SUMMARY
Kaila Guidry has always known she is
different. When she meets Jordyn Stryker at school, she finds out
just how different.
Jordyn was born and raised far from
Earth, a starseed, one of six new students sent to Louisiana's Bush
High to learn human ways. But Jordyn didn't count on meeting someone
like Kaila.
When Kaila is pushed to her limit by
high school bullying and cruelty, Jordyn awakens her to a new
reality—and to love. But to prove herself, Kaila must look the
other way as the real purposes of the starseeds unfold.
As the horrific plan behind the
starseed visit to Earth moves inexorably forward, Kaila and Jordan,
caught in an impossible love, must determine where their true
loyalties lie.
Praise
"You know from the opening
paragraph that something very strange is going on… We see Kaila try
to live the life of a normal teen, and we see her "otherness"
pull her back into an increasingly tangled web of questions, deceit,
and hidden intentions. Liz really shines as a writer, lining the
closets and drawers of everyday life with spine-chilling suspense
that springs out at you when you least expect it. Starseed is an
entertaining read. I highly recommend."
--Patricia B. Smith. Author “What the
Animals Tell Me” and “Fifty Shades of Santa” (clean romance
fiction)
"Liz Gruder’s characters come
alive through youthful, spunky narrative, and her headstrong heroine,
Kaila Guidry, elicits a reader’s encouragement from the first page.
Fans of Amanda Hocking will find themselves similarly transported
into Gruder’s exploration of the dark sides of faith, love, higher
dimensions, and, of course, high school." --Jadie Jones,
young-adult fantasy author
Purchase
Author Liz Gruder
As a youth, Liz Gruder saw a series of
UFOs with her best friend while riding bikes. Ever since, she’s
held a fascination for the stars. An avid reader, she used to hide
under her covers and read with a flashlight. She has degrees in
English and Psychology from Tulane University, a nursing license and
a yoga certification. After going through Hurricane Katrina in New
Orleans, Liz realized how short life is and is now slowly fulfilling
her bucket list: she’s been to the Egyptian pyramids (totally
awesome and thought provoking) and is now teaching yoga and writing
speculative fiction. Starseed is her debut novel.
