No Time to Cry (Nine While Nine Legacy, #1) by Stasia Morineaux
Isabelle has life right where she wants it after recovering from heartbreak and deceit. She has the perfect apartment, amazing friends, a flourishing career, and financial security. But one fateful night, the night of her birthday bash, events take place which alter that life beyond her wildest imaginings…and she is no longer Isabella.
She’s thrust quickly into the most secretive inner-workings of Death itself, as well as an otherworldly dominion of ancient Celtic magic, and beings that we were taught as children were only fictional creations of wildly whimsical minds.
She yearns for the now unmistakable simplicity of her old life; this one is full of dangers, unanswered questions and cryptic dreams. And whispers, haunting whispers in her mind that send shivers through her…but in the most agreeable way.
After one particularly anomalous dream in which she learns of the Nine While Nine Legacy, things get truly precarious.
“Nine Will Rise,
Nine Will Fall,
The Old Shall Replace the New
The New Shall Become the Old”
Now someone sees her as a risk…and wants to eliminate her.
Luckily, she falls under the protection of her guardian—unless she leaves his territory—which is the one thing wants the most…and wants the least.
A new world order is coming…but it’s not the one that was expected.
Manda's 5 Star Review
Wow this book was amazing. It was exactly what I needed to get out of my book slump. I am a huge fan of paranormal books but very rarely find books in that genre that really stand out. From the very start this book stands out and completely captures your attention. Once I cracked the pages I could not put it down. The writing is fantastic and the storyline is amazing and original. This book does not read like it is written by a new author. The story is complicated and complex and reads as though written by a seasoned author. Some of the terminology can get a bit confusing at times, but the author provides us with a glossary and pronunciation guide in the back of the book to help you along.
The descriptions and imagery the author provides are beautiful and make you feel like you are really there seeing everything. The dream sequences are a perfect example of beautiful writing and fantastic story telling.
The characters are amazing as well. Isabelle is just getting her life back on track when the unexpected happens and she finds herself completely lost and confused. There is so much she doesn't understand and only has Liam and Gideon to rely on. The problem is they don't seem exactly sure what is going on either. There is so much more I want to know about Gideon and role he will play in this amazing adventure. He comes across as dark and broody but there is so much more to his character. So much mystery in this book and you just know that this is going to be an epic story. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book. I am hooked and Stasia Morineaux you have a new fan. This is a must read for all my fellow paranormal,fantasy fans.
