My YA Obsession discussion

Hey everyone.

I love reading rebel type YA novels. One of my favorite being The Outsiders. I love the way the author mixes violence, with friendship and even though the Greasers are bad boys, you still grow to love and care for them.

In Times of Violence was my first of five books published and it remains the most loved.

A sheltered teenager becomes a member of a biker's gang called The Tyrants. While in London, she experiences a totally different life, one where she's happy and feels she has a family. For the first time in her life, she receives respect and love. Only after a disturbing awakening, she is forced to defend herself, her name, and her title.

In Times of Violence was released today on Kindle.

If you're after a gripping, fast, emotional read, then you will love In Times of Violence. Here are just some of the reviews it's received.


This was a great read with an unexpected softer side. A true edgy love story that settled your heart in the end with a London flair. It made gang violence an act of love for family and cheating so innocent. I loved it! This book speaks on the heart in real, raw emotions that can’t be ignored. Kudos to Karina! Job well done! - Art Nouveau Magazine

the book of In times of violence is one of the best books I have read this year. It is a story of a young woman who escapes from her dull village life to pastures new. Looking or happiness and adventure she moves to a big city in the hope she finds what was missing from her old life this she does after a short time and instantly falls in love with a gang member who is liked and loved by all. when she gets her man love is not as easy as she first thought as she realises not only has she got to fight to keep her man but also fight to prove herself to other gang members, and that is only the begining of what she has to go through. this book keeps you reading it from start to finish there are many twists and turns which make you wonder how this book is going to end. all I can say is buy this book you wont be disappointed by it its an excellent book one worthy to win a book award. - Anon B&N
