I've gotten the opportunity to read a book from Red Harvey in the past, and I thought she was a really great sport. She was very patient, and I know everyone wants their books read when they send them, but sometimes life just gets in the way, and patience usually wins me over more than email after email asking did I get a chance to read a book yet.
Im really excited about Red Harvey's "Daughter of Zeus." Why you might ask? Because not only is it Young Adult and fantasy driven(two of my favorite things), the main protagonist is Latina! I think it goes without saying Latinos/as usually get the short end of the stick in fantasy, and sci fi. Im not sure why, but the exclusion is often overwhelming. So it's a pleasure to see authors whom are not only Latina, but writing Latina characters. Because why shouldn't everyone get to be a leading lady or man?
Still not convinced? Why don't you check out this awesome cover and blurb?!?
Blurb:
With the power of a god, would you choose vengeance or forgiveness?
The future can be a terrifying prospect, especially when Ada Freyr discovers she can manipulate electricity. Ada is grief-stricken when her abilities result in the death of her husband. and terrified of being discovered by the Prominent-run State. Unusual citizens are labeled Undesirable, and are never seen again.
Ada drives to Atlanta, intent on finding her father. She blames everything that’s happened on him, and vows to kill him for ruining her life. However, once Ada meets her father, she realizes he’s no longer the alcoholic she remembers: he’s now a Congressman with a family and a new name, ready for a Senator’s seat.
Ada’s scheme lands her on the Undesirable list, leads a stranger to stalk her, and stunts her relationship with her siblings. Soon, she has to decide which is more important: a vendetta, or forgiveness.
