Blurb:

Just a year ago, I thought I was an ordinary human, and I gave up everything on Earth to save the people I loved. I have become the Lenai of Emréiana, making me the heir to the Emréian throne. It also makes me in charge of defeating the Bremoir, a race that has been consuming other worlds. If I can't stop them, the universe is doomed.

Then there is Aaronmon, my betrothed. We have only known each other for a year, but our bond is strong. It's that bond that makes it hard to know my true feelings. While I think I am ready for the ceremony, I wonder if I really love him like I loved Kyle, my ex- boyfriend who was murdered.

But none of my feelings matter. In order to rule Emréiana, I must go through with the bonding ceremony. If I don't, then I risk losing the right as heir and I'll have no power in the war against the Bremoir. Nobody wants them defeated more than me.

 

 

 

 

Excerpt:

My mouth soured, and I leaned over the side of the bed to allow my stomach to regurgitate. A warm copper taste filled my mouth. I looked down and saw red. The taste of blood lingered on my tongue—the final stage in the virus. I spit out the remaining blood, and I heard frantic voices around me. They knew it, too. My stomach ached; the rest of my body as well. I kept my eyes closed; the light in the room made my head pound even more. It was worse now than it had been earlier; every throb felt heavy and loud. The pain was building up, and I was sure that my skull could not hold the pressure.

My body’s strength was lost, and I struggled to fight sleep. If I closed my eyes, would I wake up? I wanted to resist, but my body had no strength. My eyes drifted, and I took in the darkness, afraid to meet what awaited me there.

My Review: Gemini the Heir

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Carlsona is the heir to the throne on the planet Emreiana. She is to exceed her mother as the leader of Emreiana. But someone does not seem to want her take over as the leader and now her life is in danger. Emreiana is in a war with Bremoir they are trying to keep Bremoir from taking over Emreiana and other planets as well. The Bremoir are a very vindictive group of people they will take hostages and they will torture them in ways that you would never dream of.

Carlsona is doing ever thing in her power to learn Emreiana's language and all of their ways. She is attending one of their universities to learn what she needs to know in order to be a great leader. Carlsona is a very strong willed person and will not let anyone get in her way of saving her planet or Earth either for that matter. Carlsona grew up on Earth never knowing that she was not born there and that she is not human.

On her graduation day Earth was attacked by the Bremoir and killed a lot of humans in the process trying to get their hands on Carlsona. The Bremoir took one of Carlson's best friends hostage during the attack and was tortured and by the time that they found her she had went inside of herself. And Carlsona's human boyfriend was attacked and killed while trying to save her during the attack on the Earth.

Gemini the Heir will keep you on the edge of your seat from the very beginning wanting to know what is going to happen next. I didn't want to put it down and I didn't I kept turning those pages just as fast as I could. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I can't wait to find out how Carlson handles everything that was going on when Gemini the Heir ended. Will she be able to save her people? Can she save herself? And what about the other planets and Earth?

Blurb:

My entire life has been a lie: My parents didn't die in a car accident. They're not even dead. I'm not American. I'm not even human. I have strange powers, and I'm the heir to the throne of the planet Emreiana.

If I take the crown, I have to leave behind everything I have known here on Earth. I would have to say goodbye to my friends and leave behind Kyle, the boy I've loved since I was five. If I don't, then I risk the Bremoir finding me here on Earth and destroying everything I love.

 

 

 

 

 

Excerpt:

A large rock soared through the sky. Around it was an aurora of white and purple. I held my breath and admired its beauty as it slowly passed the window.

“It’s Emréiana’s comet,” Aaronmon told me. “It only passes by once every nineteen years. The last time someone truly magnificent was born.”

I cocked my head, confused. I soon realized his meaning. “Me,” I whispered under my breath. With everything that had been going on I had completely forgotten that I even had a birthday. Of course the Emréian calender was different from Earth’s. I didn’t even realize it was already August there.

“As you know, we don’t celebrate birthdays the same way here. So it wasn’t hard to sneak it past you.” Aaronmon smiled. In Emréiana they didn’t celebrate annual birthdays. New Year was when people actually counted their new age. The only birthday type of celebration was during the third Hurmon moon when they had the nilva festivities. That was when those who had grown into their abilities received their tattoos. Mine was celebrated on Earth before I came to Emréiana, but the community of Inae gave me another shortly after my arrival. Since I already had a tattoo, I had just participated in everything else, which had been awkward since I spoke very little Emréian at the time. Thinking back on all of that, I still couldn’t believe that I had forgotten my birthday.

Embarrassment radiated from me, and I tried to hold it back so that I wouldn’t send the waves to Aaronmon. I guess it didn’t matter because I could tell by the grin on his face that he knew. My reddened cheeks probably gave me away.

“I know back on Earth individual birthdays were the norm, and I thought that this could be something special between you and me,” he offered.

I smiled at his thoughtfulness and leaned into his chest. “Every year?” I asked.

“Well, the comet only comes every nineteen, so we will have to figure something else out.”

“Deal,” I said.
