From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Her
Black Wings (The Dark Amulet, #1) . . .
There was deep depth of emotional
despair within Amalya. She led a life that allowed her to survive, but always
right and when time came to do it right. She did, but the consequences she did
not foresee. Life for Amalya has changed for eternity. Now the big questions
was where would see complete eternity?
Elliott has spent forever doing a
job most do not want to take on. With his track record at being successful not
so good. He begins to doubt and despair for him sets in. He was no longer
wanting to do the job tasked to him. That was until Amalya. Or at least he
showed some hesitance to completely give up on the how job aspect.
Abaddon has had his eyes on Amalya
for a very long time now. Now that she is within reach he wants very much to
keep her. But there was a small hitch to his desire to have her. Free will.
Desire to do right. Desire to dream/hope for more.
This was a read that captured by
imagination, engaged my senses, and titillated my emotions. There were multiple
POVs to investigate and more than one view to absorb. There was more her than just a romance of two
souls at a crossroad. There were mistakes made, paths chosen, directions
changed, understandings made. The deeper I traveled the more invested I became
in wanting to know will she, wont she, will he, wont he, why, how. Just so much
going on and more was desired.
Looking for more than a paranormal
romance. Looking for more than just starting and ending. Looking for
satisfying, soul stirring, mind engaging, page turning reading enjoyment. Then
yes, I must recommend this read. I got what I was looking for and more. The
more made it so worth it.

BLURB
Amalya Rivers longs
to die and end her lonely existence—but it doesn’t work out that way…
A former runaway turned criminal, Amalya is
murdered and thrust into a treacherous world full of red-skinned, horned beasts
under the control of the Demon Ruler, Abaddon, instead of enjoying peace and
serenity like she hoped. But saving a young child from a certain brutal death
in the last moments of her life has earned her a chance at salvation.
Elliott the Redeemer
wants no part in saving another soul…
After one too many failures at redeeming lost
souls, the nail-biting, self-pitying Elliot has had enough of his work and
would prefer to live out his eternity on Earth drowning in bourbon. It doesn’t
matter that Amalya has grown black feathered wings signifying the good that
still dwells within her. He can’t risk failure again.
Amalya must save
someone from her past in order to escape Abaddon’s rule…
She has to prevent the now grown child she
saved from committing murder or risk returning to Netherworld with Abaddon for
good. She can’t do it alone, though. Amalya needs the help of the angel sent to
guide her, but their emerging love might not be enough to convince Elliot she’s
worth the risk.
Amalya loves her
black wings. She knows she’s meant to be an angel—and she will stop at nothing
to prove it…

Interview with A.J. Norris
How would you describe you style of writing
to someone that has never read your work?
I
mostly write in third person limited using multiple POV.
What mindset or routine do you feel the need
to set when preparing to write (in general whether you are working on a project
or just free writing)?
I need
to have a quiet place to write. Going to a coffee shop doesn’t work for me.
Do you take your character prep to heart? Do
you nurture the growth of each character all the way through to the page? Do
you people watch to help with development? Or do you build upon your character
during story creation?
I’m a
pantser, so I tend to jump right in and start writing. But I usually have the
beginnings of a character in mind before I start and let them tell me their
story on their own terms, they dictate what I write.
Have you found yourself bonding with any
particular character? If so which one(s)?
I’d say
that I’ve bonded with every character I write with the exception of one. When I’m writing I get immersed in that
character’s head and world. I think of it as method writing like method acting.
Do you have a character that you have been
working on that you can't wait to put to paper?
There
is a character in Her Black Wings, Joelle. Although he makes appearances in the
first, second and third books, I haven’t written from his POV yet. He will get
his own book and I already have his story planned somewhat.
Have you ever felt that there was something
inside of you that you couldn't control? If so what? If no what spurs you to
reach for the unexperienced?
I can’t
control my need to write. It’s like breathing, eating or sleeping. I must do it
or go insane.
