Giger manages to add a refreshing breeze to fantasy by successfully introducing us to the world of Sirens in our modern age. - A great and innocent but nevertheless thrilling paranormal teen romance. Must read!! (reviewsbyjules) Interview with the author Q: How did you get the ideas for this book? A: I love books like Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games but so far, I've only always concentrated on writing contemporary romances. When I was traveling through South East Asia the weird, twisted roots in the jungle inspired me that there could be a whole different world inside ours and so I tried to add a paranormal element to my romance writing and turn it into an urban fantasy romance. Q: So, are there more books by you, which your readers can enjoy? A: Well, there's the sequel of Heart of Power (Rise of the Siren). Inside "Heart of Power: Awakening of the Siren", you will find a link that will let you download it for free. Plus, I wrote another romance novel. "A sketch of what you mean to me" is a cancer love story and was published in February 2017. Q: You work a full-time job? So, when do you find the time for writing? A: Anytime I can get. On the train, before work, after work, in airports, on a plane. Sometimes I feel a bit anti-social because I much rather would want to be home writing instead of going out on a Friday evening. I have to find a balance but I feel like writing gives me more energy because it's something I really want to do. Q: You mentioned planes and airports. Do you like to travel? A: I love exploring beautiful places and I use every chance I can get to travel. I also try to keep up to date with my travel blog, which you find on my website www.swissmissontour.com Q: Who will like the Heart of Power Series? A: People who enjoy reading an urban fantasy mystery or a paranormal teen romance. However, I wouldn't say it's a young adult novel only. If you like Vampire books, I'd say the chance is big that you also like Siren books. I hope I can give something new to the readers since Siren's aren't yet as explored as vampires. I address topics like having to leave your family and friends and finding your way in a new environment, how while growing up and even as an adult you are faced with choices every day and it's important that you make a decision but that you also accept the consequences and of course, in Heart of Power, you will find the million butterflies, which you feel when you find the right guy for you and the insecurities love brings. Ebook categories: Urban fantasy romance, paranormal teen romance This book is very original and unique, in the sense that offers us a new, fresh, and modern glance at what it would be like for a Siren to exist and try to live among us a normal life. I loved S. L. Giger's take on the matter, how she presented us with the struggle Serena, who was now called Nathalie, as her old self is supposed to be dead, faced in her new life. The writing was easy, fast-paced, and smooth, and I would totally love to get to know more about Nathalie's story! (review by Caterina)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all begins with a choice... S. L. Giger continues the phenomenal story of Nathalie and Alex in the amazing Heart of Power trilogy. Once more your desire for an irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist will be satisfied. What if you find out that everyone you trusted lied to you? Nathalie abandons her Siren family and stands on her own feet, supported by her human boyfriend Alex. Will they be fine on their own? Now that Alex knows about Nathalie's true identity, which broke the biggest law in the magical world.... What consequences will they have to face? On top of that, a mysterious virus drowns the world in chaos, and apparently, Nathalie is the only one who can save them all. Will loyalty and love force her to do unexpected things? Rise of the Siren is a must-read for fans of Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, and The Hunger Games. Interview with the author Q: What are the biggest challenges you faced while continuing this fantasy series? A: To combine my ideas in a way that make sense and at the same time making it an emotional story with compelling characters. I wrote the first draft within one and a half months, much faster than the first part of the series. Afterward, it was sometimes tough not to lose motivation during the rewriting phase, which took the rest of the year. Q: What kept you going? A: I said that I would publish HOP2 one year after HOP1 and wanted to keep my word. Plus, I have an amazing launch team with beta readers. It was always fun to try to implement their suggestions and they helped to improve the story a great deal. Q: What can the fans look forward to in Rise of the Siren? A: It's still a paranormal romance novel and so the love between Nathalie and Alex deepens and their relationship further develops. We also learn more about Luke and Melissa's story and why he became a male Siren. But the best thing is that there is a lot more magic in this book than in the first one. We really dive into a different world with magical creatures and supernatural elements. Harry Potter meets Divergent. Q: Who won't like your story? A: What do you mean? Everybody will love this urban fantasy!: ) Okay, it's not for people who want a dark story with a lot of sex. The characters in Heart of Power face challenges and there is tension but it's a teenage romance novel and therefore written without the use of graphic violence or sex but still with a lot of suspense around these mythical creatures. Q: Of course, we are already waiting for the third part of the trilogy. When will you have it ready? A: I hope that again I can write it within a year. But first, I need a break. I will go travel in Asia some more and collect new ideas. Myanmar is calling and I must go. Plus, I'll visit China, the mother country of superstition, and collect as much good luck as I can. I need it in the publishing world so that people find my books with all the Amazon Bestsellers that are already around. You can help by spreading the word and writing a good review. Thank you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international phenomenon and winner of the German Book Prize. “A devastating novel about war, love, and the art of survival” (Marie Claire). Julia Franck’s unforgettable English-language debut, The Blindness of the Heart is a dark marvel of a novel by one of Europe’s freshest young voices—a family story spanning two world wars and several generations in a German family. In the devastating opening scene, a woman named Helene stands with her seven-year-old son in a provincial German railway station in 1945 amid the chaos of civilians fleeing west. Having survived with him through the horror and deprivation of the war years, she abandons him on the station platform and never returns. The story quickly circles back to Helene’s childhood with her sister Martha in rural Germany, which came to an abrupt end with the outbreak of the First World War. Their father is sent to the eastern front, and their Jewish mother withdraws from the hostility of her surroundings into a state of mental confusion. As we follow Helene into adulthood, we watch riveted as the costs of survival and ill-fated love turn her into a woman capable of the unforgiveable. “Enthralling, richly imagined and remorseless.” —The New York Times Book Review “Spellbinding . . . The young woman at the center of Julia Franck’s acclaimed novel The Blindness of the Heart ranks among the most haunting characters to be found in European fiction about twentieth-century horrors . . .
