Publication date: April 22nd 2017

From USA TODAY bestselling author, a psychic warfare alternative history set in a gritty version of Earth. Contains strong romantic elements – a book in the Bridge & Sword World. Apocalyptic. Psychic Romance.

“You are the Bridge…”

Allie Taylor lives in a world populated by seers, a second race discovered on Earth at the beginning of the 20th Century. Psychic, hyper-sexual and enslaved by governments, corporations and wealthy humans, seers are an exotic fascination to Allie, but one she knows she’ll likely never encounter, given how rich you have to be to get near one.

Then a strange man shows up at her work –– then another –– and pretty soon Allie finds herself on the run from the law, labeled a terrorist and in the middle of a race war she didn’t even know existed. Yanked out of her life by the mysterious and uncommunicative Revik, Allie discovers her blood may not be as “human” as she always thought, and the world of seers might not be quite as distant as she always imagined.

When Revik tells her she’s the Bridge, a mystical being meant to usher in the evolution of humanity––or possibly its extinction––Allie must choose between the race that raised her and the one where she might truly belong.



My Review:

Allie an almost thirty year old woman works as a waitress in a diner with a brother that she adores, a mom that cares about very much and a best who keeps her on her toes.

In Allie’s world there are humans and seers. Humans use the seers like pets or slaves that is if you have enough money to own one that is which Allie does not.

One day a man or seer comes into the diner and forces Allie to go with him and the next thing she knows she is being chased by the police and they are trying to kill her. But her kidnapper, Revik the seer keeps her safe and alive by using guns and his special abilities. Allie learns that she is not human but a seer herself. She knew she was adopted but it never crossed her mind that she was not human.

Allie learns that there is a war going on between the seers and a rogue group of seers and the human race maybe destroyed. She also finds out that she is the Bridge that could save or destroy the humans.

While being chased and on her the run Allie and Revik learn that there is a connection between the two of them. They fall for each other fast and hard which I think scares both of them for different reasons.

Allie cares very much for her human family and friends and has every intention of keeping them as safe as possible. But the more she learns about herself and the seers and the war the less trust she has for everyone. Seers and humans alike Allie doesn’t know which way to turn or who to trust anymore.

Can she stop the war? Can she save the humans? Can she save her family and friends? Whose side will she take or will she take a side? Can she be the Bridge or the person that the seers think she is?

Rook is filled with lots of action right from the beginning that will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen around the next corner. Good or bad the characters are just amazing and the world of the seers is just as amazing. I loved reading about the seers and learning about their abilities.

I would like to recommend Rook to anyone who loves reading science fiction with lots and lots of action and adventure with a little romance thrown in.

I'm so tired of reading different stories all about the same thing over and over and this one break that mold from what I read in the blurb. Super excited to read this one.
