Stolen

“This book will take your heart, make it a little bit bigger, and then fill it with love. I would recommend this book to anyone from 10-100. To put this book in words is like trying to describe love. I had just gotten it and I finished it the next day because I couldn’t put it down. If you like action, thrilling fights, and/or romance, then this is the perfect book for you.”

—Steven L. Jagerhorn

Book Haven- Amazon Reviewer

“This book written by Cheree Alsop was written very well. It is set in the future and what it would be like for government control. The drama was great and the story was very well put together. If you want something different, then this is the book to get and it is a page turner for sure. You will love the main characters as well, and the events that unfold during the story. It will leave you hanging and wanting more.”

Heart of the Wolf

“Absolutely breathtaking! This book is a roller coaster of emotions that will leave you exhausted!!! A beautiful fantasy filled with action and love. I recommend this book to all fantasy lovers and those who enjoy a heartbreaking love story that rivals that of Romeo and Juliet. I couldn't put this book down!”

—Amy May

“What an awesome book! A continual adventure, with surprises on every page. What a gifted author she is. You just can’t put the book down. I read it in two days. Cheree has a way of developing relationships and pulling at your heart. You find yourself identifying with the characters in her book...True life situations make this book come alive for you and gives you increased understanding of your own situation in life. Magnificent story and characters. I’ve read all of Cheree’s books and recommend them all to you...especially if you love adventures.”

—Michael, Amazon Reviewer

“You’ll like this one and want to start part two as soon as you can! If you are in the mood for an adventure book in a faraway kingdom where there are rival kingdoms plotting and scheming to gain more power, you’ll enjoy this novel. The characters are well developed, and of course with Cheree there is always a unique supernatural twist thrown into the story as well as romantic interests to make the pages fly by.”

Karen, Amazon Reviewer

When Death Loved an Angel

“This style of book is quite a change for this author so I wasn’t expecting this, but I found an interesting story of two very different souls who stepped outside of their “accepted roles” to find love and forgiveness, and what is truly of value in life and death.”

—Karen, Amazon Reviewer

“When Death Loved an Angel by Cheree Alsop is a touching paranormal romance that cranks the readers’ thinking mode into high gear.”

—Rachel Andersen, Book Reviewer

“Loved this book. I would recommend this book to everyone. And be sure to check out the rest of her books, too!”

—Malcay, Book Reviewer

The Shadows Series

“. . . This author has talent. I enjoyed her world, her very well developed characters, and an interesting, entertaining concept and story. Her introduction to her world was well done and concise. . . .Her characters were interesting enough that I became attached to several. I would certainly read a follow-up if only to check on the progress and evolution of the society she created. I recommend this for any age other than those overly sensitive to some graphic violence. The romance was heartfelt but pg. A good read.”

—Mari, Amazon Reviewer

“. . . I’ve fallen for the characters and their world. I’ve even gone on to share (this book) with my sister. . .So many moments made me smile as well as several which brought tears from the attachment; not sad tears, I might add. When I started Shadows, I didn’t expect much because I assumed it was like most of the books I’ve read lately. But this book was one of the few books to make me happy I was wrong and find myself so far into the books that I lost track of time, ending up reading to the point that my body said I was too tired to continue reading! I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. . . Some of my new favorite quotes will be coming from this lovely novel. Thank you to Cheree Alsop for allowing the budding thoughts to come to life. I am a very hooked reader.”

—Stephanie Roberts, Amazon Reviewer

“This was a heart-warming tale of rags to riches. It was also wonderfully described and the characters were vivid and vibrant; a story that teaches of love defying boundaries and of people finding acceptance.”

—Sara Phillip, Book Reviewer

“This is the best book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. . . It literally has everything, drama, action, fighting, romance, adventure, & suspense. . . Nexa is one of the most incredible female protagonists ever written. . .It literally had me on pins & needles the ENTIRE time. . . I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Please give yourself a wonderful treat & read this book… you will NOT be disappointed!!!”

—Jess- Goodreads Reviewer

“Took my breath away; excitement, adventure and suspense. . . This author has extracted a tender subject and created a supernatural fantasy about seeing beyond the surface of an individual. . . Also the romantic scenes would make a girl swoon. . . The fights between allies and foes and blood lust would attract the male readers. . .The conclusion was so powerful and scary this reader was sitting on the edge of her seat.”

“Adventure, incredible amounts of imagination and description go into this world! It is a buy now, don't leave the couch until the last chapter has reached an end kind of read!”

Malcay- Amazon Reviewer

“The high action tale with the underlying love story that unfolds makes you want to keep reading and not put it down. I can't wait until the next book in the Shadows Series comes out.”

“Really enjoyed this book. A modern fairy tale complete with Kings and Queens, Princesses and Princes, castles and the damsel is not quite in distress. LOVE IT.”

Braine, Talk Supe- Book Blogger

“. . . It’s refreshing to see a female character portrayed without the girly cliches most writers fall into. She is someone I would like to meet in real life, and it is nice to read the first person POV of a character who is so well-round that she is brave, but still has the softer feminine side that defines her character. A definite must read.”

—
S. Teppen- Goodreads Reviewer

“I really enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. . . This premise is interesting and the world building was intriguing. The author infused the tale with the feeling of suspicion and fear . . . The author does a great job with characterization and you grow to really feel for the characters throughout especially as they change and begin to see Nexa's point of view. . . I did enjoy the book and the originality. I would recommend this for young adult fantasy lovers. It's more of a mild dark fantasy, but it would definitely fall more in the traditional fantasy genre . ”

To build and rebuild,

To create castles in the sky,

To reach those castles by

Dreaming and believing;

This is love.

Thank you to my husband and my family

For making every day one of castles.

“Don’t do it, Alex!”

Alex glanced over his shoulder at his twin sister Cassie. Her dark blue eyes were pleading. He looked back at the older boys as they jumped one at a time off the cliff.

“They’re Alphas,” Cassie pointed out. The wind ta
ngled in her curly brown hair; she shoved a strand behind her ear. “It’s not worth it. Think about what you’re going to do! You’ll suffer consequences they can get away with.”

She always had a way of sounding older than their fourteen years. Alex clenched his hands into fists for a moment, torn. He couldn’t take her imploring gaze, but the last of the boys was about to jump.

“You coming, Alex?” Raynen asked, glancing over the edge. A hint of uncertainty touched his gaze.

“Sorry, Cass,” Alex
called over his shoulder. He leaped off the cliff before either his sister or Raynen could move. The wind rushed past him, bringing scents of evergreens, rocks far older than any who dwelled in the forest, and the crisp reminder that winter was soon to come.

The cold, sharp grasp of the water enveloped him. It stole the breath from his lungs and peppered his exposed flesh with merciless pinpricks of pain. He kicked as soon as his feet touched the bottom. He rocketed up; his lungs burned, aching to draw in a breath. He wondered if he would make it in time.

Alex broke the surface of the lake with a gasp.

“Hey, it’s the little guy!” someone exclaimed from the bank.

“I didn’t think he had the guts,” another said.

“I didn’t think he had the coat,” someone else replied. Everyone laughed.

Alex swam to the shore. The irony of dogpaddling wasn’t lost on him, but it was the only way he knew how to swim. His sneakers grazed rocks and he stumbled forward until he fell to his knees on the shore.

“Good job, Alan,”
Torin said, slapping him on the back hard enough to make him cough. The older boy flicked wet brown hair out of his eyes.

“It’s
Alex,” Alex corrected. They had been at the Academy together for almost six years and Torin still didn’t know his name. He couldn’t understand why everyone followed the Alpha; it must have been more for brawn than brains.

“
Is Raynen gonna jump?” Sid, Torin’s Second, asked.

“
I don’t know,” Alex told them. He shaded his eyes with one hand and gazed back up the cliff. Now that he was beneath it, the distance looked even more intimidating. A normal human wouldn’t survive a drop like that. The voice in the back of his mind whispered that a Gray shouldn’t, either.

Cassie glared down at him. He could only imagine the scolding he would receive when they returned to the Academy. He hadn’t had a choice; not really. It was Choosing Day and he really didn’t want to be
chosen last yet again. His heart stuttered. He put a hand to his chest as he stood.

A bell rang. It echoed through the forest, bouncing off trees and reaching the werewolves loud enough to make them cover their sensitive ears.
