Excerpt:
I ran back deep into the woods, without even staring back as I tried to evade my teacher and the students hurtful reactions. But I came to a stop when my feet began aching. It was then that I saw this young man, slender; broad shouldered; brown hair, with big brows and a comb over hairstyle.
The good looking young men carry some equipment with himself that I couldn't quite make out what it really was. Somewhere in my heart, I felt a wild emotion, which I didn't know if it was pure sexual attraction or love at first sight.
"Hi there, my name is Keith Sullivan."
"Hi Keith, I am Julia Moore, Julie for short, nice to meet you. Wait, you are not from here, right?" I asked while I looked at him straight at his eyes. "Because I have never seen you in this valley before."
"Well, actually I am not from here, I am a foreigner. I come from Europe."
"What brings you here then, business, family, or love?"
"If finding a treasure is a business, then I guess is business."
"A treasure! Is there really a treasure in this valley?"
"Nonsense, I just like to search for stuff with my metal detector. I am a tourist crazy to find amazing souvenirs at every place I travel."
"But why travel to Dead Valley when there is more exotic places to travel?" I asked.
"It's because I have an uncle who told me about Dead Valley. He said it's a unique valley because it has its own platinum mines down underground. And I am planning to buy a lot of platinum."
"You like platinum and I that live here don't like it. I don't even like to wear gold. I just can't stand wearing jewelry at all."
Keith came closer to me, his body almost touching mine. His nose touched my tip of my nose, and my lips rubbed his lips. We both kissed wildly. His saliva tasted like sugary honey syrup. It was a deliciously dream, until he threw be back, detaching himself completely from myself.
Blood snaked down Keith's cheeks, and my mouth savored a light taste of iron. My throat swallowed his blood, and delighted my taste buds all the way to my stomach. I stared at him with seduce eyes.
"I am really sorry that I bite you."
"Don't worry Julie it must be your first kiss, right?"
"Yes it is indeed."
My Review:
I was given a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Eighteen year old Julia Moore whom everyone calls Julie was on her way to visit with her friend Chloe when she has an accident and ends up in the hospital. Poor Julie didn't make it she died while in the hospital. But Julie didn't know that she was dead when she returned home. Everyone kept saying "Julie why are you here?" "Who are you?" Julie's whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't have a clue as to what was going on. Her life as she knew had changed and it was blowing her mind, even her body was changing.
Not long after she had returned home her father had an accident and had to be taken to the hospital himself. Julie's mother came home after visiting with her father to tell Julie that her father had died. Julie along with her mom and grandmother all three were so upset over losing her father that they all kept asking why did you take my father, my husband, my son, why not me, why could it not have been me. Lots of people in Julie's life were disappearing from her home town without a trace. Julie kept asking what had she done that was so bad for her to deserver everything that was happening to her.
All Julie wanted was to find that one true love, you know Mr. Right and have a family of her own. She knew exactly what she wanted in a man and how many children she wanted too. After she came home from the hospital she stayed in the house all the time. She was afraid to go out in public and see people with everyone thinking that she was dead. Julie's mom and grandmother keeps telling her that she is not their Julie that she is someone else. They keep telling her that she has changed that she doesn't act the same. This new Julie is more outspoken, she takes up for herself more. With all that she had been through who can blame her for asking a lot of questions. She is just trying to find out what happened to her and why everyone is saying that she is dead when she is standing right there in front of them, right in front of their eyes. Everyone thinks that she is disrespecting them but she is not.
I have really and truly enjoyed and loved reading Twinge. I loved reading about Julie and her family and being there with Julie while she tried to figure out what was going on. Twinge had a lot of twist and turns that kept you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what was going to happen to Julie next and how she would handle it. The ending is one great big surprise that I never saw coming. Homar Solano is one amazing writer who knows how to keep you hanging on until the end. Twinge is one of those books that you don't want to put down until you have read every word.
