BLURB: 28-year-old San Francisco native, Allie Taylor, at least thought she was human. But when she meets her first real seer, a race of human-like beings discovered in the 1900s, he tells her that not only is she a seer, like him, but that all the other seers believe she's going to end the world. Unfortunately, no matter what she does, everything that happens after that only seems to prove him right.
My thoughts: One day your life is normal. Well, as normal as that word could possibly be. Then, not only do you get your world turned upside down, it's said that you're the cause of the end of it all? Wait....WHAT?
Okay, that sure seems to boggle me. i can only imagine how far worse that is for Allie, when she's facing this dilemma. Rook: Allie's War is a urban fantasy/ Paranormal story that readers of the genre are sure to enjoy. The writer has created such an intriguing premise, and though the beginning had a slow start, I quickly became invested in the story and the pages flew. I am curious to see what this author has in store.
