At a time when most girls need their mother more than they would like to admit. Sadly, Charlie was shuffled around from foster home to foster home until she became a ward of the state.Dr. Tinsdale the school principal would say, "Trouble always seems to find you, Charlie."It was not like Charlie was going looking for trouble, but she found herself coming to the defense of those less fortunate more often then not. Protecting others was engrained in her as her parents had protected her.It seems her most recent altercation might land her in some serious trouble, so, when Dr. Tinsdale offered her an out she did not have much choice but to take it. He introduces her to his friend Sebastian and when Sebastian showed Charlie what her life could be like, she was blown away.

As soon as she completes her training he throws caution the wind...Then there is this whole prophecy thing.  Just yesterday Charlie was an ordinary girl.  Now she is expected to save the world?I love the way that Sawyer has me completely enraptured in Semper Terra. I can feel the sun shining and hear the waves crashing on the beach. I feel as if I have been whisked away to neverland. Of course the character development in this story is stupendous. I see myself in Charlie. I was always getting into trouble trying to take down the bullies. I had more suspensions then any other honor student in the history of the school. I felt like Sawyer did and excellent job with Charlie in showing how much she truly cared for others. Caiden took my breath away. He is such a gentleman and a perfect hero to Charlies heroine.  Forever Young is passionate love story about first loves. I truly enjoyed this read and I hope to see Charlie and Caiden's relationship grow even stronger in book two.If you are a fan of paranormal romance, and want to start a sweet new series, you should pick up Forever Young.
