Gaia
Author: Karen Ann Hopkins
Reading Level: Young Adult
Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult Fiction
Humankind is on the precipice of the apocalypse.
As
the Demons grow bolder and the walls between the planes of existence
weaken, Ember is forced to develop her powers as quickly as possible,
and she seeks out a powerful earth Watcher to continue her supernatural
lessons. Her glimpse of the future demands she fight the dark forces
spreading across the earth.
But her new mentor has his own agenda, making her question everyone and everything she ever trusted.
When
Ember is thrust into the world of the Watchers, she learns of their
plans—ones that defy the scripture and make them enemies of the
Celestial Host. Ridding the world of evil gets complicated when it
becomes impossible to take sides.
As Ember struggles with morality, she soon discovers that there’s something more frightening than anything she’s faced before.
Karen Ann Hopkins resides in
northern Kentucky with her family on a farm that boasts a menagerie of
horses, goats, peacocks, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs and cats.
Karen's main job is home schooling the kids, but she finds time to give
riding lessons, coach a youth equestrian drill team, and of course,
write. She was inspired to create her first book, Temptation, by the
Amish community she lived in. The experiential knowledge she gained
through her interactions with her neighbors drove her to create the
story of the star-crossed lovers, Rose and Noah.
Karen grew up
about a mile from Lake Ontario in Upstate New York. She was bitten by
the horse bug at the age of five, and after diligently taking riding
lessons for several years, was rewarded with her first horse at the age
of eleven. The feisty horse's name was Lady, a Quarter
Horse-Thoroughbred cross, who became Karen's steadfast companion.
Through the years, the constant force in her life was horses.
Eventually, she found her place as a riding instructor herself. Before
accepting her fate in the barnyard, she worked a short stint as a
paralegal, traveled abroad, and guided tourists on horseback riding
tours in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
Karen is currently
working on her Amish mystery series, Serenity's Plain Secrets, along
with the YA paranormal/fantasy series, The Wings of War. Karen is also
excited to announce the Temptation series has been optioned for TV by
Pilgrim Studios and is available on Audible.

ReplyDeleteI agree. And in this case, it gives us a glimpse into the next book which I really love!
DeleteI believe the book covers are very important. A good book cover will get my attention and that's the book I will want to see what the story is about. Thanks so much for sharing & Happy Reading! Ps: I love Gaia and Embers book covers <3
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like them Salena. They really capture every about the series. That's what I really like!
DeleteI do think covers are important because they are a first glimpse into a book. Sometimes it really brings interest to a book for me!
ReplyDeleteI agree! A cover has to catch my eye before I'll reach for it on a shelf. I especially like books with rich, vibrant colors. (:
ReplyDeletedefinitely think the covers are important. they are the first thing that catches my eye usually.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely they are important. It's usually the cover that gets me to pick up or click on a book to read the blurb. The blurb then sells it or not. But, without the cover getting me to pick it up, the blurb doesn't have a chance.
ReplyDeleteI do because that's initially what catches my attention in a bookstore.
ReplyDeleteTo catch someone's eye? Yes on some level, but I believe that the most important thing is the synopsis. Sometimes books might not have appealing covers but the description of the book can change everything.
ReplyDeleteThe cover's of novels are important, when someone sees the cover of a novel it gives them a split second impression of the book, along with the title, that split second helps them decide if they want to pick up the book and read the blurb or not, which in turn makes them decide if they want to purchase the book.
