Ariel Rising: Love is their greatest weapon. Will it be enough?

Ariel Rising...

My dreams were simple. College, a career, and let's see what happens from there. But things don't always go according to plan.

My name is Ari Worthington and I've had a very eventful week. A life-changing week. The kind of week that would make the average person whimper. It started when my ex-boyfriend Luke accosted me in the woods.

How badly was I injured? Not a scratch. And Luke? Not so lucky. Nope, I whupped him good. It surprised the heck out of me. And it probably surprised him, too... once he woke up.

And then I met Davin. Handsome, witty, amazing Davin. Perfect in every way, unless you think being an alien, from a planet called Olympus, might be a liability.

"Seriously? Your planet is named after a Greek mountain?" I ask him.

"Actually, it's the other way around," he tells me. "The mountain was named after us. We've been visiting Earth for a very, very long time. As a matter of fact, we are responsible for human evolution."

So, ancient aliens are real? Yeah. But there's more. Davin is an angel, which I could have handled, would have handled, if only he hadn't told me I was one, too.

"But we don't have wings," I say.

"Real angels don't need wings," he counters.

"Ah, that explains everything," I reply.

So, you think this is just another angel story? Well, it's not. It's got humor, romance, adventure, science, tragedy, and...did I say romance? It'll make you think, and laugh, and cry. Davin and I, you see, are part of a larger plan. A noble plan. A plan to save the sons and daughters of man, or what's left of them, after the war. A big war.

Okay, enough of my rambling. Davin and I need to get back to training. And you've got some reading to do, yeah?

Editorial Review

What struck me first about Ariel Rising, was the level to which it is polished, in a literary sense. This was so surprising for a debut novel, but considering the husband and wife author team consists of a doctor of gifted education and a software engineer, well...it's really not surprising. The Sparbers' command of language, vivid imaginations, and fascinating plot twists, left me wanting more. Much more. This is the beginning of an amazing series, and one that should not be missed.
