A while back, we took a look at a wonderful urban fantasy by an up-and-coming storyteller.  Ms. Tery introduced endearing characters and a thrilling storyline in Samaya’s Summer, but the sequel, Whitney’s Autumn (The Genesis Chronicles Book 2), takes the spotlight in a whole new direction.  Ms. Tery still excels at writing characters that captivate readers with everything they do, from the way they talk, to the way they think, to the whiplash tale they’re a part of.  It’s a charming, funny, emotional escape that will stick with the reader for quite some time.

What is more important— obeying the rules or doing what is right?

For fourteen-year-old Whitney Stone, the mayor’s daughter, in pastoral Willow Ridge, the answer is obvious…

Or is it?

After uncovering Cornelius Murdoch’s dark desire to destroy the town, Whitney teams up with her best friends, Samaya Lewis and Chloe James, to unleash the Book of Osciron’s powers.

However, when Murdoch announces his bid for the city council, Whitney and the girls find themselves in a race against time to stop him from deepening his ties with the community while secretly plotting its demise.

Countless moral and legal questions threaten Whitney’s plans to thwart Murdoch, including her father’s shocking allegiance with the town’s enemy.

Will Whitney’s conscience allow her to gather evidence against Murdoch, even if it jeopardizes her relationship with her father? Can the girls harness Osciron’s powers, attack the enemy, and tackle their first semester of high school?

Readers who are interested in a fantasy that takes the magic and makes it feel real will love the Genesis Chronicles books.  Whitney’s Autumn takes what author Ms. Tery established in the first book, and turns it on its end, opening up new enigmas, witty conversations, and experiences.  The third book in the series will be here very soon, with a February release right around the corner.  But while you’re waiting for Chloe’s Winter, it’s a great time to pick up the first two books in this series.  Check out Whitney’s Autumn (The Genesis Chronicles Book 2) on Amazon today!

Author Ms. Tery writes endearing characters.  In Samaya’s Summer: Book One of the Genesis Chronicles, that is the first thing readers will come to learn.  Even without the interesting events unfolding in the region, Samaya and her new friends are a breath of fresh air to spend time with.  Even though Samaya can be shy, quiet and even delightfully awkward, her relationships with her family and the people she meets are warm and wholesome, and her inquisitiveness drives the whole of the story.

Samaya Lewis is not your average girl. She’s shy, anxious, and lives for basketball— a “hobby” her mother fears is consuming her life.

Fourteen-year-old Samaya is also good at something else. Missing curfews.

After missing one too many curfews, her mother devises a wicked punishment—a ninety-day trip to her Aunt Cece’s house in the country, without basketball.

Just when she thought buying a dress and meeting a boy were the worst of her problems, Samaya and a new friend stumble into a sinister plot involving a strange man with a powerful secret—one that may spell doom for the rural community of Willow Ridge and possibly the world.

With new friendships, family, and basketball on the line, Samaya must choose what’s most important before the sun sets on her summer.

Ms. Tery’s debut is witty, charming, and captivating, and the more time you spend with Samaya and her friends, the more gripped you’ll be by the tale.  Samaya’s Summer is the kind of contemporary fantasy that you can’t get enough of, and because of that, readers will be thumbing through pages with great interest.  And with the sequel on its way very soon, there’s never been a better time to pick up the first in this series.  Check out Samaya’s Summer: Book One of The Genesis Chronicles on Amazon today!
