From the Inside Flap

• This is an excerpt from Chapter 2. Enjoy!

I had reason to be wary of Rowan Gresham when I saw him at the coffee shop. Crazy doesn't always look crazy. Sometimes it looks like the most handsome and refined gentleman ever encountered in one's short life. Gresham sat at a corner table for two but the confident set of his shoulders, the rigid turn of his jaw, and the indiscriminate menace in his glare occupied the space of half a dozen. The pendant light above him had blown providing a concealing shadow, and despite the prime coffee consumption hour the tables around him stood deserted. I wasn't the only one who picked up on his threatening vibe. The gray counter near the register betrayed streaks of white from repeated abuse as half-conscious and completely-apathetic baristas slid hot beverages across it day after day. I ordered a large latte and added a shot of mocha at the last minute because I sure deserved it after the day I'd had. The air in the coffee shop was infused with the thick, robust aroma of coffee beans, and I took a fortifying breath. Blind courage was what I needed to face him again. It had gotten me this far. Just a bit further yet to go.I made my way to the back table and sat across from Gresham, who stood while I approached and sat again once I was seated. This unfamiliar display of chivalry pleased me, but I hastily remembered I hated him and quelled any gushy feelings. "Thank you for coming, Stella. I had my doubts you would. Do you care for anything besides coffee?"Rowan Gresham had a slight accent. Not English, exactly. Not French. I couldn't quite place it, but it seemed to have the influence of a romance language. He rolled the "r" in 'care.' Sexy. No, Stonewall. He's a weirdo, remember?His lightweight black sweater probably cost more than my entire ensemble, which that day was nothing to sneeze at. I'd worn my navy sheath dress, the one cut a little too low in the back and a little too high in the hemline. A patterned belt cinched my waist and defined the line of my chest. Casual ballet flats ensured the outfit still said 'daytime.' "I almost didn't." I forced the words out and raised my chin. "But I couldn't overcome my curiosity." Nerves inspired me to swipe an imaginary strand of auburn hair behind my ear. "So? Let's hear it. What do you know about my father? And just so you know," I warned, "I asked the woman at the counter to keep an eye on our table, should you get any more ideas about throwing me over your shoulder. And three people know I'm meeting you." A complete lie. I hadn't even told my roommate Lizzie the truth about the meeting."Yes, I'm sorry about that," he stammered uncomfortably. "But you must admit that the first time was to save your life, and the second...well, I did need you to get you into the car quickly." To his credit, he looked abashed as his gaze shot to the floor and he licked dry lips."Well, let's get right down to it, then, Mr. Gresham." I sat back in my seat, crossed my arms and gave him my best scowl--eyebrows pulled together in the middle and everything. "What do you want to tell me so desperately that you were willing to kidnap me?" He gave me a smile that was less like a smile and more like a you-were-cute-for-a-minute-but-now-shut-the-hell-up. "I have some information I'm afraid is going to give you a bit of a shock. There's no real way to ease into it. The world...you...things are not what they seem." He was silent for a moment and scrunched up his face, turning his head from side to side as if he was trying to work out some great mystery. He hesitated so long I thought he wouldn't go on. But then he set his square jaw and nodded once. "Look, I'll just dive right into it. Stop me if you have questions. There exists a whole other realm in which beings have varying lineages, abilities, knowledge. This world is parallel to the one you know, but it is vastly different. My world knows of yours, of course, but very few people within your world have the slightest idea about mine.""Well, sure," I said and leaned back in my chair to look over my shoulder and see if a) anyone had overheard the whackjob, and b) I could make it to the exit before he grabbed me again. "You will undoubtedly find this impossible to believe, and for that reason and for the sake of saving valuable time, I've brought a substantial token of proof of my world's existence." I was reeling from his sudden louie into Looney Land, but this profession did grab my attention. Visions of tin-foil Fedoras and Hot Pockets bearing the likeness of Baby Jesus filled my mind as I waited for him to produce his 'proof.' Idly, I concluded it was surely one of life's great travesties that such a fine specimen of a man was a raging nut-job.I looked up to find Gresham glancing nervously around the coffee shop. He put his hands under the table and motioned with his head and eyes that I should look down. I rolled my eyes. "Oh, great. More penis tricks. No freakin' way." I shook my head on a smirk. The guy was unbelievable.His eyes bulged and his jaws clenched in silent disapproval of my resistance. He made a jerky nod toward the floor again. "Oh, what the hell. Seen one, you've seen 'em all." I leaned over and peeked at what he wanted so badly to show me under the table. What I saw under that table shelved any further sarcasm because there, plain as the smirk on my face, was the tiniest person I had ever seen. Dressed in a three-piece brown tweed suit, he looked more like an old-world attorney than a mythical creature, though he did have facial hair enough to deserve the gnome moniker. Or was that a gnomiker? The distinguished little man stood with hands on his hips and tapped a foot in impatience. Despite being the size of a large doll, he managed to look down his spectacles at me and raised a furry eyebrow in the universally understood, 'Well, seen enough?' I nodded numbly in answer to his silent question. Gresham offered his own nod of thanks to the little man, and then he was gone.I aimed for cool and collected, but my heart raced madly and my mouth was so dry I couldn't move my tongue. I reached for my latte, but my hand shook so that I returned it to my lap. I smoothed my dress against my legs in an attempt to rid my hands of their sudden moisture.No. I did not just see what I thought I saw. Not possible. "Since you seem to be at a loss for words--a phenomenon I don't take lightly since in my experience you rarely have little to say--I'll proceed." I shook my head dumbly--again--so Gresham continued. "My world is made of beings far different than this one. The major variant between the two is that humans on Earth evolved from primates, while the residents of Thayer evolved from many groups within the animal kingdom. Thayerians trace their ancestry from hoofed animals like deer and horses, from wolves, bears, amphibians, as well as primates."My eyes lost focus as I considered his words."Are you still with me?" "Yes," I croaked. My brain-to-mouth function was firing at a snail's pace."Another marked difference is that Thayer is a far more magical realm. Since it's much older, and our people have varying lineages and talents, we have developed and learned to control supernatural abilities."I didn't believe what he was saying for one minute. Another world? No. I'd know if something, somewhere else existed. Wouldn't I? Astrophysicists and astronomers would know if worlds existed parallel to ours. Wouldn't they?

By Samantha This was a Facebook suggestion, so I tried it.Bad idea.The good parts about the book:1) Not many typos or grammatical errors. (Thank you, Jen Crane, 'cause those are painful.)2) Beautiful cover.The bad parts:1) A heroine who has ostensibly graduated college but has the maturity of a sixth grader. Maybe. She has the emotional depth of a butterfly. Pretty much on the level of "he's hot, she's a bitch, where's my mommy?"2) Inconsistent characterization. The main squeeze, Gresham, must have multiple personality disorder. He is all over the place. The roomies/friends are almost interchangeable, because they all have mood swings where they act like someone else.3) Unbelievable relationships. The main squeeze and the second fiddle have zero reason to be interested in the heroine. They just kinda glom onto her. She's not nice, not funny, not interesting, and not particularly interested in either one of them other than a superficial "hot bod" attraction. Judging by what the heroine says about them, she doesn't even like them.4) Pages upon pages of material that gives nothing to the story. Maybe this stuff is a set-up for further down the road in the series, but it bored me senseless.5) A main character who I despise. She stands around talking when she's about to captured. She abandons a friend and gets mad when he doesn't look for her. She wants to get freaky at the weirdest times. She's so narcissistic that she ambushes her emotionally fragile mother and gets upset when her mother leaves without answering her questions, then promptly forgets about her mother because, hey, dragons and naked peeps. She's also very crude, and not even in a funny way. "Who farted in your Fage?" is a prime example.Summary: I didn't like it. I wouldn't recommend it. Not even for emotionally challenged tweeners.

12 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Disappointed By Whitney Marie Robison The plot is imaginative and the storyline had a significant amount of potential. However, the writing style is choppy and completely unimaginative when it comes to using the English language. The heroine is out of her league and it is reflected in her dialogue which shows a lack of class. I would like to say that I finished the book but I gave up at the phrase "Who farted in your Fage?" used to ask why the male protagonist was frustrated. I would love to see the concept completely redone with a heroine who is more appealing.

9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. If you like fantasy, romance, and adventure at a fast pace.. By Debra Think Anne McCaffery and Rosemary Rogers combined with Harry Potter...I know the first two authors date me but, really. I was a little disappointed at the beginning when there was so little information about Stella Stonewall's family and life. The storyline begins with action and rarely lets up. By halfway through the book I had forgiven the Ms. Crane for not being more forthcoming. It was a fun and a quick read that left me wondering what was going to happen next. I have already purchased the electronic version of Origin Exposed: Descended of Dragons, Book 2, so I don't have to wait to find out.
