Newtimber Book One [Fractured Tour]




Book Title: Newtimber: Fractured
Release Date: June 21st
Tour Dates: July 15th -August 15th
Genre: YA Urban Fantasy

Book Description

There was absolutely no way a black dragon hovered outside of Newtimber. Sianna rubbed her eyes, but the dragon was still there, clutching a round object that looked like a spotted egg. And then the egg fell, hitting the ground like an atomic bomb, sending out waves of a slow-moving fog that distorted everything it touched.

The citizens of Newtimber change. The old man down the street stretches into a screaming tree. Sianna’s skateboarding friend, Matt, transforms into a giant green dragon. Pegasus. Sirens. Griffins. Vampires. Zombies. Creatures from the myths of every culture come to life through the people.

Even Sianna changes, her skin becoming stone hard, and she gains the ability to travel from the human realm into the dimension of the Fae, using it to free her father from prison and enlist his aid in battling the evil bent on taking over the world.

One person to heal a family, a town, and save the world. It seems an impossible task, but with the help of her new friends, it could happen. 

Right?



My Review:


This was a wonderful fantasy series. I just loved the world Hoover created and can't wait to read more about it. The main character is strong, compassionate, and protective. The story was exciting and kept me captivated from beginning to end. It's the perfect story for any young reader who enjoys fantasy. I can't wait to read the next book and find out what adventure Hoover takes us on next.


Dream Cast


 Aunt Akiko(Honami Suzuki)

Quote #1: "The green fog seemed to pull itself forward with finger-like tendrils, almost like a hound searching out a smell. It must have caught on to the man because all of the fingers pointed at him. The green stuff gathered and thickened, almost like a cat does when it’s about to pounce, and then pounce it did, completely covering the man. I could hear his screams as he was eaten by the mist."

 Matt Jefferson(Cody Linley)

Quote #3: “Go ahead and think I’m crazy if it makes you happy, but I saw what I saw. That wasn’t an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb. It didn’t look right or act right, not like the pictures and movies I’ve seen. It acted intelligent, choosing its victims and pouncing on them. It was slow, like . . . like . . .” I just couldn’t find the words, but wasn’t sure if it was because of adrenaline, fear, or my stupid brain. Frustrated, I stood and spun. “It was like watching pollen movng in the wind, but it’s no kind of pollen I’ve ever seen. It followed me.”

Sianna(Kuroki Plum Yarn)

Quote #7: I was a gargoyle. So not fair. Austin got to be a wolf. Natalia was a fairy, and Hanna, a Pegasus. I was a stone creature who squats on top of churches and looks mean and ugly.

~ About the author ~ 

Karen E. Hoover has loved the written word for as long as she can remember. Her favorite memory of her dad is the time he spent with Karen on his lap, telling her stories for hours on end. Her dad promised he would have Karen reading on her own by the time she was four years old … and he very nearly did. Karen took the gift of words her dad gave her and ran with it. Since then, she’s written two novels and reams of poetry. Her head is fairly popping with ideas, so she plans to write until she’s ninety-four or maybe even a hundred and four.
Inspiration is found everywhere, but Karen’s heart is fueled by her husband and two sons, the Rocky Mountains, her chronic addiction to pens and paper, and the smell of her laser printer in the morning.
