Would you be willing to make a deal with the devil to have your hopes and dreams come true?

Witnessing a lightning bolt on a sunny day, author Alexa Wainwright doesn't realize she's been transported to an alternate universe. Here, she meets media mogul and publisher King Blakemore who offers her a lucrative book contract that will guarantee her comeback.

This publisher seems odd. This book deal is too good. Suddenly, the contract's been signed. Now what can she do?

Desperate to get her life back, Alexa devises schemes to untether herself from this hellish existence but to no avail. Can Alexa find her way out of this nightmare?

I received this book from ebook discovery to give an honest review.

This book at first had promise but I found myself losing interest, picking up, then falling back down. It was hard for me to actually pinpoint what it was exactly that kept me closing the book and setting it down. Maybe because there was just not enough wow factor. I really loved the idea that the main character was an author! We follow Alexa as she deals with writing and what comes along with writing a good book or series of books. When she finds herself signing a contract with a publisher that sounds shady and things start to go weird. At first, she doesn't realize that evil is afoot until a bit later when she slowly starts putting two and two together and yet, it is hard to make the right choice. She wrestles with herself on what is real and what is not. Overall it wasn't a bad story it lacked full excitement and you could guess pretty much early on what was going to fully happen. I also liked how her characters came to life and had their own personalities but I didn't agree with how Alexa slept with her character even while he was with someone else. Like you crossed that line sugar? The main character wasn't likable or likable she was just plain if that makes sense. Even though this book was not really for me I would say give it a read you may find it more enjoyable than I did.

Karen S. Bell continues to be in awe of the magical and wondrous phenomenon called life. As an observer and obvious participant in feminine values and approach to our human challenges, she brings this perspective to her work. Fascinated by the mysteries of the unseen forces that perhaps play a role in guiding our choices, she continues to search for answers in the mundane as well as in the cosmic forces that surround us. She is working on her third novel and lives in Ponte Vedra, Fl. with her husband and their two furry kids.
