breed of immortal who wants her soul or life as payment. With the help of supernatural friends and protectors, Jazzy thinks she's safe until what remains of her family is put in danger. Does Jazzy have what it takes to save her family, life, soul and soul mate, or will all be lost?

My Review:

5 stars!

I had the privilege of being a beta reader for this book. I loved Jazzy from the moment I met her, maybe not as much as Seth but you get what I mean. Starting at a new school with her brother, living in a new place all because of one fateful night. Already dealing with grief, anger and confusion she now has an unexpected paranormal connection to contend with as well. This would be overwhelming all by itself but somehow she also managed to gain an unrelenting enemy. Juggling all of this and homework just doesn't seem fair. I guess it helps to have a hunky soul mate by your side. I loved the flow, the dialogue, the unique paranormal slant and the character development. I would absolutely recommend this novel.

My review of Mythology:

5 stars!
Loved the concept! Demons, I feel like I've read a lot of paranormal and haven't come across a demon character that wasn't just a mindless evil tool of havoc. This author has created this whole new world that neatly fits into the one we already live it. Let me just put this out there, I would not mind being able to see people's auras. How cool would that be? This was a hard book to put down, I would recommend to any of my friends who are into paranormal fiction and anyone into YA romance.


Author Bio:

Helen was a complete bookworm from the time she could sound out the words on the page. Shell always be thankful for her mom allowing her to read at the kitchen table during mealtimes. Reading naturally led to writing by the time she was eight or nine  she started with fantasy stories, dabbled in contemporary fiction, and even tried a little romance. MYTHOLOGY is an urban fantasy/love story and in that way reflects some of her earliest writing interests. 

Things that inspire Helen to write are bowls of ice cream with lots of Magic Shell, the lack of cats or other things shes allergic to in the vicinity, and plugging into playlists with her Neff headphones  the knit ones with the bears ears.
