“Julia Crane is a terrific YA novelist. Her characters are so lovable and real. The plot was action-packed from beginning to end with an incredibly shocking twist. Coexist has a rocking cliff-hanger of an ending that has left me waiting for the next in the series! I can’t wait to read more from this author.” Heather A. – Amazon Reviewer
Sixteen-year-old Keegan is struggling to keep her huge secret from her friends–she’s an elf, descended from a long line of elves that live in secrecy alongside humans.
In elfin society, mates are predetermined but not allowed to meet until they are eighteen. Against tradition, Keegan’s brother Thaddeus told her Rourk’s name because his visions warned him she’d need Rourk’s protection, especially since Keegan will play a key role in the coming war between the dark and light elves.
Rourk finds himself drawn to Keegan’s side every time she thinks his name. He wants to talk to her but remains in the shadows, silently guarding her every time she mentally beckons him. A twist of fate thrusts the two of them together when Rourk is forced to step up his protection and make his presence known.
An ancient prophecy deeply entwines Keegan’s family and the future of their society. Somehow they must find a way to thwart fate and win the battle…without losing Keegan. With war brewing, and dark forces aligning, will Keegan and Rourk ever have the life together that they both desire?
Here’s what the reviewers have to say:

I’ve never read YA before (as an adult!), but I picked up Julia’s book because I loved the cover. I was surprised to find the storyline just as engaging as the cover. Great read. I picked up the second book as soon as I finished this one!

I got sucked into this book quickly. I enjoyed the characters, the storyline, and the writing. It was a creative story and I found myself rooting for the main characters. It had romance and friendship along with magic and adventure. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

What a great book! I really think if enough people read this it could take off as well as Twilight. All the characters popped off the page and were so vivid and alive in my mind. I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to the next two books.

I LOVED this book! I was instantly endeared to Keegan along with all the characters. Julia Crane did an amazing job! It is well written, keeps you engaged, and breaks at all the right spots. The story was great and I can’t wait to read the next one!
