Description:
Tragedy has made Keaira wise beyond her twenty years. Forced to work for the General, a commanding man who blackmailed his way into her life, she was ordered to study self-defense and master knife throwing. In the hidden community of Shifters, falcons are considered weak, a fact which may ultimately save her life. To escape his cruelty, she will need to call upon her quick-witted falcon side, but the General has other plans – ones which involve his only son, Carson.
When unexpected feelings form between Keaira and Carson, the General quickly moves his pieces into place, launching his quest to take over the world. If she wants to survive, Keaira must stay one step ahead in the General’s deadly game and discover his weaknesses. Even if it means risking her life and the lives of those she cares about most.
With war on the horizon, sides are being drawn. Deadly secrets must be exposed. Time is running out for Keaira and all of mankind.
Review:
Stolen Time by Angela Rae Harris is the start of her The Time Series, and is a novella. Stolen Time is also Harris’s debut novel. The general (main bad guy) is a real nasty piece of work, he is a master manipulator.
The heroine starts out as a real shy girl. Her boyfriend is totally into her, and she seems a little skittish, but Keaira is very wary, and we find out why throughout the book. I love the twists throughout the book.
Hmmmmm !!!! There are a few points of view, and it does get tend to get a little confusing, but pretty quickly, you start to get the hang of it. I liked this story, even if it was a little jumpy at times. I’m hoping for more books in the series, as I think it has great potential. But it needed a bit more !!!
I also think it is a great read for young adults, with a great twist on a genre I love. I just discovered that the first full novel will be released in the spring of 2014, Present Thought. Looking forward to seeing where Harris will take us in that book.
