The White Aura (White Aura, #1) in Dauntless Indies Read and Review Squad

Dec 08, 2013 Brandy Rivers rated it it was amazing · review of another edition

I'm not the biggest YA fan most of the time, but I really did enjoy Livvie and Scott's story. I can't wait to read the next one.

Scott is a sorcerer who has found his heartmate. He is a sexy sweetheart. His family is great too, well maybe except for his one brother who seems to be a terror.

Livvie is a teenager trying to figure out all these changes, and some of them are not what they seem. I love her though. She feels real. Her parents aren't the most helpful, but I love her best friend.

Olivia Whitehead is a 17-year-old high school student who has dreamed about the same guy (Mr Sexy) for the last year and one month, since her sixteenth birthday.

Scott Tabor is a fifth-generation sorcerer with many powers, including the powers to heal, to dream walk, and to eavesdrop from a great distance. Olivia is his heart mate, the person he's supposed to spend the rest of his life with. Once he meets his heart mate, it becomes physically painful for him to be apart from her. However, because ...more

I recently won a contest that enabled me to receive all of the White Aura Series as a gift. At first I was a little unsure if this would be something I would read or not, but half way through the first book and I was completely hooked! I found myself reading through the night, just so I can see what happened in the next book! Can't wait to keep reading!

The cover initially drew me into this book! As soon as the author asked if I would review it for her I fell in love with the cover! The plot of this book was different! It was about sorcerers which I found interesting! The plot was fast paced and it helped my attention the whole way through! The characters were great as well! Olivia "Livvie" Whitehead and Scott Tabors were the main characters and I liked them both but I personally thought that Livvie took the information that Scott was a sorcere ...more

First off i would like to Thank Felicia Tatum for giving me the opportunity to review this book for her!!!

I am by far one of the most diversified readers i know. I have certain aspects of a book that have to hit for me to like a book. This book, where its written in the POV of the characters is great. This style of writing reminds me of another author (Maggie Stiefvater), whom in my opinion is a great.

Onto the review part of this:
The book took off and captured me within the first few pages a ...more

This was a really fun story. Olivia is 17, and has been having dreams of the mysterious "Mr. Sexy" for a long time, and she isn't sure whether to believe he is real or a figment of her imagination. Scott (aka Mr. Sexy) is actually a sorcerer with a number of pretty neat powers, one of which is the ability to visit Olivia (whom he believes is his heart mate) at night. Meanwhile, one of Olivia's classmates, Aiden, is taking an extra special interest in her that she isn't sure how she feels about a ...more

First of all, I love books that go back and forth between two POV's. Each chapter went from Olivia/Livvie's POV to Scott/Mr.Sexy's POV,this gives you more insight into the characters and their feelings. The curse on Scott's family keeps him from his heart mate. The fact that he can visit her in her dreams, a loophole to the curse, is such a romantic notion. Olivia knows that she is dreaming about Mr Sexy, but isn't sure what to think about it. Is she crazy to feel so connected to someone in her ...more

**I was given this book in exchange for an honest review, Lovers of Paranormal.**

I was pleasantly surprised. It was just such a different twist to paranormal, that I found it intriguing throughout.

I'm not going to lie through first few pages, I couldn't imagine how this could go well, it just didn't seem like I could be kept interested throughout an entire book...maybe because of the "instalove" aspect (I love the chase, I can't help it!), but actually this added to the story and ended up workin ...more

When I read what this book was about, I was intrigued. I haven't read a book with this kind of plot before, so I was anxious to read it. I started it and in less than 12 hours finished it! I could not put it down, I even read while I cooked dinner!! I love how Felicia wrote it from two characters perspective, it made me anticipate what was coming up more. I really love the whole story line and how she put it together. It was unique and thrilling. I am usually hooked on a book when the author can ...more

I bought this book back in December of 2012 during my Indie Authors! Sell Me Your Book! party. After reading an excerpt, I was hooked by the story. The White Aura is a fun YA read that will keep you on the edge of your seat; wondering what's going to happen next.

From a reader's perspective:
I fell in love with Olivia and her quirky ways. She snagged me with her humor and her love for her best friend, J.

After reading an excerpt, I was hooked by the story. The White Aura is a fun YA read that will keep you on the edge of your seat; wondering what's going to happen next.

From a reader's perspective:
I fell in love with Olivia and her quirky ways. She snagged me with her humor and her love for her best friend, J. It was believable that Olivia was meeting a strange boy in her dreams and pined after him while awake. I wasn't too keen on her mom and dad never being around. It kinda made me mad that they weren't the loving parents this witty child deserved. Scott, the love interest, was painted as the perfect boyfriend in every way. The story even goes so far as to have him weaken when he isn't around Olivia. I like it when characters have just a few flaws. While Scott is a sorcerer and is bound to Olivia because of a mystical occurrence that only happens to his kind, it still struck me as odd that he never even looked at another girl before he saw Olivia. That being said, the secondary characters were really well done, and I look forward to learning more about them in future installments of the series. The White Aura does a fine job of tying up loose ends for the story being told, but leaves a few things in question that I hope are answered later on.

From an editor's perspective:
This book has so much potential to be a best-selling series; but the lack of editing (by a professional) left me putting it down now and then because I was thrown out of the story. As with many novels, pronouns needed some work. Misspelled words appeared now and then, punctuation could use a tweak or two, and dialogue was stilted. It really just needs a strong polish by a good editor.

My rating:
+1 Star for characters I could really wrap my head around.
+1 Star for giving me an excellent storyline that was paced well.
+1 Star for making me want to read another installment.
-1 Star for perfectionism in a character that was begging for a flaw.
-1 Star for editing errors.

Overall, 3 out of 5 stars. Not too shabby! I recommend this read if you enjoy tales of sorcerers and love. ...more

This book was given to me by the author for a honest review.
I though the story line was wonderful. Being a lover of anything paranormal and romance I devoured this one. The characters were real and believable. And I really enjoyed reading this. I cant wait for the next one!!
