Book Blurb
Large gorgeous men, a hidden race, and a magical secret.
Ryanne Arden was on track to being Stormfield High School’s Valedictorian. Being the shy, quiet studious type, she’s always done her own thing. That all changed when a drunk man decided to get behind the wheel of a car. With the death of her mother, Ryanne is suddenly more alone than she’s ever been. With no friends or family to turn to, a local woman named Jane offers to help Ryanne in her time of need.
With graduation looming ahead of her, eighteen year old Ryanne must get her act together if she wants to get out of the small town of Stormfield, Maine and away from her painful memories.
Meeting the attractive Colton Wagner, changes everything. He awakes something in Ryanne that even she didn’t know she had. Magic. With her life suddenly thrown upside down, Ryanne has been thrust into a world completely unbeknown to her.
Being the only non-mage to ever gain magic, paints a target on Ryanne’s back. She’s the girl the whole mage world has been searching for. It has been prophesized for thousands of years that a young non-mage female would put an end to the chaos created by rogue mages, the Gadramicks. Their manipulative leader, Dravin, will do anything within his power to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.
Finding out that she's an intricate part to ending a supernatural war, Ryanne has the weight of all mages on her shoulders. With the help of Colton and his family, along with a healer, a dream-walker, and a loud-mouthed mage, Ryanne sets out on the journey of a lifetime. Can she overcome her insecurities and do what is needed of her or will she lose her identity behind the magic inside of her?
BlackMoon Beginnings is part one in the four-part Prophesized Series.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Ryanne Arden
was sitting in her room on her bed when she actually fell through the
wall. She meets a stranger named
Liam. He protects her and knows she
doesn’t belong in his world. She is sent
back to her world with his necklace. Her
life changes. She is now a mage and a
new world of magic opens up. Claire,
David and Colton are determined to help her learn and fight to protect
herself. She is part of a prophesy. No one knows what kind of powers she
possesses. David and Colton begin to
train her so she can protect herself.
She is also having visions of the future. When things become unsafe after Claire’s life
was threatened, the group moves to a cabin in the woods.
Dravin wants
Ryanne. He is angry that she was able to get away after he kidnapped her. Liam and his brother were able to save her
and return her to Claire. Dravin refuses to give up. He is determined to get her back. Ryanne gets unexpected help from a surprising
source. The battle with Dravin is brewing
and will happen soon. Ryanne believes
she will die that night. She fears the
outcome but refuses to let her friends get hurt because of her.
She is also
growing closer to Colton. Unfortunately,
there is competition for Colton’s attention.
Ryanne doesn’t believe Colton would choose her. She gives up and throws herself into her
training. When she has a vision of what
happens during the battle, she resides herself to her fate.
I liked this
book. It kept you guessing a bit. I’m still not quite sure exactly what
Ryanne’s role will be. The mage angle is
a good paranormal direction. I like how
she had no clue what he could do or what she way. I hope the author eventually explains more
about who she really is. She is welcomed
with open arms by Claire and her boys.
The fact that she can read their minds is fun. Of course, Colton is the only one she can’t
hear. However, the relationship between
them is a bit unclear. Ryanne likes
Colton but is unsure of how he feels about her.
His actions are confusing. I
wasn’t sure who she would be with Liam or Colton. Then as more things are revealed and you know
the score, the issue with Colton still seems unclear. The ending is obvious as the epic battle is
where the story ends for now. However,
there is a shocking turn of events at the very end. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I give it a 4 out of 5.
