DERIVE (Open Heart Chronicles) Novella by Jamie Magee





Jamie Magee DERIVE
Burb...
Aden, son of Tarek, is a seer—an elite member of The Selected which stands guard before The Fall, the border between light and dark realities. Darkness was foretold at his birth along with the words ‘lavender waters will set you free.’ What Aden assumed to be a mythical prophecy, is eventually manifested in a ravishing beauty with long, lavender hair.
Skylynn had seen their future, the sacrifice and divide set before them. She told him they had three days—three days before they must part to meet in a distant future. Aden dares to challenge the limits set before him by empowering his innocent lover with words and energy as he plots to face the darkness predicted before it claims her—and their rightful future together.
***
Character Interview with Aden:
*What was your first impression of one another?
The world stood still, everything made sense all at once, yet, nothing made sense at the same time. Life changing.
*Most romantic gesture you've done for each other?
Our time was brief, almost fleeting. I did give Skylynn a violin…the power to escape the world for a moment or two as she played…we danced for hours, holding each other for all the world to see.
*Favorite qualities about one another?
Skylynn has a way of making everything seem sensual, the way she sees the world, what she’s prepared to do, is beyond explanation. I’ve never known a woman as strong as her. She has all this strength, but she melts when I hold her, she leans when her path weighs her down, which makes her even stronger.  She’s unexplainable.
*Let's be honest now...most annoying trait about each other?
I’m still looking for that…
*Do you have pet names? If so what are they?
She’s my angel.
*Ideal Valentine's Day date and/or gift?
Ideal date would be to just vanish with her, to find some place that we could hide, hold each other, a day where we would not once glance to the horizon and wonder what tomorrow holds.

Eden’s heart is full and her endless life has never been more happy. That is until Dmitri Terletov returns from the dead and threatens everyone she loves and the Kingdom she worked so hard to build.
This time around, Eden is supposed to be shielded from the conflict. She has her growing babies to protect now and Kiran wants her as far from the battle as possible. Although she’s a little stir-crazy with idle hands, she agrees that keeping away from Terletov and his deadly experiments is definitely the right course of action.
Unfortunately, Terletov doesn’t agree. And when he arrives at the Castle, uninvited and desperate for the Magic Eden once stole from him, she has no choice but to fight once again to save the people she was born to protect.

RELEASE DAY BLAST: Rivulet by Jamie Magee







Unfathomable forces have always contested Genevieve Indiana Falcon, known as Indie. The curse of her cold touch entraps her just as the grief ignited in her past torments her. Yet, her mysterious ability to dream while awake saturates her in the belief that she was not always anguished. There is hope that one day a true peace in her soul can be found. 

Foolishly, Indie assumes she has contained her life in an odd balance, and she cherishes the visions she sees of the enigmatic boy that held her in a lost time, but can never reach. She grieves for a life she fears she'll never possess, and that grief is a weapon she uses against her aunt who stands between her and her inheritance. 

Weeks away from her twenty-first birthday, the date where she would assume control over her family legacy, a night terror robs Indie of the balance she was clinging to. Like the dream she had before she lost her family, it predicts a fatal catastrophe on the horizon. The fight between life and death, good and evil, began the moment her thundering heart awoke her. 

Everything changed after that dream. The one thing that keeps her curse at bay is stolen, and then the enigmatic boy arrives in the flesh. Face to face with her fiery born-again lover Indie realizes that the only way she can prevent the tragedy before her is to surrender everything she was, is, and could be. 

Can she bend the laws of nature and fight the improbability that fire and ice could ever be one? As far as Indie is concerned, there is not a myth, spoken fate, or curse that is stronger than her stubborn desire to have it all ... including him.

Her imagination would take her to places she’d never been, introduce her to people she’s never known. Insight, her debuting novel, is a result of that powerful imagination. Today, she is grateful that not knowing what defined her, led her on a path of discovery that would always be a part of her.

BOOK REVIEW: See (See Series #1) by Jamie Magee

Goodread description: 

Forgetting who you are, your ambitions, your passions is crippling….but remembering – embracing your purpose with a new sense of determination is more than empowering….it's life altering. Charlie Myers is on a life altering path that will cause the dammed to humble in silence.

One night…just a few friends, how could it go so wrong? That was the question seventeen year old Charlie Myers was asking when she found herself in the ER. Outwardly nothing was wrong with Charlie, she was a vision of perfect heath, internally she was battling a raging headache…one the doctor told her she would overcome shortly, but Charlie knew something else was wrong …very wrong.

Part of her had been stolen…she was missing memories. Those memories were sacred. They held the key to her sanity. They told her that the sinister whispers, the shadows that came to life before her were not as ominous as she felt they were. They held the bond with her late father, a famed musician. They caused her to forget the one talent that allowed her to face the darkness that haunted her every waking hour. They also masked a much deeper bond, the face of the one that had stolen her heart, long before the age of seventeen.

Sitting in the ER with her angry mother she couldn’t figure out what she was missing, or even how. Her thoughts told her that she needed to protect Britain, a friend of hers, but that didn’t make any sense – Britain didn’t need to be protected from anyone, he was strong, young, and absurdly wealthy. Charlie also knew that even though her friend Bianca called Charlie her best friend, she didn’t trust her …she was almost sure she despised her, but she couldn’t figure out why, or understand how random thoughts were telling her that she adored both Britain and Bianca – that they were her saviors – that they brought silence to the unstoppable whispers, but the silence scared Charlie. In her mind anyone or anything that could bring silence to something that dark could not be good.

Charlie wanted to stay in NY, figure out what she was missing, why, and who was behind it all, but her mother had other plans. Against her will, Charlie was sent to Salem to live with her sister, within that small town Charlie found her memories and so much more.

Her story begins now.


MARY'S REVIEW:

Wow! Wow! Wow!

This is one of the more unique books I have read in a long time! Jamie Magee hit it out of the park!

The book starts out with Charlie in the hospital and her memory is fuzzy. Parts are missing and see can't figure out what is happening to her. Her mother and sister are very worried for her, so the move her from NY back to her hometown, Salem.

Things just become more strange after that (in a good way)

What I liked: 

I love Charlie!! and LOVE LOVE LOVE Draven!! 

Draven is connected to Charlie, but she just can't remember. She only remember that Britain and Bianca have something to do with her memory lost, but she can't remember. On top of all theses missing pieces she is hearing voices AND music! It's stronger when she moves to Salem and she feels like she is losing her mind.

I love how Jaime Magee took a simple thing, like a song and a guitar, and turned into to one of the amazing stories I've read in a long time. Ghosts, spirits, music, and friends make this book a quick and fabulous read.

What I didn't like: 

Its not that I didn't like it, but sometimes it was a little frustrating...was trying to figure out what was wrong with Charlie and why her memories were gone. Each chapter a small piece of the puzzle would be revealed, but you still couldn't figure it out.

That is WHY Jamie Magee is a great author!!!!
