    About this ebook

    After Jamie and her brother, Brandon, accidentally discover a cave in the center of a mountain, they stumble upon one of the most beautiful rocks they have ever seen. Shortly after, they are attacked by a mysterious creature and, during their recovery, start to exhibit unexplainable symptoms. Those symptoms lead them to an ongoing, secret civil war against the last two remaining covens of a creature we only know to be myth. One of which wants to bring that secret out into the world of humans...
    Little do they know, falling into that cave will spawn a chain of events, leading Jamie and Brandon on a life changing journey. A journey filled with danger, excitement, love, betrayal, and finding one's true place in the world. Wherever that may be.

      The beginning was kinda casual; a girl, her brother, a band, a job, a hot guy and all. But then I realized that throughout the whole initial part you can't help but feel that something's up. Something biggg is coming. It doesn't bore you. In fact, I started reading in fast forward mode. I wanted to know what it was. I wanted to know what's going to happen. I wanted to know more and I couldn't get enough of it. I traveled along with the main characters; in and over the mountains... And before I knew there were no pages left to read,...finito! How I hated that :-(I must add that after a long time an author has managed to imprison me witihin the pages of a book.This story carried me off to a whole new world. And that's exactly what I needed. At the same time it's helped me deal with "change". Some things change that can't be undone. So you gotta walk along with it. Move on.I thank the author for such a wonderful story and for unknowingly helping me to cope with change. Keep up the mindblowing work you do.

      The Foretelling by Jessica Acosta

      I acquired this e-book free from amazon and I can emphatically say that it was a delightful surprised wrapped in the fresh voice of a new talent.

      Let me first warn that this book is best enjoyed on a kindle or in a kindle for PC app and not quite so friendly in the Chrome-book app that they have for it. I was test driving the chrome at the time and endured the jagged right margin with no indents and no spaces between paragraphs and there was often some confusion about where paragraphs ended. I checked later on my other two appliances and found it to be an affectation of the poorly written kindle program for the chrome. Let me also say that this should in no way reflect poorly on the author- in fact- it says a lot that I couldn't put this book down even with those problems on the chrome.

      This is a sort of coming of age story. Jamie and her brother Brandon have recently left home and are trying to find their nitch in life. Brandon has his band and his band buddies, Jamie is not so fortunate as she only has the band by association. She's well organized but not yet focused on what she wants to do. So she helps out where she can with all the guys in the band and she is falling for one of them. Kyle is someone that she and her brother have known for a long time and she's becoming certain that she'd be comfortable with more than that as long as it doesn't mess with current friendships.

      This story is a lot more than that though.

      It's a story of changes and coming to understand ones own potential. It's a story of love, heart break, betrayal and growth. It's also a story of strange creatures and mystery.

      It starts out a bit slow, but that won't put you off. It's a slowly peculating mystery where Jessica keeps the reader wondering just what's happening.

      Brandon and Jamie start the story on a camping trip in the desert that goes just a bit awry when they wander into a deep cave where they both are injured and attacked by an unseen and deadly creature. Strange things begin to happen to them and it's only at about one third the way into the story that we discover a bit of what is going on. Trust me you won't want to put it down at least until you find out what that is.

      Then when you do, you'll have to finish it because things get really interesting.

      One of the amazing things about The Foretelling is how well the characters are portrayed. Not only did I easily identify with Jamie and Brandon and immediately feel a connection, but even some of the less likeable characters are still endearing enough to care about.

      The story is a well woven and nicely paced tale that takes you from beginning to end and leaves you wanting to pick up the next book as soon as possible to find out what is going to happen.

      Anyone who likes Anne McCaffery's Dragon stories will love this tale. I love mostly science fiction but the explanation and detail along with great narrative style were enough to keep me happy throughout.

      I really can't express how much I love the world you're building here Jessica.
