Loreena's Gift by Colleen M. Story Book Tour Book Review and Giveaway










Book Description:



A
BLIND GIRL'S TERRIFYING "GIFT" ALLOWS HER TO REGAIN HER EYESIGHT--BUT
ONLY AS SHE FERRIES THE RECENTLY DECEASED INTO THE AFTERLIFE.


Loreena
Picket thinks she knows herself. A blind young woman who lives with her
uncle, a reverend at a small-town church, she's a dutiful niece and
talented pianist for the congregation.


But they're both hiding a terrible secret. Loreena can kill people with the touch of her hand.


While
her uncle sees her as an angel of mercy, helping usher the terminally
ill members of his flock into the afterlife, Loreena has her doubts.


Torn
between doing her uncle's bidding and the allure of the fleeting
moments when her eyesight returns on the journey to the other side,
Loreena cooperates with her uncle until her troubled older brother
returns to town. When she reveals her power by saving him from a local
drug dealer, she is drawn into a sinister and dangerous world that will
test the true nature of her talent and force her to consider how far she
is willing to go to survive.


An
exciting debut that crosses fantasy and literary fiction, Loreena's
Gift is a thought-provoking meditation on life and death and what
ultimately lies beyond this world.

  My review;


"Loreena's Gift" by Colleen M. Story  is the kind of book that makes you think. It takes your imagination and grabs it and doesn't let go until the last page. As I was reading it I was able to feel that  I was right there watching this story. Loreena Picket is a young person who is blind and has a huge secret. Her uncle who she lives with know what her secret is. If she touches people they will die. She really does not want to do what her uncle wants her to  but she really has no choice. When her brother shows up everything is revealed and it brings many more problems with it. What is going to happen to her? What is going to happen to her family? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review and all opinions a re mine.

  5. Why do I want to win you ask? Well, first let me say I am a avid reader, I love many Genre's and am always on the hunt for the next best book I have ever read. I want to sink my brain deep into a book, and get lost. I do not buy paper backs any more, but love to collect them, and read them, feel them, miss them, and smell them. Ok ya that may make me sound creepy, but i love the feel of a paper back in my hands, I use a kindle because it is easy and always have a book library with me, but I love a paper back, and I would love to have this one, and love it too. thank you for the giveaway
