SPOTLIGHT ON:
The Complete Angel Island Series
by Marie Landry
I am so incredibly excited to be sharing with you a spotlight on a series that I've absolutely fallen head over toes in love with. The Angel Island companion series, is one of the most amazingly written, swoon-worthy, and gorgeous coming-of-age series that I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Marie Landry is all kinds of ridiculously talented and she has managed to write such a gorgeously compelling New Adult diverse series. Throughout the development of this series I have been lucky enough to have the chance to beta read each of these three companion books and share my thoughts with her, as well as review them.
Marie, herself, is a wonderfully sweet, genuinely talented, and amazing person and someone that I'm lucky enough to call my friend. If you are looking for a New Adult series that will leave give you ALL THE FEELS, then The Angel Island companion series is one that I would definitely recommend. It has everything that you could possibly want or need in a New Adult contemporary series full of romance, hopes and dreams, diversity, and learning to let go and give in enough to embrace your inner happy.
Marie Landry has combined all three books in her Angel Island companion series - Waiting for the Storm, After the Storm, and Take Them by Storm - into a box set. For this week only, you can get the set for just $2.99, which is all three books for the price of one. The box set also includes an exclusive sneak peek at a chapter of Marie's upcoming New Adult novel, Something in the Air.
Three girls exploring sisterhood and friendship, finding love, and discovering their place in the world.
WAITING FOR THE STORM (Angel Island #1)
After the death of her mother, the last thing seventeen-year-old Charlotte O'Dell wants to do is spend the summer on Angel Island with her family. Her younger sister hates her, and her dad is in his own little world. It's a recipe for a isastrous summer on the island, until Ezra Rhodes walks into her life.
The boy next door makes Charlotte forget her almost paralyzing fear of really living her life. Stunted from taking care of her mother in her last months, Charlotte is drowning. With Ezra, she feels something again, and as he repairs her family's summer home, she dares to think he might actually be fixing her, too. Ezra challenges Charlotte to leave her comfort zone, and as their friendship slowly blossoms into more, Charlotte begins to come alive again.
But Ezra has secrets...secrets he isn't sharing with Charlotte. Despite her new-found happiness in Ezra's arms, Charlotte can't help but feel there's a storm on the horizon. And she isn't sure if she and Ezra can weather it unscathed.AFTER THE STORM (Angel Island #2)
For most people, starting senior year at a new high school would be a nightmare, but for Ella O’Dell it’s the new beginning she desperately needs. Two months after her mother’s death, she’s ready to leave behind the rebellious, unhappy person she became when she found out her mom was dying.
When Ella meets River Maracle and Sadie Fitzgerald, she begins to learn it’s okay to be herself, even if that means being different. River and Sadie aren’t ashamed of their misfit status—River grew up on a reserve, and his mother is the school counselor; Sadie stands out with her funky homemade clothes, and is a master at ignoring the whispered rumors that have plagued her since the beginning of highschool.Ella finds a kindred spirit in Sadie, and something more in River. After almost a year of pretending to be someone she’s not, she finally embraces life and allows herself to have fun without constant guilt. But despite her budding happiness, something is off with her new life. She doesn’t want to dwell on the past, but Angel Island is a small place, and she soon realizes her demons are harder to outrun than she thought…
TAKE THEM BY STORM (Angel Island #3)
Sadie Fitzgerald has always been different, and not just because she makes her own clothes and would rather stay home watching Doctor Who than party with kids her age. When it’s time to leave Angel Island for college, Sadie is eager to put her old life behind her. Small-minded people and rumors have plagued her for years, but with the love of her adoptive family, the O’Dells, Sadie has learned to embrace who she is. Now she’s not afraid to admit the rumors about her are true: she’s gay.For the first time in her life, Sadie feels free to be herself. She dives into college life and begins volunteering at the local LGBT center, where she discovers her small-town upbringing left holes in her education about life outside Angel Island.The world is a bigger and more accepting place than Sadie ever imagined. She’s finally found where she belongs, but with the reappearance of someone from her past, an unexpected new friendship, and a chance at love, Sadie soon realizes she still has a lot to learn about life, friendship, and love.
