The Eden Series
Eden-South Synopsis:
The betrayal that tore a family apart. Two brothers bent on destroying the other. A whole world on the brink of war.
Aiden has been through his second battle in the magical world of Eden. The victory is short lived and Aiden is sent racing toward his friends in the Capital. After being back in Eden with the Riders, he is eager to reunite with Wolf, Elisa and Logan, although he doesn’t realize just what he’s returning to. Surprises await him when he arrives in the Capital; his close-knit group of friends is slowly falling apart. On top of it all, another battle is just around the corner, one that will change everything.
Rain has made her choice, and now she is in some unknown fortress with the feared sorcerer, Aziz. She wants nothing more but to please him, but being his Queen isn’t as easy as she thought. While trying to learn sorcery, and dealing with Aziz’s advances, Rain is finding her new life a bit overwhelming. Just when she thought it couldn’t get worse, she discovers a secret of Aziz’s, and it is nothing she could have expected.
Rose has supported Callum throughout their journey, but now that the final battle is just around the corner she is faced with a hard reality. Everything she has gained with him could be taken away. Is she willing to live the rest of her life without him? Can she just stand by while he destroys everything, including himself? Will he ever be able to find peace? Will she?
In the third installment of the Eden Series fates will be decided, and the battle between brothers that has been a decade in the making will finally come to an end. Only one of them can be High King.

I’m surely in love with each of the guys in the book…This is just a full body cast.

You won’t be disappointed by this one. Those that love Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, and Divergent will surely enjoy this series.”

EXCERPT:
Perpetual darkness.
Stone walls surround you at every moment, offering no escape from the blackness that encompasses everything. The torches did little to light the way. No windows decorated the walls. It was damp and cold, the air musky and, at times, almost sickening with the stench of sweat, blood, and something else she did not want to know. It had occurred to her within the first couple of days that she was most likely underground somewhere. The earthy smell clung to everything. Even as her eyes got used to the lighting, her heart ached for fresh air and the warm touch of the sun.
Then there was the screaming. No matter the time of day, which was hard to judge, there was screaming. Most of the time is was the wailing of the beasts he created. Occasionally a very human scream would echo off the stone walls. Those would set her on edge, and she’d catch herself grinding her teeth together. More than anything, it was the enraged screams of someone, or something, that Rain couldn’t identify. A scream so full of hate and sorrow that she didn’t know whether she should cry for the person or be afraid of them. It was this scream that haunted her even in her sleep. She would pull the covers up around her neck and try to ignore him, but it didn’t help. He couldn’t be ignored. It wasn’t until his voice was raw and worn did he finally cease. Nothing could have prepared her for this.
Juls Review for Eden South
Where do I begin? Eden South had me riveted from the start! I couldn’t read this book fast enough. I went through so many emotions while I was back in Eden. I felt them all. The joy, loss, hurt and betrayal, all of them felt real. I had an internal battle with myself when the fight began with Jameson and Callum. Who do you root for when you want them both to win? Can they finally call a truce?
The world of Eden is in an uproar. It seems as though everyone wants a piece but will there be anything left with all the destruction that ensues? The army lead my King Jameson moves his troops to meet his estranged brother Callum with his army of the North. This is not your typical sibling rivalry. Its gone too far and lives are on the line. Who will be the better man and call it off? Or will their world come crashing with nothing left?
Aiden, a normal boy from another world, is back with all his friends and even with the pending war a calm has settled over him. Being near the rowdy bunch feels like home. He’s brought along with him Lily a forest being and she is the cutest thing ever. Her no nonsense attitude is very endearing and you cant help but love her. His protectiveness over her is very sweet and I hope if the ending is what I think it is, lives will be lost and someone will have to pay dearly for his loss.
Elisa and Wolf, the highlight of the series. I love these two and have rooted for them from the beginning. I hoped and prayed that they would be together even though they fought like cats and dogs. But opposites attract right? Can these two get their acts straighten out and finally admit their love for each other or is Elisa lost to Wolf forever?
I have to say the steaminess in this one was a huge surprise to me. Don’t get me wrong, its very PG but the innuendos are there and oh boy! The sexual tension was palpable but it wasn’t crude, it was very sweet and romantic.
The ending had me slack jawed and a bit frustrated only because I want to know NOW what happens.
Janelle’s ability to spin a tale of far off beings and a normal boy who has unknown powers is quite possibly be the most amazing thing I’ve seen of all the books I’ve read to date.

| Eden-West - Book 2 |
New beginnings, new conflicts, and new adventures arise in the second installment of the Eden Series, Eden-West.
Months after his initial journey to Eden, Aiden is learning to cope with his own transformation. His social status has changed, his friendship with his best friend Ethan is in jeopardy because of it, and worst of all, he has heard absolutely nothing from his new friends in Eden. What has become of the world he fell in love with? Are his friends safe? Is the war over? With no answers, and no hope for contact, Aiden decides to focus on his life in his world.
Just as he makes this decision, he encounters a familiar bright light and thinks he knows exactly what it means. Except the light isn’t at all what he expects and neither is the person behind it. When Aiden returns to Eden, it is to a whole new part of that special world, and a whole new set of adventures.
Weeks after Aiden was returned to his own world, Elisa is sent to Nysa, the revered Southern city, to retrieve the one thing she’d rather avoid – Wolf. Captain Turk instructed her to get in and get out - but that is easier said than done. When she finds her missing friend, she also stumbles upon a great deal of trouble. This trouble goes by one name – Markus, the leader of the Sun People.
