Become (Desolation, #1)

Become (Desolation #1)

by


Sixteen-year old Desolation Black wants nothing more than to stay in Hell where it’s cold and lonely and totally predictable. Instead, she’s sent back to Earth where she must face the evil she despises and the good she always feared.

When Desi is forced to embrace her inner demon, she assumes her choice has been made—that she has no hope of being anything other than what her father, Lucifer, has created her to be. What she doesn’t count on, is finding a reason to change—something she’s never had before—a friend.


MY TEASER:

I tried to see what humans would see: A teenaged girl, sixteen years old—even though I’d lived in Hell for countless centuries.

Cross, Ali (2011-11-07). BECOME (Desolation #1) (Kindle Locations 187-188). Ninjas Write Publishing. Kindle Edition. 


Ali's Second book in this series:

Desolate (Desolation #2) Desolate (Desolation #2)

by Where darkness lives, all becomes desolate . . .

It’s been two months since sixteen-year-old Desolation Black chose Earth over Hell and her friend Miri over her eternal love, Michael.

Desi goes through the motions of life: school, training, remaining vigilant against the forces of darkness, but her dreams are full of the choices she wishes she could change. When she’s injured by a strange demon, old temptations arise, and the lines between good and evil blur. Desi discovers those choices aren’t so final after all.

And this time, the power of love—for a friend, for a lover—may not be enough to save her from the darkness that lurks within.

  4. What a name, Desolation, that's not very uplifting! I do like the sound of the book though and the cover is very nice, except for the title font and colour which sort of ruins it for me. :) Thanks for sharing.

    1. So you don't like calligraphy? You are more of a modern girl? I think the title "Desolation" speaks for itself about the story line, but as yet I have not completed reading the book, so I cannot say for sure.
