Title- Gemini of Emreiana
Gemini Series Book #1
By Kristen DaRay
Genre: YA Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Blurb-
My entire life has been a lie: My parents didn't die in a
car accident. They're not even dead. I'm not American. I'm not even human. I
have strange powers, and I'm the heir to the throne of the planet Emreiana.
If I take the crown, I have to leave behind everything I
have known here on Earth. I would have to say goodbye to my friends and leave
behind Kyle, the boy I've loved since I was five. If I don't, then I risk the
Bremoir finding me here on Earth and destroying everything I love.
A large rock soared through the
sky. Around it was an aurora of white and purple. I held my breath and admired
its beauty as it slowly passed the window.
“It’s Emréiana’s comet,” Aaronmon told
me. “It only passes by once every nineteen years. The last time someone truly
magnificent was born.”
I cocked my head, confused. I soon
realized his meaning. “Me,” I whispered under my breath. With everything that
had been going on I had completely forgotten that I even had a birthday. Of
course the Emréian calender was different from Earth’s. I didn’t even realize
it was already August there.
“As you know, we don’t celebrate
birthdays the same way here. So it wasn’t hard to sneak it past you.” Aaronmon
smiled. In Emréiana they didn’t celebrate annual birthdays. New Year was when
people actually counted their new age. The only birthday type of celebration
was during the third Hurmon moon when they had the nilva festivities. That was
when those who had grown into their abilities received their tattoos. Mine was
celebrated on Earth before I came to Emréiana, but the community of Inae gave
me another shortly after my arrival. Since I already had a tattoo, I had just
participated in everything else, which had been awkward since I spoke very
little Emréian at the time. Thinking back on all of that, I still couldn’t
believe that I had forgotten my birthday.
Embarrassment radiated from me, and
I tried to hold it back so that I wouldn’t send the waves to Aaronmon. I guess
it didn’t matter because I could tell by the grin on his face that he knew. My
reddened cheeks probably gave me away.
“I know back on Earth individual
birthdays were the norm, and I thought that this could be something special
between you and me,” he offered.
I smiled at his thoughtfulness and
leaned into his chest. “Every year?” I asked.
“Well, the comet only comes every
nineteen, so we will have to figure something else out.”
“Deal,” I said.

I like the writing style of this author. She kept my attention in a genre of book that I typically do not read as other planets give me the creeps. Carson finds out that that she is a princess from another planet and she has to give up Kyle in order to protect him. Kyle has been her best friend from kindergarten and turned into romance as they got older.She knows things are really going down hill because she has to lie to him about what is going on. Aaronson is her bodyguard who is starting to get under her skin . She left a heck of a cliffhanger so I am going to love seeing what happens.

Blurb-
Just a year ago, I thought I was an ordinary human, and I
gave up everything on Earth to save the people I loved. I have become the Lenai
of Emréiana, making me the heir to the Emréian throne. It also makes me in
charge of defeating the Bremoir, a race that has been consuming other worlds.
If I can’t stop them, the universe is doomed.
Then there is Aaronmon, my betrothed. We have only known
each other for a year, but our bond is strong. It’s that bond that makes it
hard to know my true feelings. While I think I am ready for the ceremony, I
wonder if I really love him like I loved Kyle, my ex- boyfriend who was
murdered.
But none of my feelings matter. In order to rule Emréiana, I
must go through with the bonding ceremony. If I don’t, then I risk losing the
right as heir and I’ll have no power in the war against the Bremoir. Nobody
wants them defeated more than me.

This is the second book in the Gemini series and each book is better than the last.
I absolutely am going searching for more by this author as her style is great . She keeps me interested and with all that goes on and is different on other planets she doesn't confuse me by bouncing all over.
I can't give away spoilers so I will not say anything about the characters except they are all awesome and I hope have ends up with a certain ex :)
There is a heck of a cliffhanger once again so I guess I will be impatiently waiting !

today. She has been writing since the 6th grade. However, she did not begin to
write fiction until she was 15. In 2009, Kristen had an idea that would spark
the concept for Gemini of Emréiana that she would later write in 2011. During
that time, she met her husband. They married in August of 2012. When Kristen is
not writing, she spends time watching Korean Drama's or creating SIM's 3
stories. Kristen continues to write the next novels to the Gemini Trilogy. She
also plans to release a new series later on in the year.
