1. Blog Tour: Key of Kilenya and October Blog Hop



Hello readers! I've got a double header today. First I've got a feature about a new fantasy novel called "The Key of Kilenya". Then I've got a contest for my October Blog Hop, where you can win a signed copy of "The Last Archangel".  Please have a look at both parts of the post. 


First a little about the plot: 
When two vicious wolves chase fourteen-year-old Jacob Clark down a path from our world into another, his life is forever changed. He has no idea they have been sent by the Lorkon—evil, immortal beings who are jealous of powers he doesn’t know he possesses—powers they desire to control.

The inhabitants of the new world desperately need Jacob's help in recovering a magical key that was stolen by the Lorkon and is somehow linked to him. If he helps them, his life will be at risk. But if he chooses not to help them, both our world and theirs will be in danger. The Lorkon will stop at nothing to unleash the power of the key—and Jacob's special abilities.



My take: 
Andrea is a debut author with a promising start. The book is highly imaginative, which is the greatest strength as a fantasy author. Her ability alone to come up with exotic-sounding names is impressive. The pacing is good and keeps the reader engaged, with plenty of surprising twists. The author did a good job of providing an interesting beginning to the story that did not drag down the pace.  Andrea has set the readers up well for additional books and, I'm sure based on the first installment that the following installments will only be even better.
