REVIEWS#1 Top Rated Fantasy Romance#1 in Australia and Oceania Books#1 in Teen and Young Adult Australian Fiction Ebooks#1 Top Rated in World Literature#1 in Children’s Multicultural Folk Tales “I was expecting the story of a young girl dealing with changes in her family life and maybe a little romance. What I got was a sweeping epic of Samoan lore and star-crossed romance that grabbed on and wouldn't let go!” Liz Reinhardt, Bestselling author of Harlequin Teen YA Rebels Like Us and the Brenna Blixen Series.“How many times do you come across a book that gives you everything you want in a book? Telesā has it all. There's Leila, the girl that we can all relate to. She's smart and confident, but doesn't always know what to do. She goes to Samoa searching for a place to belong. She didn't expect to meet a boy. A certain boy, who she hates at first, who is also SMOKING hot. Daniel. Did I mention I'm in love with Daniel? With his rugby playing abs, amazing muscles, interesting tattoos, and killer smile. He can be vicious and competitive on the rugby field one minute, and sweet and chivalrous the next. Sorry, I'll stop now. This book is not just about Daniel…” Jillian Dodd, USA Today bestselling author of The Keatyn Chronicles, Spy Girl Series, and That Boy. "A household name with Pacific readers worldwide..." SUGA Magazine.“Telesā is full of depth and lots of twists and turns. Ms. Young takes you on a ride you won't forget. She writes a story with great detail but it never overpowers the point of the story. It is a great romantic thrill ride that has your heart pounding and pulse racing till the end.” Amy, Avid Reader Amy’s Reviews, Goodreads. “I was gripped from the opening pages and plunged into this epic story where mythology blends with the modern world of Samoa. I could not agree more that Telesā is the Twilight of the Pacific! It's addictive, exciting and romantic. I love that Leila struggles with the power bubbling inside her. It has that whole superhero-origins-story vibe. I was particularly captivated by the Pacific setting, the high school friendships, and the exploration of culture, myth and legend.” Rachael Craw, award-winning author of The Rift YA Sci-fi series. “I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's full of passion, conflict, tension, lies- and I absolutely loved it.” Neriah, Reviewer at Chocolate Coffee Books.

Blake Christian was an ordinary kid. Well, not really. Not at all, actually. I'll try again... (Ahem.) Blake Christian was imaginative and creative, a Jesus Freak, and a homeschooler. To put it simply: Blake was weird. But he didn't really know it. Most of the guys at church thought he was cool - and so did his pal, and occasional babysitter, Henry Turner (who was a teenager with a car and everything) - and that was enough for Blake. He liked his life just the way it was...if he was being watched, he didn't realize it...if there was danger, he stood just out of its reach...until something went terribly wrong. In the Unseen Realm, a battle raged over the soul of Henry Turner - and not just him - but all the others who would be affected by his life and choices. In a daring move to foil the enemy's attack on Blake and Cindy's faith, brother and sister are granted the ability to see into the Invisible.Suddenly their lives are full of angels and demons, of spiritual warfare and desperate intercession. Each choice could mean the difference between life and death, and if they survive the Awakening…it’s only the beginning.Covenant Keepers is a series for believers, dreamers, and seers, ages 8-108, who wish to walk the Path and learn the Power of the True Light. But be warned: the Unseen Realms are not for the faint of heart, and once your eyes are opened, there is no turning back.
