Synopsis:
When Jonathan wakes up beside a lake bruised and bleeding, he has no idea how he got there or where “there” really is. He must try to remember how he ended up in this place and why.
When he meets Grace and a group of people that seem to want to help him, he is thrown in to a world that he doesn’t know. Haunted by visions and voices in his head, Jonathan soon realises that this world isn’t as safe as he’d hoped.
Taken from his life and asked to save a land he knows nothing about, from a menacing hooded figure, Jonathan must learn quickly to survive. As he struggles to stay alive long enough to get home he is faced with a deadly choice, Join It or Die. And when it becomes clear that so many would do anything to kill him he must stay close to those who would kill for him.
To stay alive and get home he must face the one thing he never wanted to, the figure in black. And when the hood comes down Jonathan is faced with a revelation that could break him and destroy everything he has fought for.
My Review:
Brunswick followed a regular teen, Jonathan, on his journey into a magical world of the same name. It was a charming tale, for anyone who is a fan of fantasy, heroes, and especially imagination.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Every character was likeable, and Jonathan was the epitome of a wholesome hero. One of my favorite things was meeting all the creatures that lived in Brunswick. I'm not going to spoil them for you, but they were creatures/animals I can guarantee you haven't seen in any other fiction!
Imagination was a big role in this book. The whole story ran on it. The plot twists were totally unexpected, and so clever. The morals that came out at the end were also heartwarming, and the epilogue sealed my love of this book.
The cover kind of makes it look like a horror novel, but it's totally the opposite! I recommend this to anyone who is up for a bit of fantasy fun. (:
About The Author:
Ann Haines is a debut
writer from the South East of England. She is a married mother of two, a horror
movie buff, Tweeter, Blogger and a self-confessed
geek............... and GLEEK (much to her sons annoyance).
She has been writing from an early age and even took to illustrations as she
went through her teenage years. Although she still sketches as a hobby she now
prefers to focus on her writing. At nineteen she became a mother and had to put
her writing on hold for a more lucrative job to support her and her son, as it
was just the two of them. She never gave up the idea of becoming a writer
though and when her son was four he gave her the idea for what is now her first
book 'Brunswick'.
After two and half years of writing her book and researching the
self-publishing industry, Ann's book 'Brunswick' was published on Amazon. She
became part of the Indie Publishing community that she loves and is widely
involved in. Over the years she has had many ideas for her work and so we can
expect to see much more of this new Indie Author.
