“… an energetic, surprising final act that spirals into an unexpected but welcome resolution… This colorful Sci-Fantasy tale boasts exhilarating tension and superb worldbuilding.” — Kirkus Reviews
Author J. Wint’s young adult dystopian series starts with a bang and should appeal to sci-fi and fantasy lovers alike. The plot moves at a blistering pace, with a narrative that also incorporates elements from adventure and mystery genres to keep you on your toes and turning the pages with eager anticipation of what’s to come. – Readers’ Favorite
There were so many moments as the plot barreled forward where I realized amazing connections that I had overlooked in the early
chapters, making it a book to gleefully read again. Surprising and thoughtful, the plot builds steadily and ends with a bang. –Indies Today
J. Wint has created an entirely new universe set in the semi-distant future that is easy to believe and impossible to put down. I absolutely love when genre lines are blurred, and The Prism Effect is a perfect example of combining science fiction, mystery, supernatural, and action. Even athletics and technology make a fair appearance, as we are introduced to the newest, futuristic sport since Quidditch. – Readers’ Favorite
The suspenseful bits are ratcheted up high and the mysterious, secretive atmosphere will have readers at the edge of their seats and resisting the urge to shuffle forward a few pages. I absolutely love it when an aura of mystery permeates throughout the entire telling of a story. Wint left enough details unresolved that readers will be waiting with bated breath for the next instalment in the series. — Online Bookclub
Superbly written, the story fires the imagination from the very beginning. The combination of the race against the clock and the distinctive characters creates a suspenseful and unforgettable first book in what promises to be a spectacular series. – Readers’ Favorite
Learn how it all started.
BECOMING AN IMMORTAL HAS A PRICE…
Eighteen-year-old Brindall Harper never imagined he would fail his rite of passage called “The Day of the Nail.” Now marked as an immortal, he is forced to lead a decades-long war that rages over control of the fabled Skylight System orbiting in earth’s atmosphere. Suddenly, everything is on the line, including his family’s life. However, victory means a one-way ticket to the utopian haven for him and his loved ones if he can survive the deadly war.
Brindall is sent to an elite war academy to hone his skills, where he is teamed with several other young immortals. As they prepare to lead the deadly campaign, Brindall begins to notice cracks in the so-called ‘utopia’ they fight for. There are undercurrents of manipulation—someone is trying to control him and the other powerful immortals for a more sinister purpose. The lines of reality become even blurrier when he faces dark immortals on the battlefield.
Brindall seeks the truth behind his immortal heritage, a truth that not only threatens his mission but the very existence of his ancient race. He soon finds himself at the heart of a grim conspiracy that could unravel the foundations of the war itself. With the clock ticking and the fate of his family hanging in the balance, Brindall faces a harrowing truth—if he fails, the human race may not survive.
Every haunted home has a secret to share…
Paranormal Realtor, Gwenevere Arris, is a retired witch. She hung up her wand long ago. After serving in the Ministry Forces, dealing with the trauma was a big problem, until she found her medicine—selling homes…or rather, helping young families establish their dream of owning a home. The land of Ambriel has no shortage of haunted homes, especially in the northeastern province of Kalispell. Cleansing homes, then flipping them, turns a hefty profit, and business is good. But Gwenevere’s guilty conscious won’t leave her in peace, and she feels that she’s forgetting why she began selling homes in the first place.
When an unexpected raven shows up on her doorstep, Gwenevere realizes that people are beginning to notice her special talent. A high-profile realtor in the luxurious Valeside Beach area wants her to join his team, and cost is no object. It doesn’t take much to convince Gwen, and she leaves behind the snow-covered slopes of Kalispell for the sun-drenched beaches of Valeside.
Her mission is to sell a landmark estate named Hidden Palm Grove, also known by the locals as The Devil’s Paddock. Though the estate’s wealthy client wishes to remain anonymous, selling the massive castle won’t be easy, considering the restless spirits that reside within.
Helping Gwen is a genie named Patricia Oshner, a.k.a., Posh. However, witches and genies don’t get along, and Gwen isn’t thrilled about the pairing. But she also acknowledges the difficult challenges she might face and is determined to make her new partnership with Posh work.
Gwenevere has until Christmas Day to crack the case and cleanse the castle. Though she’s never met a house she couldn’t fix, this one promises to push her perfect record. She begins to question what secrets she might uncover within the walls of Hidden Palm Grove…secrets that might be better off not seeing the light of day.
