Book Description for
Freak of Nature
By: Julia Crane
Donate Body to Science. Check.
When seventeen-year-old Kaitlyn checked the box, she never suspected she’d have her life–and her body–stolen from her. She awakens one day in a secret laboratory to discover that her body is now half-robot and is forced to hide her own secret: that she still has human emotions and a human mind. If the scientists who made her find out, they’ll erase what remains of who she was.

Kaitlyn finds an unlikely ally in Lucas, a handsome, brilliant scientist who can’t get over the guilt he feels knowing she was once a vibrant, beautiful young woman. He never expected a science project to affect him the way she does. As he tries to help her rediscover her past, he finds himself falling for the brave girl struggling to find her place and acceptance between the human and computer worlds.

Cover Reveal!


I am so excited to post the cover for Lizzy Ford’s new book

 “Autumn Storm” (Book #2 of “The Witchling Trilogy”).


Synopsis:

A girl with no memory, hidden in plain sight. A boy with no hope, freefalling into Darkness.

Autumn doesn’t know why she remembers a boarding school she’s never visited, or why her reflection isn’t always hers. There’s another girl in the mirror, a dark-haired ghost that emerges one night to guide her to a cliff near the school. Only Autumn can’t remember what happened there and why it’s so important. Beck’s gentle touch soothes her distress while Decker’s every look sets her body on fire. Caught between the twins, she struggles to understand her instincts and magick while working through the pain caused by a mysterious car accident that left her disabled, barely able to walk.

Unable to recover from Summer’s death, Decker slowly surrenders to the Dark. He can’t live with the pain, and those around him keep Autumn’s secret too well. The guilt he feels when he falls for her – and betrays Summer’s memory drives him farther from the Light, until he loses control and begins taking the souls of Light witchlings. As the protector of Light, Beck must choose between confronting his twin and watching more witchlings suffer. Decker realizes Beck has come between more than him and the witchlings. With neither of them willing to let Autumn go, they turn on each other.

Only one of them knows the truth. Only one of them will walk away, unless Autumn can find a way to save them both.
Release Date= 11-23-12

"Lauren" Reviewed on Examiner.com!


Lauren: A story of love, loss, betrayal, and loyalty.


Lauren will be my fifth Julia Crane book in less than a month's time. Lauren is a spin-off book from her highly acclaimed "Keegan's Chronicles" books. But don't let that stop you from reading Lauren, because it by all means can also be read as a standalone book.
Julia Crane's work is incredibly engaging and unique. When I read her books, I can always see clear images in my head of the characters, scenery, and even feel the emotions the characters are feeling. Julia Crane has a way to pull you into a book and make you feel like you are watching a movie.
I read Lauren in one sitting, as I did to some of her other books; I could not put it down. Hours later I am still thinking about Lauren because it is that good. I can say it is hands down my favorite book of Crane's, and that is saying something because I have a slight obsession with "Keegan's Chronicles".
Lauren is easy to relate to as a young 17 year old girl going off to college trying to find her place in the world. Lauren has paranormal abilities, but feels insecure about her powers especially around her very magical friends. I hate when reviews give away too much of the story, and I feel like I am about to if I keep writing, so I will just sum it up. Lauren is a story of insecurity, how to fight your way out of it, and come out stronger in the end.
This book is also about friendship, love, loss, betrayal, and most of all loyalty.
For "Keegan's Chronicles" fans, you will be so delighted with a lot of the characters having a larger role in Lauren. As I said before Lauren can be and, in my eyes is, also a standalone book. I highly recommend reading Lauren because it is one of those books that leaves you thinking and wanting more.
5 STARS!

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.
A girl with a second chance. A boy with a terrible secret. When the truth is revealed, Lauren’s world comes crashing down.
For once, seventeen-year old lauren’s life is going right. She’s attending the college of her dreams, has what appears to be the perfect boyfriend, and is surrounded by her childhood friends.

"No Way Back" (Mia's Way, #1)

Sometimes bad things happen to beautiful people. The wealthy daughter of a high-ranking politician, seventeen year old Mia Abbott-Renou has everything: designer clothes, wealth, spring breaks in Monte Carlo. She lives blissfully unaware of her family’s secrets, until the night she is raped by the son of her father’s greatest political ally. Her father forbids her from going to the police and threatens to throw her out if she does. It’s a critical election year, one that his party might lose, if the public sours on his doting father image when they realize his daughter is an underage lush and party girl. He can’t risk splintering the party in a nasty court battle that’s certain to draw way too much press, even if that means sacrificing his daughter. Mia’s world is shattered twice, once by the men who hurt her, and once by the betrayal of her family. She does what her father says. But the rapists strike again and beat their next victim near death. With the help of her best friend and a couple of unlikely allies, Mia must decide: does she risk losing everything to do what’s right? Or does she turn her back on the truth and preserve the family name? What’s privileged girl to do, when her perfect little world isn’t so perfect anymore?

Have you read COEXIST yet?



“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.

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:
There’s romance, war, and supernatural all thrown in to make this incredible story. I was hooked from the first chapter. I’m hoping and waiting for a sequel. I would highly recommend it to everyone of all ages looking for a good read!


*******

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!
