I have seen many people complain about self published authors and how sceptical some are to read them so they often avoid them, I however have never had that problem but if you have these issues then DO NOT FEAR M.J. Stevens has written a fantastic debut novel that will have you hooked. It has all the goodies one could want in a book. Action, some romance (me being a big lover of romance would have liked a little more romance develop between Mellea and successor Leo, but I understand why there wasn't more as the actions he took to have her were extreme and would cause any normal person to hate their "captor")Mellea's entire life her father has hated the Guardians without so much as a word to say why. All she knows about the people who rule over them is what her father has told her which is all bad things and his repeated warning of no good deed goes unpunished. So when she is on her way home from work and comes across a boy who is shot she try's to help him even after it is revealed he is a guardian successor whom are the children of the guardians. Lets just says things don't end well and this one act of kindness changes Mellea's life forever and not necessarily in a good way. But in saying that if you want to know the things of which she must endure, betrayals of which Mellea never would have thought possible and enemies they must face - go buy the book! and for a limited time only on smashwords and amazon it's FREE!!!!It truly was a great read and can't wait for book 2 :D
