Mel is just your typical high school student. The usual dramas that come with being that age….. A possible new love interest and the fact her best friend is in love with her! See totally normal stuff. So when she finds out that she’s not human! Well, that throws up a lot of questions, and she needs answers, like now! Finding out those answers (will make sense of the prologue) only make her life more complicated! Oh and her bitter enemy The Ivies) want her dead! Wait! She has enemies that want her dead! Could her life get anymore complicated? Well yes it can, she can also wield magic! And her parents decide to foster a child, but not a little one! No he had to be an annoying senior in her school!! So where does her best friend Zach and her new love interest come in? Can they be trusted? Mel begins to look at everyone as a potential enemy! Wow! That was totally different from anything I’ve read so far. What a great story. Very detailed, very meticulous and well thought out. Lots of background story (which will also make the prologue make sense) Seeders are supernaturals who give life to seeds that will eventually grow into the next generation. The bad guys are the Ivies, they want to annihilate the seeder population from existence, and by separating the next generation and hiding them from the Ivies, the Seeders can try to guarantee that it doesn’t happen. So will Mel ignore her growing power’s? Or will she go home to Green Lands and learn more about her heritage and help in the fight to win against the enemy? But if she does that she’s going to have to leave all and everyone she knows and loves….. And now I’m anxious to read what happens next. It doesn’t hang on a cliffhanger, but it does leave it open to another book (which I’m hoping will be soon) 🙏 I’d highly recommended this book to lovers of the paranormal and the readers who like something a little different.
