Forged in fire, the monster is unleashed...
A fraudulent girl. A death with devastating implications. An underground military base housing the kind of untold horrors that make Holland's genetics look delightful by comparison. When life is a choice, but madness and torture head toward secrecy and conspiracy, what you have is a ferocious tale that begs the question: can normalcy and paranormal power co-exist? Weapon is proof that in the world of the living and the dead, only the dead survive. Buckle up for the fifth blistering installment of the series readers are calling "Intense!" and "Extremely hard to put down!"
INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR:
Q:Why should readers try this series?
A: This bold new series starts out looking at the life of a regular(ish) teen girl who's bullied at the hands of her mother, the paparazzi and her fellow students. But what happens over this nine book series is this unfortunate girl becomes the most badass girl in all of history. Most readers will appreciate this series because there is literally nothing like it out there right now, which makes the Swann series feel fresh and yes, highly addictive.
Q:What kind of series is this?
A:Swann and Monarch (books one and two) are both human stories steeped in high school angst, bullies, difficult parents and the twisted effects of human genetic modification. The third book, Clone, kicks this world wide open, unleashing a rapidly evolving world of urban fantasy. By the ninth and final book in this series, urban fantasy will have become dark fantasy, but by then you'll be so hooked that nothing else will matter (the author says with a Cheshire cat-like grin).
Q: What kind of readers will enjoy these books?
A: I find fans of Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent will appreciate the Swann series novels. Although this is not a rehashed version of any of the series listed above, Swann is for readers who love a strong, snarky heroine with real internal struggles who constantly wrestles with adversity while facing off with some of the most unusual villains in young adult fiction today.
Q:Are there adult themes in this series?
A: Yes. To stay authentic to the YA world, and to most of today's teens, there is some strong language, violence and adult situations. I personally feel this series should be enjoyed by ages 15 and above.
