Book Blurb:
Being hunted by alien
mutants totally sucks. And the threat of imprisonment in a secret underground
lab? Even suckier.
Now that Sloane
Masterson’s blackmailer has been revealed, and she knows the truth about why
Hayden’s been so secretive, she’s ready to put all that epic craziness behind
her.
Besides, Sloane has
bigger problems to deal with, like protecting her family from Sector Thirteen
and getting Hayden’s snobby parents to accept her as one of them. . .which is
proving more difficult than giving up chocolate.
And what better way to
win over the ’rents and evade ST than an intergalactic vacay with her smoking’
hot boyfriend?
Sloane and her bestie,
Viola Saks, are invited to join the Lancaster brothers for a twisted family
reunion on their home planet, an oasis of wicked cool beaches, warm dual suns,
and clear blue seas.
But danger lurks in
paradise. . .
Even in this beautiful
utopia, Sloane and Hayden’s relationship is never far from higher levels of
suckage. They might be vacationing in a galaxy far, far away, but someone still
wants her dead.
My Thoughts…
Book Three of a series
that I love… I am in heaven! The
Starlight Saga does have to be read in order but they are all amazing books so
I recommend picking up book one (see my thoughts here) and continuing to book
two (my thoughts here) and fly right into book three.
The characters are
mostly teenagers. Sherry Soule does an
amazing job writing them as teenagers.
They have teenage relationships, teenage reactions, and teenage
maturity. I liked that these were
real teenagers, which Sherry stayed true to that throughout the entire
series. I realize that their problems
were not always typical teenage problems but their problems were of the world
they were living in. Most teenagers do
not have people trying to kidnap them to make them test subjects but Sloane
manages to keep herself and her friend alive.
Sloane… I just don’t
know what to say about Sloane. Never
ever in my life have I met someone who was so jinxed in life. NOTHING, absolutely nothing, went right in
her world. With every step she took I
was afraid that she would hurt herself, get herself kidnapped, or end up
dead. Thankfully she managed to keep
herself alive with the help of her friends.
This is the end to a
wonderful series. I feel like I am
saying goodbye to old friends but I know that I will never forget them.
Thank you Sherry Soule
for a copy of the book for an honest review.
“Why I Love the Young Adult Genre” - #StarlightSaga
Today bestselling author Sherry Soule has some
exciting news to share with us. She has recently published the next book in her
popular Starlight Saga series, a humorous paranormal romance. Sherry is doing this fun guest post to share the book
love with fellow readers.
Be warned, these books have scorching-hot romance!
Hi everybody, I’m author, Sherry
Soule—waving from the SF Bay Area. Thanks for letting me visit today, it’s an
honor to be a guest here and meet fellow booklovers.
YA
(young adult) Lit is a general term used for books aimed at the teen market.
Nowadays, these books can be read by anyone at any age.
Ever
since I was a child, I have recognized that books are a way to travel to other
places and have incredible adventures. Even though I am older than the average
teen reader, I’ve always loved reading Young Adult books and strongly believe
you’re NEVER too old to read them. A great book is simply a great book
regardless of its intended audience. I read both adult and young adult novels,
and equally love both.
One
reason that I enjoy reading YA Lit is because most novels in this genre are
fast-paced and thrilling, and will captivate teen and adult readers alike. The
storylines are just as complex and imaginative as adult fiction, in my opinion.
And teenage characters tend to have a much more hopeful perspective than adult
literature, which draws me in—plus the fact that I’m really a big kid at heart.
I also adore that there are so many books created into a series nowadays, so that
you can continue to have additional adventures with your favorite characters.
Could my love of YA
Lit be simply because I’m just a teenager-at-heart?
Maybe.
Actually, I am an adult with teenage children, and I love writing young adult
fiction as much as I love reading it. Writing upper YA is fun and exhilarating,
and I get to relive my youth in new and exciting ways. My stories will appeal
to both adults and teens, and even college-aged kids. And like many of you,
because I am a writer of YA literature, I’ve read hundreds of YA books and I
can actually say that I enjoyed almost all of them.
Although
I buy many of my books through Amazon, I am never
embarrassed to buy YA novels in bookstores, or carry them around with me. I
love the genre and always have and always will. To me, reading YA novels has to
do with simple escapism, instant gratification, and mostly nostalgia. I say,
“Live and let read!” If adults are reading YA books, it speaks to the quality
of the genre, not the diminishing tastes of adults. “Reading is food for your
brain.” I read many different genres in both young adult and adult novels, and I
am no book snob.
We
all have diverse tastes in literature. Most of you will have various genres
that you love to read, and probably some of my favorite books are simply your
forgotten reads. That is what makes reading as a whole, so fascinating. Each
one of us will enjoy different types of characters, genres, plots, and, of
course, a writer’s voice, the way only they
can tell a story.
And
I don’t know about you, but I need some romance in almost every book I read.
And if you’re a hopeless romantic at heart, then you’ll enjoy reading any of my
books.
At
its core, this YA series, Starlight Saga, is basically a story about two outcast
teens finding each other and how their “forbidden” love changes both of their
lives. Sure, there is an element of danger regarding this star-crossed romance,
but they are both young and impulsive with their hearts. Who isn’t at that age?
I
think the heroine of this fun series, Sloane, is rather unique. To me, she’s
not your average “Mary Sue” or flawless YA heroine. She has some self-esteem
issues, but
she’s also headstrong and gutsy, with an eccentric fashion sense.
Thank
you for letting me chat about my love of young adult literature today. I hope
you enjoyed this post. Now go feed your mind and read a book! Preferably one of mine. :-D
STARLIGHT SAGA
About
Sherry Soule
Sherry Soule is a bestselling
author, who lives with her family and two black rescue cats in Northern
California. She’s always wanted to live in a world where sweatpants are sexy,
cupcakes don’t make you fat, and she could adopt every homeless animal.
She writes young adult, new
adult, and adult in urban fantasy, romantic comedy, and paranormal romance
genres set in fictional places within the SF Bay Area that feature independent
females and sexy alpha males. Many of her books have spent time on the Kindle
bestseller lists and have been nominated as top picks in the “Best Paranormal
Romance” categories.
When she’s not writing
thrilling tales of romance and suspense, often mingled with a splash of trendy
fashion, you can find her binge watching Netflix, reading (often crushing on
fictional characters), or hanging with her zany family.
As a fan of all kinds of movies, Sherry’s been addicted to horror
films because of the thrills and chills since childhood. It might be the
adrenaline rush, or that feeling of being kept on the edge of her seat (so to
speak) in anticipation of what happens next as one of her favorite kinds of
escapism.
