Life Defined: November 2012

Greetings on this pleasant November morning!

It's been awhile since I last updated my blog, as classes have been taking up quite a bit of my time, (remind me to write a post about my Anatomy class at some point – particularly regarding Anatomy Cadaver Lab) but what better way to begin blogging again than to introduce a lovely author’s work via a Blog Tour and Giveaway? Yep. Today I’ve the pleasure of hosting Ms. Bella Harte, author of The Seraphoenix Saga. She is not only here to introduce her writing for her Scarlett Phoenix Blog Tour, but she is also giving away some beautiful bracelets in the mix:

Book Blurb:

"She is the only one of her kind, he is her last hope."

Scarlett Paige is just a regular teenager until her parents suddenly decide move to back to America after living in England for the past 17 ½ years. Thrust into a new school, a new town and a whole new way of life, things can't seem to get any worse until her 18^th birthday arrives.

Her world as she knows it is irrevocably changed by a set of life threatening complications when she discovers her true identity. That she is The Phoenix the only one of her kind, a hybrid human being with supernatural powers beyond mortal imagination. But she is untrained, and unable to use her mystical powers without guidance and training from The Seraphoenix Angels.

Worse still, two mysterious and powerful Angel brothers are looking for her. One to save her and one to kill her, who will win?

Scarlett finds herself amidst a battle that’s been waged since the beginning of time, as she discovers the disturbing truth that Angels aren't always good! One brother has a terrible plan to rid the world of humanity, while the other strives to save it and Scarlett is caught smack in the middle as both the Angels need her Phoenix powers to accomplish their goals.

Will she become a pawn in their schemes, as she is thrown into total chaos and plunged into an entirely different future and one that is utterly unexpected?

There are fatal consequences she never saw coming. Beings she never knew existed, and homicidal demon creatures that she wished never existed at all, are conspiring to change her life forever!
