My review:
I won a paperback copy of Portal back in 2010 on Goodreads. I was really happy and I didn't know what to expect as it was the first book I read from Imogen Rose and what a good surprise!!

The story is so original.  She got me right at the beginning of the book. You know how it works, most of the time, we can tell if we will like a book around page 100 but not with her books.  You immediately fall in love with the characters.
 
Arizona Stevens lives alone with her father. She doesn't have any boyfriend and don't think about that at all. Her passion is playing Hockey and not in a girls' team, with the boys' team!! She hates her mother and she thinks her little sister is annoying. She have a dog that she loves, Gertrude. Arizona Stevens is not girly at all, she is not into pink and fashion.

One day, she is Arizona Stevens and the next day, she wakes up as Arizona Darley. Gertrude is still with her but for the rest, everything is upside down. She doesn't know what is happening to her. Nobody seems to know her father and she now have a new father which she has never seen before. Her sister seems to know him very well and to love him very much. She found out that she is not a hockey player at all but a cheerleader!! Her closet is filled with top fashion clothes and the most chocking, she has a brother.

She will have to learn to leave in that new life and try to understand and discover what happened to her. More time passes and more she is determined to return to her previous life until she discover love. Will she be able to return to her real life as Arizona Stevens?

Here, we are discovering something new, Wanderers!! People that can travel through time, dimensions and
for some of the geographically. You want to know more? You have to read this wonderful book which is the first book of my favorite series from Imogen Rose, Portal Chronicles. You won't regret it I promise

Release Date: Fall 2013
Add it to your to read list.Goodreads  

Synopsis:
Book three in the Whisper Cape Series.

Gerry, Addie and Cael almost captured Careen’s murderer but lost Cael in the battle. Is he alive? If so, will he return? And the bigger question, thanks to Gerry's handiwork, will Cael remember Addie? Is their love lost with him?

Addie’s family and friends think she should keep her relationship with Cael a secret from him so he isn't forced into feelings he can't remember. Just what she needs, more secrets and on top of everything else, someone stole the crystal. How is she supposed to get over the loss of her lover, a lover she'd barely had for only a few short months and deal with the secret of the lost crystal at the same time?

Aiden wants nothing more than to help Addie overcome her grief and get over Cael. Or is that all he wants? What happens when too many people know the secret and someone slips up? 

An unedited Excerpt from A Secret Fate
 For the umpteenth time, over the past two weeks, Addie recited the words over and over again in her head, begging, pleading, Cael, please remember me. Please remember you love me.
Dragging her useless, helpless, and now rail-thin of a frame from the bed—their bed, his bed—she stumbled into the bathroom, hardly recognizing the person in the mirror. The sunken, dark eyes, her indented cheekbones, only made her brown eyes look larger and more recessed, giving her face a hollow look. Well, that was fine, now her face matched her hollow and empty soul.
She couldn’t work, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat. Gerry threatened to give her job to Darcy permanently if she didn’t snap out of it and get her rear end into the bar soon. She didn’t care. Why should she? Let Darcy have the damn job. She didn’t need it. She had her trust fund, didn’t she? She couldn’t face going in there, seeing all those people, everyone asking how she was getting along … without Cael—the unspoken part of the sentence. Well, how the hell did they think she was? She just lost the man she loved. Lost her dad the year before. Who would be next? Who would she lose next? Maia? The Twins who weren’t even born yet? Unthinkable. But, as the old saying went, bad things happened in threes. Maybe if she stayed home, away from other people, nobody else would die or disappear. Her family, friends, they’d all taken turns checking in on her, Darcy one day, Maia another. Gerry, Cael’s uncle Bart even stopped by. Someone, once a day would come knocking on her door, trying to coax her out of the house. “Not ready,” she’d say. “I need time.” How much time would it take? How much time does a person normally require before they learn to cope with the loss of a loved one? Learn to cope? She didn’t want to learn to cope. Addie hadn’t had much time with Cael to begin with. She felt cheated. Resentful and cheated that she didn’t get to love and enjoy her soul mate for any longer than only a few short months. According to Maia, Cael and Addie were fated. She and Cael had joked, laughing about it being a secret fate because of Addie’s secluded and sheltered childhood. Well, fate was cruel, wasn’t it?

About Susan
Susan Griscom daydreams often. And sometimes her daydreams interfere with her daydreams not to mention real life. Because, let’s face it, her character’s lives are so much more exciting. Sometimes it’s young adult or new adult or just plain old mainstream fiction and sometimes it’s paranormal romance, where her playing field delves into a different milieu than the usual vampires and werewolves. Some day she might write about fangs and fur, but for now she prefers sticking to strong heroes and heroines confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and abilities beyond the norm, mixed with a little romance to get the blood boiling.
Susan lives in the Sierra Foothills in Northern California with her very romantic husband, her small yippy dog, Riley, and her humongous black cat, Saké. Her family consists of his and hers; four wonderful sons and one beautiful daughter, and seven grand angels.
Susan loves when a story takes hold and pulls her into the fantasy, that's magic.
