I was exposed to Heather's writing with her short Story in Winter Wonders Anthology, so I went looking for her other books, and lo and behold, Born Of Fire which is the prequel to her Channeler series was free on Amazon! I snatched it up and read it in one sitting.Amazons blurb about the book:The story of the night Aiden was born has never been told, until now. Fleeing the Hunter's, Kevan and Shannon O'Reilly find their way to Spruce Knoll Colorado, assuming they'll be safe in America. Their unborn son is special, even for a druid, or channeler as the American's like to call their kind. But why the Hunter's, people who are sworn to keep their kind safe, are after them is a mystery. All they know is that if they don't outrun them they'll be killed.Trouble has followed them to Spruce Knoll and just when it seems it may be too late, they discover why.My thoughts:I must say I have rarely read prequels before the actual story as usually there is a lot of history with the characters. However, this short was easy to get into and understand and I was hooked from the beginning because practically the whole novella was action packed! Seeing the warrior druids (Channelers) in action and some of their powers displayed really piqued my curiosity-it made me want to know more about how the Channelers came to be and exactly what they do. Kevan and Shannon were certainly powerful, but Aiden seems like he is really something special! The Hunters seem powerful in their way too and I'd like to know just why they track down the Channelers and destroy them-especially with such a prophecy as is mentioned about Aiden?So many questions!!I can't wait to dive into the first novel of the series and find out what happens!!Please see this and other book reviews at: [...]
