In the beginning, the female main character, Alexis Ann Carmichael, a.k.a. There are pros and cons in this book and I'm going to start with my favorite parts about it first. **I received an ebook copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.** In her spare time, if she has any, she enjoys shopping for derelict furniture she refinishes to exercise the interior design part of her brain. She worked as an interior designer for several years, but she's always thought she might like to be a writer when she grows up. She is an avid student of art and design, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of West Georgia in 2009. She does everything backwards because she is weird like that, but then, she is an artist and artists are notoriously "unique" and "quirky."
Melissa decided a long time ago that the “life checklist” everyone else was clutching so tightly in their fists, just wasn’t for her. Today, she is back in Atlanta-for some reason she can't seem to stay away from the ungodly heat that makes her long for things like "lake effect snow" and wind that will knock you flat.
She still thinks of Cleveland as home, so it was only natural for Emerge to take place there. Craven (the "A" stands for Ann-in case you were wondering) was born near Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to Cleveland, Ohio at the age of seventeen. A dangerous world where she will have to fight tooth and nail to defend the power and freedom that is her birthright. She has always been different, but even among her extraordinary friends, she and Aidan are special.Īs Allie struggles to maintain her tenuous grasp on the power that threatens to overwhelm her, she worries she will lose herself in this strange new world. She struggles in ignorance, uncertain of what is real and what isn’t. He smiles and welcomes her into his circle of friends, who aren’t exactly comfortable with Allie, but they seem to get her in a way most people don’t.įinally, Allie has a real shot at normal and rides that high right up to her sixteenth birthday when she wakes in agony-an experience Aidan insists they have all faced. When an unexpected move to Kelleys Island brings Aidan McBrien crashing into her life, Allie is thrown by his reaction. She has no cause to believe that equation works differently for her, but there has to be a reason the world treats her like a pariah. Allie Carmichael has always believed life is simple.
