The
Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of Rain (A Stranger in the Woods, #1) . . .
I would turn over the
world to find this one person/entity/being that could take the pain away and
remove all loneliness from my life. I would not care if other believed. But at
what price will this all come. Sometime that unknown is the key and the known
is the lock that binds. Triangles can come full circle and change everything.
Rose has her hands full
and life just keeps moving on for her. I found that small town life has its
advantages. The disadvantages are just a given. There was a mystery for Rose to
discover or should I say uncover. Where will it all lead?
Fresh characters, small
town vibe with a fantasy attached to the woods. I would love to see what comes
next out of the woods. I believe that
India R.Adams have acquired herself a new reader.

BLURB
What if
you knew you had just met the other part of your soul—the one who could take
away all the pain and loneliness—but no one believes you because the rugged
stranger from the woods is nowhere to be found? Would you search for him? Would
you be strong enough to believe he exist somewhere out in the darkness where
you he found you? And if you were to finally find the stranger from the woods
and learn he is like no other tale that has ever been told… would you still
have the courage to love him?
Rose has no time for romance because her father has passed away from an illness plaguing her small town, and now her mother has also contracted the illness, leaving Rose’s two younger siblings to be her responsibility. But when her best friend forces her to be young for a night and celebrate her twentieth birthday with a bonfire and friends, Rose meets a stranger from the woods, and Rose soon learns he is no stranger at all. In fact, this magical being is trying to keep her… alive.
Two bloods of one will bring down the shadows, to cast, no more..

Phantom
pain has been described as the suffering sensation lingering in the place of an
amputated limb or organ. That’s what it felt like for me, except I didn’t know
which extremity had been severed—what part of my soul or heart had been taken
from me, not until confronted by this stranger in the woods. I say stranger—yet
his voice, his smell, his very essence resonates with me on a level I didn’t
know existed.
His
dominating hold on me is alarming, yet it’s something I’m sure I’ve hungered
for. The unrecognizable iridescent blue shapes
and symbols forming on his neck are
possibly a warning that this man is nothing I should want, but deep down I
sense he’s everything I need and have
needed for some time.
My
internal battle distracts me, causing me not to hear, “I’m sorry,” before it’s
too late. At the base of my neck, fangs
I hadn’t even seen sink into my flesh.
My body jolts.
His arms tighten.
The stranger is not going to release me.
Before I can feel the sting of his
betrayal, I feel a slight burn as something pushes into my jugular vein. The
heat continues through the channels of my body, and then, as quickly as it
began, the burn subsides. Whatever now swims in my blood causes a floating
sensation. My body relaxes to the point I’m sure I will soon slip into
unconsciousness. My weight is no longer my own. The stranger lays me on the
ground. His deep, soothing voice echoes. “I love you.”
On the forest floor, an uncanny awareness
takes over my senses. Leaves I have never noticed before have my full
attention. Their crisp texture in the brisk evening air... Even though my
thoughts are becoming random, I have a view of the stranger in his warrior
stance, knees bent, ready to attack. His right arm reaches behind him for a
knife in a weathered leather sheath that wraps around his bare chest and back.
He pulls it out with expertise—he has done this a million times. The florescent
fluid I had seen forming on the stranger’s neck drips from the blade, bathing
it in the foreign substance.
Many dark-robed figures approach us. By
the stranger’s posture, I know they are the enemy. This enemy swings at the
brave, lone fighter. The stranger is hopelessly outnumbered but never slows his
vicious response to this unwanted attack, biting and stabbing any dark figure
daring to approach. Blue liquid drips from underneath his long dark hair, down
his muscled, naked back onto a crisp leaf and puddles there. As the gathered
fluid vibrates with all the pouncing feet around me, I realize the stranger in
the woods is fighting… for my life.

Perfectly balanced between laughter and tears, her readers see how to empower their own perfect imperfections.

INTERVIEW
WITH INDIA R. ADAMS
How would
you describe you style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
Why is that such a hard
question for me? Hmmm, I would have to say my answer is... From the heart. I
feel my writing is from my character's heart. They are real to me and react as
though. I don't write to entertain, I write from raw
emotions
my characters and I are experiencing. So I would
say, any reader of my books is getting to step into someone else's world
for a while... Then the reader can ponder if they would've done the same as
which ever character they are living through.
Do you
have a character that you have been working on that you can't wait to put to
paper?
Many to be honest. But the one
who keeps calling out to me, wanting to be heard, is a woman from my new
novel, Girls Are Beautiful. After I finish releasing my
planned releases, Red Waters (the 3rd novella in the Tainted Water series),
Scar Me (the second novel in the Haunted Roads series), River (the second novel
in the Stranger in the Woods series), and Destiny (the
second novel in the Forever series) that book will see the light of day and be
in hands by the end of 2017.
I got
this one from a friend. If you could have dinner with 7 fictional character,
who would they be?
The seven dwarfs? I bet
they know how to party.
