Evading the Dark
High school sucks. It doesn’t matter who you ask; jock, cheerleader, computer nerd, or band geek, they will all say the same thing: It’s a nightmare. But Casey is still wondering how she got the short end of the stick. Just a Sophomore at the prestigious Luthos Academy for Magical Beings, Casey already knows more about heartache and fear than any almost-sixteen-year-old should. Orphaned and left to be raised by the Academy, she spends her days training to become a Guardian, but that dream is looking dimmer with every day that passes.Unlike the wand-waving heroines in all her favorite books, Witches in her world don’t cast spells, they are born wielding the power of nature: water, fire, earth, or air; powers Casey never developed. She’ll be lucky if they even allow her to take her final exams. She is top of her training class, but that doesn’t keep her from being looked down upon by every other being at her school. All Casey wants is to be given a chance, instead she finds the only life she’s ever known targeted by an unfathomable evil. Thrust into the center of an age-old prophecy, a war is coming with Casey at the reins. Will relying on her hard earned training be enough for her to make it out alive?
REVIEW 5/5
Evading the Dark is the debut novel from E.M. Rinaldi and let me tell ya SHE NAILED IT! Relatable and defined characters. A fantastic storyline. It’s a home run. She ensnared me with the Prologue. From page one I was hooked as my mind searched for clues to Casey’s past.
Speaking of Casey… Two words. Bad. Ass, I love her. Her snarkiness. Her combat skills. Her witty inner monologue. I just adore her.
Now let’s talk cliff hangers. E.M. Rinaldi left me slack jaw with my mouth gaping open and shaking my head. There must be more pages, right? Amazon had a glitch and lost a few pages. WRONG! But don’t let that be a turn off. This tale has action, suspense, murder and secrets galore. It simply wasn’t possible to put it all in one book. Rest assured, I will be stalking this author relentlessly until I get more.

Hiding Till Dawn
Destiny is unrelenting. It will come for you, and when it does there is no escaping it; something Casey knows firsthand. On the run from the dean and his ever loyal Imperial Guardians; Casey, Cedric, and Falon must put their trust in the most unlikely of allies.

Casey hasn’t forgotten the torment she suffered at his hand, and the nightmares are far from over. Can she eradicate this threat and help save her world? Or will she fall to the pressure of her fate?

REVIEW 5/5
Obviously since there is a Book 2 our fearless trio is still alive. (That cliff hanger from Book 1...OMG.) Not to give away any spoilers but Casey is BAD ASS in Book 2. Like Zena Warrior Princess bad ass. She hones her fighting skills and ability to heal to become lethal. Case's character grows so much in Book 2.
We also get a glimpse into Falon's past. Hold on to your kindle folks, it's a shocker!
There is so much I want to tell you but can't because SPOILERS. OMG, read this book! All of the characters are multi dimensional and complex. Their backstories are as exciting as the present. The author does a phenomenal job of weaving it all together. Hiding till Dawn is a fast paced, adventurous journey and a fantastic 5 star read.
