Raised amid an ancient group of beings with supernatural powers, Addison Sanders never wanted for anything, living the life of a fairytale princess to those on the outside. Within the walls of her home, she knew secrets that the world would never believe, knew of beings capable of magnificent deeds, but always, they were her family. When the day came that most of what she thought she knew proved to be either misguided lies to shield her or lies of omission to protect the ancient beings she lived with, Addison finds herself finally having to grow up and take the world upon her shoulders to protect the ones she loves. Having just lost two of the most important people in her life, Addison wants nothing more than to find answers that are denied her. Who can she trust? Has she been betrayed by her best friend? Where does a handsome rock star fit in? Who is she destined to be?Dissever by Colee Firman comes out of the gate fast and keeps up the pace throughout each twist, each turn and into the home stretch when lives are on the line and only a leap of faith can save them. Ms. Firman deftly blends this fantasy novel with a touch of the over-the-top excess of the wealthy, while shrouding their true nature to the eyes of the world, kind of like hiding in plain sight. The emotional friction runs high as pain, loss and anger plays across her words. Many characters are not who they seem, some are so much more, some have their own agendas, but never is the outcome easy to discern.I was hooked from the beginning of this detailed and intense plot and was not cut loose until the end! I enjoy a book that can surprise me and give me a chance to agree or disagree with the characters and their actions, and this fresh look at the paranormal did just that.
