I’m so happy to be bringing my review for Denial by C.R Rice Today. Thanks to Stephanie of Book and Wine Lovers Marketing and C.R Rice for my spot on the tour and the ARC of the book.
As Averie grows up her world is normal, safe, that is until she turns eighteen and Silas, a mysterious stranger, arrives claiming to be from another world and demanding she return with him to save both of their worlds.
The more she learns about him and herself the more truth she finds in his stories as a power sparks to life inside her. Struggling between maintaining her normal life and coming to terms with her newfound destiny, Averie fights to stay in control of herself and her new abilities.
With the help of Silas and her adopted brother Thane, Averie strives to gain control of her abilities to take back the Realms from the Betrayer Marcus and another unexpected enemy. With great power, comes great responsibility, and loss.
A book by an author I haven’t come across before. Denial by C.R Rice is the first book in a young adult fantasy series that took me by surprise. I only discovered I loved fantasy a few years ago, and I have discovered I really enjoy being transported to worlds that are the culmination of another person’s imagination.
Averie Hale celebrates her 18th birthday and she meets Silas, a mysterious stranger who has come from another world to reveal her destiny. She discovers she has powers and she is on a path that will save both their worlds. It is not without it’s dangers. Will she be able to save the Realms before it’s destruction is brought about?
This is a book you almost inhale. A fantasy with such vivid world building and highly detailed characters. C.R Rice has created a story I needed to read, constantly. No ifs or buts…I was there, with Averie every second. The rich imagery really aided me in picturing her, so I almost felt like I could have known her.
The way the author writes the story brings a sense of uneasiness right from the start. I was on edge straight away and as the plot developed the particular attention to small details built the tension throughout. I was hoping against hope Averie would manage to pull through and save the Realms!
A rich, perfectly paced fantasy that draws you in from the start. If you enjoy young adult fantasy…just pick this up!
Book available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo and other retailers in print, Kindle and Audiobook.
