From the Author

"My face flushed scarlet. I was a stranger in my own skin. I had ever felt this kind of anger in my life. Fort and confusion grew. Its sensation was an overwhelming concoction of hate. The only things I knew - the only things keeping me remotely calm- was the following litany.

My name is Eleanora Ada Stone. I was moved from home to home for seventeen years. I am now living on this god-forsaken island in Maine. I was being kept from a world of secrets. I have abilities. I am not human. I do not know what I am."
― Jes Dory, Isle
So a Quick Author's 'review' of ISLE, so you know what you're getting yourself into ; )

1. It is a story that includes the following; sirens, daemons, mythology, shapeshifter, abilities, war, psychological struggle and heart wrenching emotional stress, and somewhere in the mix of all that a little romance sprinkled in. SO, if you're into that dark-epicness kind of read, ISLE is for you.

2. It takes place in current time yes, but I, as the author, tried to take you to a whole new world happening as we speak. I think this makes characters and situations somewhat relatable for the YA avid readers out there.

3. Did I mention there are these creepy characters called the ELDERS?.... yeah, I don't recommend reading their chapters before you go to sleep, your dreams get kinda funky.

SO, I hope that all helps... and I really would love HONEST feedback and reviews. I say HONEST because its the only way, I as an author can grow, is by readying critical reviews.
