Synopsis
I am Arie Belle and up until my mother’s unexpected and mysterious
death my life had been pretty simple, but then things became dark and, at times,
hopeless. Even my uncanny ability to
communicate with nature had turned its back on me. My only saving grace is my lifetime
friendship with the boy next door, River, whom I had always thought of as my
soul mate up until my eighteenth birthday when everything seemed to
change. My body tingles with heightened sensations
and my emotions veer out of control.
They are further tested when Ashe, a beautiful stranger with a powerful draw,
enters my life and challenges my heart and soul. Amidst the rush of feelings after years of
numbness, my true destiny slowly unravels and my journey to find out what I am,
to find my mother’s killer, and stop my own death becomes a frantic rush before
the next full moon. This powerful story encaptures
the true meaning of love and the dark corners of life that can either suck you
in or save you.
Melanie's Review
*5 STARS*
Let me start out by saying that Dani Hart is a really, really great writer! She wrote so beautifully that you could literally picture everything she was talking about and you felt like you were actually there. I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I loved how very little information was given throughout the book and you were kept in suspense until you got towards the end. I loved every character...River and Ashe were my most favorite. I do have to say that Arie is one lucky girl…having two insanely gorgeous men wanting you and willing to do anything to keep you safe I kept going back and forth who I’d rather be with…oops I mean who I’d rather Arie be with… but I think either way she couldn’t really go wrong.
At 16, Arie very suddenly loses her mother who is the only real family she has. Her best friend River and his family step up and want to help take care of her but she is depressed and secluding herself from them and the rest of the world.
As her 18th birthday nears, strange things start happening to her and she learns that her best friends River and Star may know more about her than she knows about herself. But no one is able to fully explain what is happening to her. With the help of her friends, Arie must now head out and try to discover who and what she really is.
I am so glad that Dani gave me the opportunity to read this book. I very much enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to others. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where the author has made me feel and see like this book has so thank you for that, Dani!
About the Author
My passion for writing started at a very young age. It started with a multitude of diaries as
soon as I could write well, then poetry, then short stories. I received my BA at USC in Theatre with an
unofficial minor in writing. While at
USC I wrote my first screenplay and post-graduation I was hired to write
another screenplay, which I did successfully.
I have since started several books, but have never had the courage or
time to finish them. I missed it, but I
was discouraged from my years in the industry and I was scared to go back, so I
had convinced myself I was too busy and it would be a waste of time. Then I started reading again which reignited
my passion for writing. I started writing a story that had been brewing inside
of me over the years. The characters
were slowly developing and itching to break out onto paper, so in the summer of
2011 I wrote the first two chapters.
Life got busy again and my passion was pushed aside, but then I met an
amazing person who loved my story and encouraged me to start writing again.
With that said, I am in a happier place now.
I am fulfilling my inner desire and passion to write while raising a
family and living life. Thank you so much for your support! And I hope to keep
the stories coming!!!

Excerpt
“I don’t know what it was about today, but I was
starting to feel alive again. My body was responding in ways it never had
before. I let him hold me for what seemed like an eternity. Time turned into
hours rather than minutes and my breathing became irregular. My vision turned
crisp and clear among the darkness and shadows of night. River turned me around
and touched my face gently. His fingertips caused electric shocks to pass over
my skin. I closed my eyes and let the chill of the night be swallowed by the
heat generating between us. I could hear the creatures of the night dancing
across the broken fall leaves on the ground and the hoots of owls that filled
the tree lines. I swear I could even hear the whisper of baby birds being
tucked into their nests. All of my senses seemed to be heightened and I was
enjoying every moment of it. A soft pressure pushed on my lips and I could
taste the sweetness of River. The tingle on my lips erupted into explosions as
I responded desperately. The passion between us rose by the second as if our
bodies had been waiting an eternity for us to kiss again. His hands crawled
down my back increasing the intensity of the moment. My hands had become limp
in the embrace, but now came alive and found his face and locks of hair. I felt
more alive in this moment then I had in years. I wanted more! River pushed me
up against the car as the desperation in our kiss intensified. And then it was
quiet. The rustling of the leaves stopped, the owls went silent, and the quiet
whispers of the birds ceased.” ~Reality
