Book synopsis:
Since witnessing her parents’ murders
at the age of eleven, Phoenix’s only purpose in life has been to uphold her
mother’s dying words- to be strong and survive. But surviving outside of The
Walls- outside of The Sanctuary- is more like a drawn-out death sentence. A
cruel and ruthless city, Tartarus is run by the Tribes whose motto is simple,
“Join or die.”
Refusing to join and determined to
live, Phoenix fights to survive in this savage world. Trusting no one, she
lives as a rogue, fending only for herself. Then in a moment of rash judgment,
she breaks all of her rules to save a child, and in that moment her life is
turned upside down. When the rescue mission goes awry, Phoenix is captured by
an underground group who claims no allegiance with either the Tribes nor The
Sanctuary. She finds herself in the most dangerous game of survival she has
ever played.
In her captivity, only one person- the
handsome and oddly sympathetic Triven- shows Phoenix something she has never
before experienced: kindness. While warring with unfamiliar emotions and still
skeptical of her captors' motives, Phoenix quickly realizes that these people
may just hold the key to her lost memories. But who can she trust, when no one
can be trusted? Not even herself.
About Jennifer:
As a child Jennifer loved getting lost
in the stories of others, but struggled greatly with reading. A notoriously
slow reader who stumbled with words and spelling, Jennifer shied away from
books, leaning heavily on musical theater and movies to get her inspirational
fix.
It was not until in her mid-teens, when
a persistent friend convinced her to read the Harry Potter series, that
Jennifer found her love for the written word. J.K. Rowling’s books opened doors
not only to the fascinating world of a young wizard, but to a life filled with
a multitude of literary friends and fantastical worlds. Once a timid reader,
Jennifer now devours books and loves getting lost in a new series.
Jennifer had wanted to write her own
novel since her early twenties, but unfortunately inspiration doesn’t always
strike on command. Her first book, The Chosen, was completed in 2013.
But as most first attempts go, it was a flop. While looking through a multitude
of rejection letters, inspiration struck again, putting Grace’s story got on
hold as Phoenix’s began.
New World: Rising began to fill Jennifer’s brain, flowing like a fully opened
valve from her fingertips. What was once such a struggle in her early years
suddenly became a passion.
When Jennifer is not writing, she is
enjoying life in Colorado, rock climbing, camping, exploring new foods, playing
with her golden retriever, Duke, and sharing her life with her handsome and
wonderful husband.

I love all genres but especially the paranormal, scifi, horror, medical thrillers.
