Synopsis

She’s a loner, she likes to fight and, oh yeah…she has the ability to see the demons that lay beneath the faces of ordinary humans. It’s a gift Charlie Wright inherited the night her parents were brutally murdered when she was fourteen years old.

Now in her last year of high school, Charlie just can’t seem to keep herself out of trouble.  Rather than taking a one-way trip to juvenile detention, Charlie chooses to join a mysterious group called The ForeverLand Alliance.

And then her life really gets weird.

Charlie finds herself magically transported to an alternate universe. In Semper Terra, no one ages, people fly, and one stunningly gorgeous, immortal man manages to capture Charlie’s heart and awaken the adult woman she is becoming.

But it’s not all fun and games. For Charlie is training to become an Annihilator, a select group of Semper Terrans who protect mankind from all of those things that go “bump in the night”.

It’s only when Charlie finds herself stuck in the middle of a prophecy that could bring about the end of the world that she truly begins to understand the deep sacrifices she will have to make.

My Review

 

What would you do if you were given the chance to start over? Would you take it?

Charlie is on her own because both of her parents tragically taken from her when she was only 13 years old. 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. Semper Terra is the most beautiful place that Charlie has ever seen, and when Caiden walks in, her heart flutters, and she is captivated by is gorgeous good looks. But looks can be deceiving…

Caiden is a mentor and is smitten with Charlie from the moment he sees her. He does his best to keep his distance and remain professional as he trains with Charlie. He does not understand the pull Charlie has on him.  He has dated many beautiful women but something is different about Charlie.  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.
