5/31/2023 0 Comments A Breath of Eyre by Eve Marie MontWhen I was a child, our home was always filled with great books. What were you like as a young reader, and how did that influence the book that you’re debuting this year? Now, moving between her two realities and uncovering secrets in both, Emma must decide whether her destiny lies in the pages of Jane’s story, or in the unwritten chapters of her own… Then fate takes things a leap further when a lightning storm catapults Emma right into Jane’s body and her nineteenth-century world.Īs governess at Thornfield, Emma has a sense of belonging she’s never known-and an attraction to the brooding Mr. Reading of Jane’s isolation sparks a deep sense of kinship. But escape soon arrives in an old leather-bound copy of Jane Eyre… And her only romantic prospect-apart from a crush on her English teacher-is Gray Newman, a long-time friend who just adds to Emma’s confusion. Perhaps it’s because she feels like an outsider at her exclusive prep school, or because her stepmother doesn’t come close to filling the void left by her mother’s death. From the promotional copy:Įmma Townsend has always believed in stories-the ones she reads voraciously, and the ones she creates in her head. Eve Marie Mont is the first-time author of A Breath of Eyre (Kensington, 2012). Giselle refused to behave and even enjoyed his attempts to rebuke her, reveling in the rough handling a male usually held back with females. Kagan wondered where in the universe her unique species hailed from. Nothing like her kind had ever set foot on Cadi. How in the hell could she get out of this and if she did how could she possibly survive on an alien planet? Giselle shrunk back when she saw the creatures also had sharp fangs. Giselle noticed the fearsome creatures had long tails that rose out from what looked like chain mail kilts. From what Giselle could see their eyes were a stone cold obsidian hue. Their flesh was red like some kind of demon might be, with hair a uniform dark black. There were hundreds of aliens gathered for the auction, and these creatures were the largest yet. "If you're wise you'll keep quiet, pets don't speak on this planet." The creature admonished.Ī pet? Giselle's eyes widened. Giselle backed up and looked around realizing she was alone in a gilded cage. She sat up as one of the reptilian aliens entered. Giselle didn't know how long she lay near catatonic willing the terrible headache to go away. |
