Praise for Thrall

"Before you even start this review, put down anything you are doing and go read Thrall. It's AMAZING! BREATHTAKING! Engaging and smart, Thrall leaves you speechless!"
- Savannah, Books With Bite

"How do I even begin to put all the crazy, gushy, ramblings in my brain about this book onto paper?!? Where to even begin?....This book is a MUST read!"
- Hooked In A Book review on Amazon.com

"This was an amazing little gem of a book... It is everything you could want in a book: thrilling, exuberant, filled with myth and well drawn out characters, and a plot that keeps you guessing right to the very end. Unlike anything I've ever read before! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different to read within the YA paranormal genre - or even the adult YA paranormal genre."
- Margay Leah Justice review on Amazon.com

"I read this book months ago and the plot still sticks with me in its entirety. This book really should be made into a movie - the imagery and plot is all there waiting for the big screen and whoever plays Braedyn is going to explode into superstardom. In the meantime, would Jennifer Quintenz please, PLEASE write the sequel because this is a story that must continue!"
- Memrid, Amazon.com review

"This was a terrific read! After I finished this book (at 2:00 AM on a work night) I immediately went in search for more from this author. I hope to see more from her soon!"
- Wynnona, Amazon.com review

About Thrall

Welcome to Braedyn Murphy’s life. She’s a typical—if shy—sophomore navigating the slings and arrows of high school life with her two best friends, Royal and Cassie. Then a new boy, Lucas, moves into the house next door, and Braedyn finds herself falling in love for the first time.

But Braedyn’s normal life comes crashing down around her ears when she learns she’s a descendent of Lilith, the mother of all demons - and that she might play a critical role in an ancient war between the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Lilith. Turns out the right answers aren’t always clear or easy. And as for “good” and “evil” – it all depends on how you choose to act.

Inspired by the ancient Mesopotamian myths of Lilith and her offspring, Thrall explores first love, strong friendships, and taking on adult responsibilities against the backdrop of powerful supernatural forces and life-and-death stakes.

A girl uncomfortable in her own skin, plagued with self-doubts coming about from perceived incompatible teen growth spurts. Young Braedyn starts out as a girl clouded by doubts regarding whether her peer's opinions are congruent with her own. A story taking place in the sophomore year, when abuse and bullying seek to draw attention away from the weakness of the perpetrators, by directing them towards easy prey. That difficult age on the cusp of becoming a young adult, no longer an adolescent, when most hope to get through unscathed.

Circumstances, perhaps even a dash of fate, initially lead Braedyn into situations determined to ensure her new neighbour (Lucas) is there when Braedyn needs him. From foot-in-mouth to knight in shining armour events, it seems fate has seen fit to present the two teens with a need to become acquainted.

Timing both fortuitous and not, Braedyn and Lucas are drawn to one another. As Braedyn comes to learn just why her instinctual sensation of being in quicksand becomes ever more apt, the accuracy of Braedyn's instincts prove to be sound time and again regardless of whether her conscious mind is up-to-date and/or knows why.

With propensities for resilience and adaptability, its not hard to believe that she might be destined for more. As you read, becoming swept away in the manner of storytelling, its easy to forget that you're dealing with teens on the early cusp of adulthood. Often its not until intimacy arises between players that you come to remember their age.

This detail of the characters places a Young Adult aspect on the story but much of the time the story is fit for broader audiences. The maturity of the central characters further reinforces this observation. It behooves potential readers not to get too bogged down by genre semantics, if so they'll miss an opportunity to discover a very well written book and original plot.

Religous retellings are well thought out, the spin on creation theories intuitive. How immortality comes to serve the Lilitu (demons) most, ironically reinforces that humanity is as much a victim of temptation as anything 'evil'. As the penny finally drops on Braedyn's existence, its hard to not consider that oldest of developmental debates: nature versus nurture. Is Braedyn set to be a force for evil, simply because of what she is, or will she be the missing trumph card for good, because of who she is?

Any number of the lies of Braedyn's past have the capacity to tear asunder her self constructs. That she's required to then perpetuate these trends when dealing with some of those closest to her, exacerbating their influence. On the morning of reaching the dreaded 16th birthday, with all Braedyn has come to know about her birth, the last thing she was prepared for, or capable of even detecting it would seem, was an overnight accentuation of her feminine wiles.

Her footprint on the world changes dramatically in a single night, just how she'll go about handling this further stressor, and the risks to her wellbeing from the Guard, are among the building expectations solicited well by the storytelling. Truly surprising developments for a girl who until now had enjoyed blending into the background. A girl least likely to be noticeable at Coranado Prep; a girl for who safety is reliant on blending with the background.

Unexpected developments, entertaining characters and a natural writing style all help to make Thrall an enjoyable reading experience. The original plot and world building capping off a 5 🌟read! In true series fashion the depth of the story slowly climaxes so that the furtuer you read the further you become involved. The steady pace and presentation of knowledge drawing the reader into Braedyn's world.

Knowing her heartaches and predicting her plight aren't always synonymous. For every prediction you get right there's more that's a surprise; both are satisfying, working well to elicit greater empathy. Whilst certain necessary closures are obtained, as many new doors of possibilities are developing, ensuring reader's walk away with the desire to more... such examples of technique and skill are numerous.

The succubus fangirl in me is going happy-go-lucky. A coming of age story for a succubus, one of my favorite supernatural creatures of all time? Yes please! And amazingly enough this book does not disappoint. I meant to savour it, to draw out the pages and enjoy for as long as I could. Instead I tore through it in two sittings without being able to put it down.

Every once in a while I really want to buy the books that are self-published, first time novels, yet to reach the shelves in your local bookstore. I like the idea of supporting aspiring authors in their way to writers heaven. But sadly sometimes those shiny new books are rushed to the printing press before they are ready. This is not one of those books. Ignore the blurb, it makes it sound so much more teen-y than it is.

I would like to draw your attention to the cover. It is a good cover but there are others like it. I thought it was nice enough when I bought the book but it should not be that special. But when you hit the exact scene in the book from which the cover is, it blows you away. Suddenly the girl looks magical, having that Cinderella effect and everything.

For a first time author, Jennifer Quintenz, I salute you. I truly hope that you are going places (hopefully places where one writes many many books). The writing style is so smooth, yet gripping. Add some good characters, well-paced story and you have something that I like. No, not like. Love.

As I mentioned before I loves succubus stories. In this case named after Lilith and called Lilitu. And there really has not been a story which gives us first-hand insight into what it feels like to become one of the seductive demonesses. This story was paced perfectly, being very exciting and yet easing you into it when needed. I do not want to spoil because everyone deserves the awe of this book. I will drop the ditbit that I think it is wonderful that the part of mythology where succubi visit men in their dreams is not left out. And that they are, in fact, demons.

Braedyn is a sweet girl, easy to identify with. But as she progresses and grows into being a Lilitu while still being part of the Guard is amazing. She is not written as too perfect, she makes mistakes, stumbles and that's what makes her loveable. Plus while she is the "loner", she is not a whiny character, which is not easy to write. Lucas is the male interest in this book, he has solid reason for doing what he does and he stays true to why he became part of the Guard. It’s what makes him a good character. Definitely not your typical, shallowly written lover boy. But my favorites are Braedyns father and Thane. It is so lovely to have such deep side characters. Their stories were just as compelling as Breadyns.

As you can tell I am over the moon with this book and will be ordering the second book as soon as I have money for it. (which has to be after Christmas. Really, who thought gift-giving was more fun than receiving them. But sadly so much more expensive). So no surprise that “Thrall” gets full five stars and the highest recommendations I can give.

I love that the description points out that "good" and "evil" depend on how we act. The main character, Braedyn, has to discover that fact the hard way in this coming of age tale.
Braedyn is a sweet, nondescript 15-year-old girl with two close friends and not many other connections when this story starts. She is weeks away from her 16th birthday and some changes that are about to rock her entire world on its access.
I got this book when it was offered as a free download, but it would have been well worth buying at regular price. Other reviews here have done a pretty good job of plot description, so I am going to go straight to what I liked and didn't.
Descriptions - Jennifer Quintenz obviously has an eye for details, a fact that she bears out well in this book. She balances nicely between offering descriptions that flush out characters and not weighing the story down with them. She knows how to do fight scenes, which can be a weak point with some authors.
Main character development - I love that in the midst of all these new otherworldly conflicts Braedyn is dealing with, she still faces issues of the everyday teenager (first love, being a good friend, parental expectations, bullying, high school politics). She struggles to do right by all the people she cares about. She makes some bonehead moves along the way, showing that no one is perfect.
Fantasy factor - I don't really read fantasy books as a whole, though I like some. That said, I liked the mythology Quintenz created with the Lilitu. My only problem is that there could have been more about their history, powers, where they live (The best bad guys are the deep ones). Since the story is told through Braedyn's perspective, you learn as she does, whether that means someone telling you an abreviated history or witnessing what powers they have as the story unfolds. The same goes with The Guard, who definitely could bear to be more flushed out. There still are things that are open in my mind about characters mentioned and their background, but I was fine with that because I am hoping it means the author plans on making this a series.
Plot - It moves along at a good pace. I bought the book three days ago and have been reading it when I can since then. Just finished a few minutes ago. It doesn't rush the action. Just like in life, there are moments of intense action and moments when you seem to be in a holding pattern, wishing something would happen buy also fearing it. It addition to the overall storyline, the book deals with some other hard issues, most notably the fallout of sex when you are not in a committed relationship and are betrayed and the dangers of seeking revenge.
I really do love this book. I would like to see more developed with this storyline.
SIDE NOTE: My only cautionary note (and this is a plea to the author) is that if romance develops more in future books as Braedyn grows older, continue to keep a young adult audience in mind (by the way, I am 30). I love how you handled Cassie's situation and Braedyn and Lucas' interactions. For people who like graphic romance scenes, that is entirely a personal choice and I am not dogging them. But I don't like seeing books aimed at teenagers that glorify I-would-die-without-you attitudes (Twilight) or focus on teen girls having sex without repercussions when the effects can potentially be dangerous at any age(pregnancy, disease, emotional heartbreak). I would rather see strong female girls who say I am going to wait at least until I am old enough to really understand the decision I am making and all the possible consequences. (Stepping off my soap box now :-) ).

Interesting and thought-provoking, it's YA without too much 'teen drama' (there's a bit but it's not over the top)
