"Portal" Character Spotlight!


Portal Chronicles:
PORTAL (book 1) Character Spotlight
Arizona Stevens

Description: 

Hockey-playing teen Arizona Stevens may look like your all-American teen, but she is British. She was born and raised in Wimbledon, London. She moved to New Jersey with her mom, Olivia and dad, Dillard, when he was relocated there by his company. Arizona usually lives in Princeton, NJ with her father (her mother and little sister, Ella, relocated to CA but she chose not to go with them). She has a dog named Gertrude who she describes as the love of her life.

Arizona finds herself caught in a new place, with a new persona, Arizona Darley. She has platinum blonde hair (usually brown) and hazel eyes. Arizona Darley also has an older brother, Harry and a best friend she has feelings for named Kellan.  Her nicknames include: “A” (used in NJ), “Shrimp” (used in CA), and “PH” (aka pink helmet; used in CA).



A letter from Arizona:
 Arizona Stevens (Darley) is the main character in the bestselling series the "Portal Chronicles" by Imogen Rose :).

DOG SWAG!

dog Dog Hoodie
(This little guy above looks EXACTLY like my little guy, Romeo below).
Purchase here: http://www.cafepress.com/portalchronicle.675020931

(The shirt, not my dog :p, he's not for sale :p).

I have had people ask me if I want to breed him, but one person actually asked me if they could buy him! I was at Whole Foods (Romeo in my purse) and someone said to me, "How much?" Confused, I said "Excuse me?" They said, "How much for the puppy, I will pay you twice what you paid." They were NOT joking. They tried to bargain with me! Like I would actually sell one of the loves of my life! NO WAY! :)

 AND this:


Dog T-Shirt

Would look amazing on my other guy, Andy (Anderson) (below).




(You can't buy him either, but we do take donations ;). JK)! 

He's a rescue dog. I was very hesitant to get a rescue dog because I didn't know how he/she would react around Romeo. But they were about to put him to sleep! There was NO way I was going to let that happen!

And now look:
Best Friends
I am so in love<3!

Initiation by Imogen Rose


Initiation by Imogen Rose


Synopsis: 

Set in the foothills of the alpine mountains in St.Moritz, this exclusive private school caters to a special kind of student. Enter at your own risk... but if you are human, you may not want to enter at all.

WARNING: This YA story is set in a school for paranormals who are very different from normal human teens. Thus, the language and some scenes might not be appropriate for younger YA readers. Recommended for those sixteen and above.


INITIATION is the first book in the prequel series (Bonfire Academy) of the Bonfire Chronicles.



Review:


I was asked to review book 2 of this series for a tour and of course I had to read book 1 first so I bought it! I am so glad I got the request for this tour because this is an amazing series! The first book grabbed me from the very first chapter! I could not put it down. I finished this book in a little over a day and it is 399 pages! This would normally take me 3-4 days to read. 


Imogen Rose does an amazing job telling the story, and although some scenes are a little "out there" even for the paranormal she absolutely kept my attention fully. I loved the story and I love the way she told it. I will be starting book 2 shortly and my review will be part of the tour in Aug and Sept.

Imogen Rose's bestselling series, Portal Chronicles, has attained cult status within indie literature and become a favorite among teens and adults alike. 
Portal (Book 1)
Come Find Me Two Years Ago... 
Six words that propel ice-hockey-playing tomboy, Arizona, into an alternate dimension. 
She suddenly finds herself  living the life of a glamorous cheerleader. She finds herself transported from her happy life with her dad to living with the mother she hates. 
Everyone knows her as Arizona Darley, but she isn't. She is Arizona Stevens.
As she struggles to find answers she is certain of two things -- that her mother is somehow responsible, and that she wants to go back home to her real life.
That's until she meets Kellan...  

Equilibrium  (Book 2)=
It’s not every day you see a naked body slumped by the side of the road…
This ominous sight is just the beginning of a mystery that will span two dimensions.
When California teen Arizona Darley and her siblings go missing, their mother, Dr. Olivia Darley, discovers that the time-travel portal she invented has been hijacked.
Is the hijacker responsible for the disappearance of her children? Have the children been transported to another dimension? If so, the police and FBI will never be able to find them, and Olivia Darley must find a way to rescue her children on her own.
How will she do this without access to the portal?

Quantum (Book 3)=
A whole year has passed. It’s October again… or is it?
As California teen, Arizona Darley, contemplates traveling back through the portal to seek out her dad, her life is plunged into a whirlwind ride through the unknown.
But this time, she doesn't disappear through the portal.
Has Arizona been kidnapped–again? Is Raj Sen to blame? Could Dillard have taken her?
As Kellan, David and her parents launch a frantic search with the help of the Wanderers, it becomes apparent that things are much more complex than they seem – for all of them. While investigating her daughter's latest disappearance, Olivia faces shocking revelations about the Wanderers and her life with Rupert.
In the meantime, what's happening in New Jersey? Are both of Arizona's worlds about to collide?


Momentum (Book 4)=
“Today is the day my crush, David, will finally ask me to the Ball...”
California teen Arizona Darley feels the buzz of an exciting day ahead as she rushes to Starbucks to meet David. Her David.
But he’s a no-show. Crushed, Arizona leaves the coffee shop and walks straight into trouble. Her life is turned upside down when she is thrown into the middle of yet another of Raj’s schemes.
Wanderers, Sigma-W-Pi, what is everyone talking about? And what’s up with Kellan?
