Destruction

I received a complimentary copy of DESTRUCTION by Sharon Bayliss.  It is Book One of the December People series.  Let me first say that it is published by Curiosity Quills, the publisher I recently signed with, so I was thrilled to read one of their novels.  The cover, a butterfly against broken glass, blew me away. 

After reading DESTRUCTION, I highly recommend it to my friends.  The writing caught me from the first paragraph, in which David awaits an important phone call.  I started the book at night, but became so involved in it I couldn’t quit.  It ended up taking me a few nights, but each time I started reading, it sucked me in.  The chapters are short, so I kept thinking, “Just one more.”

In a nutshell, this is a book about family and magic.  David, his wife, and their children are “dark wizards.”  I love fantasy and read it often, but those stories don’t usually involve so much family drama.  I loved that aspect about this book.
