The Emerald Talisman, book 1 in the Talisman SeriesYou can run from your destiny, but you can't hide.If for no other reason than to help endure the hormonal rush of high school, sixteen-year-old Julia Parker would trade her ability to feel her fellow students' emotions in a heartbeat, especially half the boys in class. When the beguiling Nicholas uses his superhuman strength to rescue Julia from the edge of a cliff before she's devoured by a bloodthirsty stalker, Julia is suddenly thrust into an underground world where people and animals are often one and the same. Fellow high school students disappear and only Julia and Nicholas know the truth. While Nicholas, a vampire hunter, is out stopping the ever-growing coven, an old friend entices Julia to join him on the dark side and a psychic tells Julia she alone is the key to stopping the madness, problem is it'll require Nicholas' life. THE EMERALD TALISMAN is a page turning rollercoaster that will appeal to young adult women interested in a different take on the traditional teenage vampire love story. Instead, the readers are given a warm blooded, green-eyed, hot, day-walking hero who is there when you need him, but disappears when you want him. ** Stalk me by joining my email list to find out about new releases, contests, and much more at brendapandos.com or email me at brendapandos@gmail.com **More books by Brenda:The Sapphire Talisman, book 2 - Talisman Series (available now)The Onyx Talisman, book 3 - Talisman Series (available now)Everblue, book 1 - Mer Tales (available now)Evergreen, book 2 - Mer Tales (coming July 1st 2012)
