Luminosity 

Escaping Demons Saga Book 1 

Buy Link  

 Book Blurb:

Jasmine Johnstone's life was relatively normal until she was forced to live with the Stevenson family. As she stayed she found she had no choice but to battle mythical creatures. Strengths she never knew she possessed began to surface, surprising those around her. Her only chance of surviving the rising tide of evil was Nathan Stevenson. Could she really trust him as he fought against his love for her? With the world against them and time running out, would their love be enough to defeat demons?

 Review:

Author Stacy McWilliams creates a world of suspense and horror as Jasmine Johnstone's life is up ended. The reader feels Jasmine's terror as she is thrust into a world vastly different then she has ever know. We see the pain and suffering as well as the attraction she feels for Nathan. McWilliams tells a tale that sticks with the reader wondering about the possibility of demons and what lies in Jasmine's future.

The YA novel is book 1 in the Escaping Demons Saga, but I suggest you read Nathan's story Candlelight as well to glean more about his story and role in Jasmine's life.

So a little about this book, Dancing in the Athenian Rain~
When Donna is sent back in time to Classical Athens, she's furious at Dr. Stephens for sending her against her wishes. Then a Greek soldier purchases her to be his wife.

She's forced to learn a new language and culture, and faces her fears of never returning to her own time. The society hates her, especially because they think she’s an Amazon, which forces her to confront her issues—being compared to her genius brother, borderline abusive friends, and a cheating boyfriend.

But her husband, Peleus, is kind and patient. Although against her best judgment, she allows him into her heart. He counters all the negative voices from her past, but those voices drive a wedge between them. She must let go of her fears, her inhibitions, and insecurities, and admit her feelings, or she could lose him and the life they’ve built.
