An adoptee raised in a foreign land, sixteen-year-old Lianne was content with her life as handmaiden to the queen, until a spell cast on her at birth activated. Now she's filled with uncontrollable rage and access to magic she thought had been bled from her people years ago. Even her years of secret training in elite hand-to-hand combat and meditation can’t calm the fires raging inside her.
Her heart is torn between two boys, the one she’s always loved and the one who always ignored her. But when the kingdom threatens to tear itself apart due to rumors surrounding the queen’s alleged affair, who will Lianne protect and who will she destroy? Excerpt from Goodreads.

Jaime’s review….
I’m a huge fan of Megg’s writing if you’ve read my previous reviews of her Cloud Prophet books you’d see that. Megg has a way of creating a fantasy realm that you could see yourself living in even wanting to! I’ll try and not spoil too much so this review will be short and sweet because I feel like I could ramble about this book for days!
Lianne is the type of character you fall in love with immediately she is loving, caring, but also very strong. The two boys in this story couldn’t be more different there’s the quiet shy Bryden or the strong outspoken Kellan. I’ll be honest I didn’t like Kellan from the start I thought he was arrogant and something always felt off with him. Bryden though stole my heart immediately with his dreamy eyes and his smarts!
I think the best part of this story was all the twists and turns. I’d finally get comfortable where it was going and then Megg would throw a huge monkey wrench into the scenario and we’d be headed off in a completely different direction.
Go pick up Sleepers at Amazon or Barnes & Noble now! I’m patiently (not really) waiting for book 2 :D
Thanks Megg Jensen for an advanced copy for review!

Yay! The twists my faves!
ReplyDeleteI read this on my phone but it wouldn't let me leave a comment. Don't like the mobile websites. But this book sounds really awesome! I have got to start reading Megg Jensen. Once my pile clears in October, should I start with this series or her other series?
ReplyDeleteBoth are fabulous! Quick, easy and VERY creative reads.
