When Worlds Collide, Shadow Wrestles Light

Seventeen-year-old Cera Marlowe wants a normal life; one where she and her mom can stop skipping town every time a disturbing vision strikes. But when a girl she knows is murdered by a monster she can’t explain, Cera’s world turns upside down.

Suddenly thrown into an ancient supernatural battle, Cera discovers she’s not alone in her gifting and vows to use her visions to save lives. But why does John Milton’s poem Paradise Lost keep interrupting her thoughts?

In a race against time and a war against unearthly creatures, will decoding messages embedded in the works of classic literature be enough to stop the bloodshed and protect those she loves?

My Thoughts on Mortal Sight:

I loved the classic literature thrown in and amongst the storyline.  This is a fast-paced read that’s going to rivet you until the last word.  Good thing it’s going to be a series because it makes you want to keep reading. 

Many books in this genre I read just so I can know for sure if it’s an okay book for my teenage daughter to read.  We’re picky about what we allow our children to read as it will stay with them as they grow.  

So, would I let my daughter read this book?  Yes, I would.  In fact, as soon as I finished it she gave it a read.  Her words when done were where is the next one?  That’s the problem with books in series.  You’re left waiting and wanting unit the next one comes out.  And then, if you’re like me you have to reread the first one because you don’t want to miss a thing!

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Sandra

I am so excited to share this story. The original story seed for Mortal Sight came from the premise: what if someone never felt like they belonged in this world because they really didn’t? They were born for a place they didn’t know existed, an unseen realm. And if so, what things in our everyday world would shout out this truth, point to this other world, and try to get their attention to let them know that the restlessness is intentional and they were called to something bigger than themselves.
 
The use of art and literature throughout the story comes from my own love for art and the artist community. The unique way artists look at the world could point to this other realm. I chose Milton’s Paradise Lost, in particular, because the poem speaks of things invisible and unseen wars.
 
I have a deep love for artists and the creative community and love encouraging others to tell stories through art, whether it’s visual, music, poetry, dance, writing, etc. It’s in art’s narrative that we see broken pieces of ourselves. This story came from the idea that art could create common ground, kickstart community, and maybe even change the way we see ourselves, others or even the world.
