This was a unique book. Not something I’d pick for myself, but enjoyed all the less. Sara’s gift of flight was discovered when she was 8 years old. Sara is out of place in her life. She has very overprotective parents and feels like the odd girl out in every situation in life. Within a split second everything changes when her gift of flying from god saves her life but people are around and now her secret is out. Sara meets the charming Simon and discovers why her parents have been so protective all these years.
The gift from god thing was a turn off to me, but other than that I enjoyed this book. It was different from anything I've read in a while. It was fast pace and kept you entertained, but to some this might not be their cup of tea.
Tamra Lassiter’s writing is clever and very well written. I’m excited to try out another one of her books. Looking at the covers it looks like she crosses over between genre’s this one being more fantasy, but she also has written suspense and more.
I live outside Washington, D.C. with my wonderfully supportive husband and two daughters, one of which is approaching her teenage years. Help us all! If that isn’t enough, we have a Great Dane and an English Bulldog to keep us on our toes. It’s crazy around here and I love every minute of it!
Writing is my third career. I didn't set out to be a writer, it was just meant to be. My Mechanical Engineering degree from Virginia Tech prepared me well for my first career as an Engineer/Program Manager. My second career was in Human Resources. Long story, but I figured it out. I believe the best start for a writing career is to be a reader first and I’ve been an avid reader my whole life. I've loved to read ever since I picked up my first Nancy Drew mystery in the fourth grade. Now I love reading just about everything, but I don’t read sad books and I don’t watch sad movies either for that matter, no matter how many awards they’ve won. Life’s too short and who needs all that strife to bring us down?
Many of my words have been penned late into the evening, which explains why I’ve never viewed whatever television show you recommend to me. I would, however, love to hear your recommendations for a great read!
Thanks for hosting me today!
