Follow on Google News | Author Makes Stunning Launch into the YA Literary World with Debut High Fantasy NovelRecent release "These Lies That Live Between Us," by Kai Raine is the first novel in her fantasy series for young adults, inspiring readers to look at things from new perspectives.
By: Kai Raine Influenced by her own teen-aged years, Raine notes, "I write young adult books because changing perceptions and questioning my basic assumptions are things I was forced to live often as a teen—and it's just a part of growing up, in a lot of ways. Writing YA is just the most natural way that I can express the characters and stories that I want to write." While compelling and entertaining, "These Lies That Live Between Us," also encourages readers to take their imaginations to a higher level by introducing them to new worlds and possibilities. Raine adds, "To me, fantasy and science fiction are the most powerful genres, because they can make us see things about our own world by showing us a world we don't know, where we know our assumptions might not necessarily hold." Early reviews praise Raine's storytelling abilities. Arianna Violante, a reviewer with Reader Views says, "The author hooked me right from the beginning with the captivating characters of the sisters, and I wanted to get to know them better immediately. A dramatic twist occurs right before the end of the very first chapter and sets the pace for unpredictable action, and high level adventure and excitement! Throughout the story you really get the sense of a chaotic time – at court and over the lands, with assassination attempts, cover ups, threats, and manipulations, and I really enjoyed the author's storytelling talent."
