Did you miss my new release?

Lion Within is available now!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, read the rules at A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along!

This week I read I Become Shadow, the debut novel of Joe Shine. Be warned that it is book one of a series, and book two is not out yet! But it was a very satisfying read with a full plot arc, not just a teaser. I Become Shadow is a bit of a thriller and a bit of sci-fi. Young adult. Young girl trained to be a lethal weapon. Good relationships and character development. Cheeky, fun voice.

I zoned out. Zoning out is something I could do really well. Easily a top five skill. You know what? Scratch that, it’s number one by a mile. I’m really good at zoning out.

Joe Shine, I Become Shadow

shadowtwitI’ve copied less than the full Amazon description, because I think it was too much of a spoiler. Here is the shortened version:

When Ren Sharpe was fourteen, she was kidnapped by a shadowy organization called FATE and trained to be a human weapon.

Now, four years later, she receives her assignment: protect Gareth Young at all costs. Currently a student at Texas A&M, Gareth will someday change the world. FATE calls people like Gareth “FIPs”—future important people—and they’re everywhere, each with a FATE-trained shadow.

    Sounds like a good story. I like science fiction. This one also sounds like it could have a romance plot too. Happy reading!
