Review:

Thank you to iReads Book Tours and Daniela Valenti for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own. 

Amanda is an ordinary girl until a solar flare opens psychic powers she didn't realize she had. Her life takes a complete turn and suddenly she is fighting evil and finding out how strong her powers actually are. Spoiler Alert! She is super strong!

I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. I thought the story was really fun and engaging. It didn't take long before it captured my attention. The magical aspect was done very well. I thought it was creative and unique as I've never read anything quite like this before. My favorite part of this book is the relationship between Amanda and an unlikely match. The ending was just about perfect. It left me in anticipation for the next book in the series. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one from start to finish and I can't wait for the second book. If you're looking for a book with romance, magic and just a few secrets I'd recommend giving this one a try. 

Author Bio

Daniela Valenti is the pen name for a Canadian psychiatrist who writes Paranormal Fiction. That may seem incongruous, but it’s not really. The work in her chosen field and her writing dovetail nicely. She is able to draw upon her work as a psychiatrist to create multidimensional characters who are simultaneously powerful and vulnerable. Daniela lives in Montreal and holds a medical degree from McGill. She speaks French and regards herself a chatty introvert. Growing up, she was a voracious reader of sci-fi and fantasy. Her interests today include supernatural lore, skincare and fashion, gorgeous travel destinations, true crime, and learning about narcissism and psychopathy. She’s thought a lot about love and evil and maintains that narcissism is the true nature of all evil. Daniela has traveled extensively. Her love of the exotic dominates many of the settings where the characters in her stories romp and play their parts. Her prior attempts at writing began at age nine with a story about a doctor’s cat, and then a short sci-fi story at age twenty-three. Thirteen years later, her foray into serious-minded writing simply happened. She began writing in 2017, after she returned from a trip to Prague for an international forensic psychiatry conference. What she learned there, combined with her impressions of Prague, her prior ruminations on the nature of love and evil, and her clinical knowledge all combined to create the first book in her series. It was a moment when all sorts of aspects of herself, her life experiences and her interests came together, like a self-assembling puzzle. The story came to her like a movie, unfolding in her head as she sat on an airplane, staring at the screen-less back of the chair in front of her, for the eight-hour trip back to Canada. Once set in motion, the wheels of creation kept on turning, and resulted in the Sentinel 10 series.
