The quaint village where Adela
Jane lives is surrounded by fear. At night, a centuries old green mist covers
the land and controls the animals within the forest. Lately, Adela feels
someone or something is following her every move. Unbeknownst to her, the mist
waits for the perfect moment to make her his. Adela feels trapped by her small
town life and burdened by her love she keeps hidden for her best friend’s older
brother, Nathan Alexander. But all that changes on her eighteenth birthday when
Nathan admits his love and desire to marry her. Adela’s joy is cut short when
the mist kidnaps her and takes her to his secret underground lair. Her
nightmare has only just begun when the mist makes Adela his bride.
What of the Jabberwocky fell in
love with Alice from Lewis Caroll’s Through the Looking Glass? That’s the
question tackled in The Reaping. A Young Adult with an atmospheric Gothic feel,
and elements from such classic novels, as Gaston Leroux’s Phantom
of the Opera and John
Fowles’ The Collector.
