Praise
-
I think this book will appeal greatly to fans of the Selection. - the
dressmaker D'fwan reminded me of America's maids … The whole TV
reality show aspect also reminded me of Hunger Game as well as The
Selection.
- I Really Loved The Book
I am so looking forward to book two. I love the world you’ve created and I want to explore it more. I thoroughly enjoyed Friday and her story.
- I Really, Really Enjoyed This Book!
The way that Ashley and Friday’s relationship progressed was amazing. Too often, in books the two main love interests relationships progress way too quickly and it was refreshing to see Ashley and Friday’s relationship develop gradually instead of it being super rushed.
- I Would Give This Book a Full 5/5 Stars!
Like there was just so much to this book and none of the characters are like what you originally predicted. Every chapter keeps adding to the story and making it more and more complex, and it leaves you on the edge of your seat in suspense.

Excerpt
I
ran as fast as I could until I heard the little girl cry. “Mrs
Mine!”
I
froze, and looked back. “Who’s
Mrs Mine,” I
asked.
“My
bunny,” the little girl
replied. As a small child I had a stuffed bear and stupid as it was,
I knew how she felt. That bunny was a member of the family. I dropped
the little girl and pushed her forward.
“Run!”
I yelled. “I’ll get your
bunny.”
Lisa
scooped up the girl and reached out to drag me back but she was too
slow.
“Fitz!”
Lisa screamed as I ran back
towards the car, blocking out every sound, not letting myself think.
I dropped to the floor and grabbed the toy like it was a baton in a
relay race with no seconds to spare. I could hear each drop of fuel
hit the road like the pounding of my pulse. Something blurry in the
sky was speeding towards us and Lisa made a run for me again. Just as
my fingers whispered across hers a voice boomed from above.
“Get
down!” A
man in a super skeleton suit flew down from the sky and wrapped
himself round the two of us, deploying a shield from his back. It
wasn’t
a moment too soon. The car erupted in an awesome display of fire and
the crowd oohed and awed at the spectacle as though they were
watching New Year’s
fireworks. I opened my eyes to the masked, super-suited figure above
me.
“Partner
Kisaragi, it’s good to
finally meet you.” Lisa
turned away from his face, only inches from hers, and mumbled
something under her breath that might have been “show
off”.
About
the Author
Hi!
I’m Mina Chara, I’m a student, an artist, a daughter, sister and
companion to my two furry friends, Gimli and Gwynne. This blog is
here because I’ve just written a book called Hero
High: Figure In The Flames.
This
is My Story:
Being
dyslexic isn’t so much of a problem, the hard part is not letting
it dictate what I like, and what I can do. For years I was scared of
reading, but then I discovered YA fiction, real books with main
characters I could relate to because most of them were girls.
When
someone criticizes my writing, I feel like crying, because I feel
like that I’m back in English class getting yelled at again, just
wanting to go home, but I’m not a kid anymore, I’m an adult, and
as an adult, I wrote a book, and you can too.
