BOOK OF THE DAY: Bound In Blue by Heather Hamilton-Senter

by Heather Hamilton-Senter
 



BOOK DESCRIPTION
Gods walk among us—all you have to do is See.

High school senior Rhiannon Lynne couldn’t get noticed even if she walked stark naked into the cafeteria and started playing the banjo. While tap dancing. As if that weren’t strange enough, Rhi has synesthesia—she feels in color. It takes being almost drowned by a Celtic river goddess for her to discover she’s been bound by a spell that has hidden her from the world and her own mysterious heritage.

As Rhi starts to see that her colors belong to magic, she finds herself at the center of a conflict between gods, humans, and the lost world of Avalon. She’ll need to figure things out fast if she wants to be a player in the coming conflict and not a pawn. Each side has a claim on her loyalty, but each one could decide she’s the real threat.

Hopelessly attracted to a god of thunder; deeply connected to a boy with no memory of his past; irresistibly drawn to a creature with a taste for flesh—Rhi’s choices could decide the fate of worlds, but their choices could decide hers.

Maybe not being seen wasn’t so bad after all.

REVIEWS
5.0 out of 5 stars A Whole New World June 17, 2014
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is the stuff that legends are made of. Literally.

When we are first introduced to Rhi she has just had her whole world turned upside down. Simply put, nothing is as she thought it was. In her struggle to find some type of normalcy, she must come to terms with the role she has to play in the battle between wrong and right, between black and white. She's quickly learning that there is no grey.

Along Rhi's journey we meet many colourful characters. We quickly learn that there are no small characters in the book. Each character has an integral part to play as the story unfolds and as Rhi discovers who she really is and what she will stand for.

The author has an innate gift for writing and takes the reader on a fast-paced journey. Adventure and mystery, magic and intrigue await you at every turn. This book comes highly recommended!
 
 
5.0 out of 5 stars New take on Arthurian and Celtic legends June 13, 2014

Not only did I enjoy seeing familiar characters from myth and history in new roles, but I loved the color-based magic. The author has a real flair for description, almost painting the scenes into my mind, so I could see things unfolding as I read them. The story flows quickly from one action-packed scene to the next, and builds to a satisfying climax. This was a great read and I'd recommend it for teens and adults alike. I can't wait for the next book!
