Synopsis

**Finding Eden is the continuation of Becoming Calder. Both books will release simultaneously, October 5, 2014**

Becoming Calder

There is a place in modern day America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences. In this place, there is no room for dreams, no space for self-expression, and no tolerance for ambition. 

In this place, there is a boy with the body of a god and the heart of a warrior. He is strong and faithful and serves his family honorably. But he dares to dream of more. 

In this place, there is a girl with the face of an angel and a heart full of courage. To her family, she is the vision of obedient perfection. But she dares to want that which she has been told can never be hers. 

Becoming Calder is the story of good versus evil, fear versus bravery, and the truth that the light of love has always found its way into even the darkest of places . . . From the beginning of time, to the end of the world. 

THIS IS THE FIRST PART IN A TWO-PART SIGN OF LOVE SERIES INSPIRED BY AQUARIUS. THE SECOND PART, FINDING EDEN, RELEASES SIMULTANEOUSLY. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and graphic sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Review

Oh my God!  What an absolutely amazing conclusion to Calder and Eden’s story.  Wow, this book was beautifully heart breaking and had such an amazing amount of angst, and I love me some angst, guys!

The ending of Becoming Calder had a huge cliffy and left me with a whole bunch of anxiety.

“There’s a spring.  I’ll wait for you.  I’ll be there.”

(SOB)

Every time that it seems that things cannot get worse for these two, they somehow do.  Be prepared for a big time jump.  3 years!  3 freaking years of missing each other, thinking something that happened when it actually didn’t.  You would think that their reunion after all that time would be perfect but, as usual. nothing can be easy with Calder and Eden.

“Eden, Eden, I was dead without you.  Oh God, I’ve been walking around like a ghost–half in this world, and half in the other.”

We had so so many questions at the end of Becoming Calder.  Questions of identities of many people among a ton of other questions.  Most of this book is spent reuniting and searching for answers; the whos and the whys of what happened in Becoming Calder.   I am happy to report that all of my burning questions were answered in Finding Eden and healing begins for these beautifully damaged people.

Finding Eden

Xander, Eden, and Calder all make an appearance in this book with the addition of some new characters.  Sometimes with Mia’s books I feel like I got my Happily-Ever-After but am still left feeling a bit sad for her characters.  She has this great ability to bring you a perfect ending with absolutely imperfect people.  She doesn’t feel the need to wrap a pretty bow around her story making it a sugary sweet ending with everything being perfect.  I kind of love that about her books.  They are more real and authentic.  Life is not perfect and not everyone gets a fairy tale ending; sometimes a happy ending is just…. good enough.
