I read "Sovereign Hope" by Frankie Rose which was the first book in her Hope Series. It was refreshing to read YA PNR that actually held my intrest, and it was also a bit surprising to come across such a well develpoed cast of characters. I am very excited to read Eternal Hope, and see what's next for Farley and Daniel. Those of you participating in the Scavenger Hunt: Happy Hunting!

Author: Frankie Rose

He
loves me, he loves me not, he loves me
When your friends go missing and you don’t know if they’re dead or alive; when you tie your soul to the one you love; when you kill to protect and your family suffers, there’s only one thing you can do:
Move to Montana.
Farley Hope is special. She was prophesied to kill the forebears of her bloodline- a race of cold-blooded Reavers, men who steal the souls of the living to gain power. The Quorum had counted on Farley ending her own life in the process, but when Kayden came to her aid and helped save both her and Daniel, he undid their plans. Now the Quorum are displeased, not only with Kayden, but with Farley and Daniel too. Though her father is now dead, Farley’s troubles with the Reavers are far from over. An ancient Immortal, trapped for a thousand years, wants Farley for himself, and he will stop at nothing to claim her.
With secrets that lead to anger and pain, that turn friendship to dust, the group must overcome the problems within their own circle before they have a hope of fighting off the powers that threaten their lives.

About the Author:
As a child, I was always accused of being bookish because I
wore glasses- big, horrible, ugly ones with too-thick lenses. Those kids, the
super smart ones who always know which tender insecurities to poke at in order
to provoke
life-long complexes, used to accuse me of reading too many books and that my eyes were going to rot out of my head (their words, not mine!)
The truth of the matter was a little more embarrassing: I used to sit too close to the T.V. That was the reason why I had to wear glasses, but kids don’t really care about small, insignificant details like the truth, and so I was labelled a nerd. The label kinda stuck, and after some sage advice from my awesome nana (nana, you rock!) I decided that if I was going to be abused for my supposed literary obsession, I might as well develop one.
I guess that’s how I got into books and reading at an early age. Since then, I’ve been ripping through books like they’re going out of fashion, which, thankfully, they’re not. Good thing, too, because I’m a writer now, and books are my business!
Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me on my journey- look for your names in the acknowledgements! And a big thank you to you, the reader. I hope you’ve fallen in love with Farley and Daniel just like I have, and that you’ll join them in the next book, Eternal Hope!

Excerpt – Written specifically for the Scavenger Hunt and cannot be
found anywhere but participating blogs:
Farley felt
her face redden, which was _________ inappropriate. Daniel and Kayden were
_______ she was watching, and for once their sparring lacked the flashy
showmanship they usually employed to _______ her. For the two of them, nothing
_______ beyond the dimly lit parameters of the hangar. Beyond the lunge, beyond
the parry, beyond the block.
This was how
it would really go down, if they ever meant to do serious harm to one _______.
Movements fluid and graceful, there was _________ primal about their circling.
Quick _______ of calculating eyes, green and blue, preempting the other’s next
move. Kayden’s hair was darkened with sweat, but both their chests rose and
fell with __________ regularity. In and out. Slow and steady. The stern,
focused expressions on their faces said ____ were in total control.
Farley let the
darkness wash over her and kept her presence hidden. The confrontation was too
___________ to interrupt. Bare chests, muscled and tanned; silver flashes of
metal as their blades sang through the air. Even Cliff would have been
impressed. Farley bit her ______ lip as Kayden darted _______ in a sure leap,
thrusting out with deadly precision towards Daniel’s throat.
The ______
would have been a killing blow. Would have been, if it had even ______. Daniel
sprang back and duck-rolled over the dusty floor, crouching into a defensive
pose. With his knife ________, his eyes lifted to fix on Kayden, but they _____
quite made it.
Farley’s heart
leapt to her throat. Those eyes, piercing and sharp, fixed on her _______. She
swallowed and braced against the wall behind her, trying to camouflage with the
_______. Kayden shifted forward, ready to take _________ of Daniel’s distracted
position, but the dark-haired boy simply lifted his hand. A wordless gesture: ____.
Kayden
stopped.
Robotically,
Daniel rose, his _____ suddenly vanished, and dropped the knife into the dirt.
Kayden’s apparent confusion only lasted a second; the moment he ________ it -
that she was there - was _______. One second he was ________ Daniel’s creased
brow, the next he had spun around impossibly quickly and was staring, too. Blue
and Green. Farley felt her throat closing up. She opened her mouth to speak,
but nothing came out.
Daniel brushed
a hand back through his slightly curling hair, his face trained into a nothing
__________. There was ______ he could do to hide the war in his eyes, ______.
“So you’re back.”
Silence
flooded the hangar. Farley took a moment to _______, pretending not to ______
Kayden’s fist clenching repeatedly ______ the handle of his knife.
“Yes,” she
whispered, her voice _______. “I guess I am.”
