Book Description: Who is Faustine? When Faustine Spencer was five years old, she discovered a secret that changed her life forever. At twelve, her parents sent her to Bonfire Academy in Switzerland to ensure that she received the training needed to control her increasing powers. Three years later, Faustine returns to Manhattan. All she wants is to be a typical teenager, at least, one that’s part of the in-crowd at her Upper East Side High School. When drop-dead gorgeous Ryker, her long-time crush from the Academy, finally notices her, she couldn’t be happier. However, her desire for a normal life is shattered when her father, a prominent sovereign, disappears after naming her as his successor. Her siblings begin to disappear, and Faustine finds herself in the midst of a power struggle. With her life in danger, Faustine must learn to follow one of Bonfire Academy’s most important rules: Trust no one. My Description: Faustine is back home in New York after three years at Bonfire Academy. She just wants to return to a normal life and go to school with her friends. The same day she returns, she learns that her father is missing and that she must take his place as the Sovereign Demon of London. Not only her father is missing but then somebody got killed and left a message for her. Then one of her siblings disappears and the same message again. Faustine will have to learn quickly the protocole and everything she has to know to be a good sovereign. Fortunately for her, she will be able to count on the gorgeous Ryker, her crush from Bonfire Academy which now seems to notice her finally and to her longtime friend Neave. Faustine, with the help of her friends, her mother and others, she will have to prove to the other sovereigns that her father chooses the right person to replace her. Who is behind all these disappearances? Make sure you read Faustine, you don't want to miss that. My opinion: Wow there is a lot of surprises and suspense in that book. There is always something happening. You can never predict what will happen. I really enjoy that book. That book was the first one of the series that Imogen Rose wrote which probably explains why we don't hear at all about Cordelia and Jagger. I found it a little weird at first (and I really liked these two characters in the Initiation and Integration) but knowing that it's the first book she wrote I understood. Indeed, it's the first book she recommends to read in the serie and now I understand why. Will be out in French by the beginning of next year. The Characters: Faustine: She is now 15 years old and she is back to Manhattan after three years at Bonfire Academy. She learned how to control her demon side but will now have bigger challenges. Neave: Faustine's longtime best friend. Tessa, Neave's mom was Faustine nanny and they grew up together. Ryker: Ryker was at Bonfire Academy at the same time as Faustine. He is a wanderer and Faustine had a crush on her when she was at the Academy but they barely talk there. Now he is in Manhattan as well and finally hook up with Faustine. Dorian: He works for Faustine's father. He will replace Faustine in London the time she study in New York. Luke: Dorian's son, he help protect Faustine in New York and help her to learn about her new situation. There are lots of other very good and important characters in the book. I am sure that you will love them as much as I did. The author: Imogen Rose is the author of the bestselling series, the Portal Chronicles, which has attained cult status within indie literature and become a favorite among teens and adults alike. An immunologist by profession, Dr. Rose published her first work of fiction in 2010. She now writes full time and is currently working on her second teen series, the Bonfire Chronicles. Imogen was born in Sweden and has lived in several places, counting London among her favorites. She moved to New Jersey in 2001. A self-confessed Hermès addict, Imogen freely admits to being obsessed with Kurt Cobain. She enjoys shopping, traveling, watching movies, and hanging out with her family, friends, and Chihuahua. | Author: Imogen Rose Edition : Indie Number of pages : ebook My Note: |
