Excerpt from Creatura by Nely Cab:
“Why can’t you believe that I am real?” he asked. “Because you’re not. Look at you with your golden skin and wings, wearing a skirt. How can I believe you’re real?” “I can prove it.”“Oh, yeah? I dare you.”“Do you, now?” David raised his brow.“Double dare. And you should wear a skirt that looks more likepants for the occasion.”“Your clever quips are very delightful, my lovely. Are youpositively sure about this?”“I’ve been waiting for this for three months.” I crossed my armsover my chest. “Bring it on.”“Very well. But I have to warn you, I’m quite the competitor.”“Then there should be a prize for the winner to make it more interesting.”“You’re proposing a wager?” I nodded.“If I win, you’ll leave my dreams forever,” I said. He gazed at me for a moment. Maybe it was just myimagination, but I thought I saw a trace of a grin on his face.“If I should win, you will believe me when I say I’m not adream,” David said.“If you say so,” I snickered. “I guess this is goodbye since I’ll bewinning.” “And...” he said“There’s more?”“And...you will never again come here.”“Okay,” I said. “Fair enough.”“And...” he said again.“That’s too many ‘ands’.”“And...” he continued, “I bid you not farewell, but goodmorrow.”
David tipped his head as he disappeared, leaving behind a cloudof golden dust.
REVIEW
4 STARS
I enjoyed this imaginative fantasy. I loved Isis’s youthful voice and the way in which she reacted when she found out the monster haunting her dreams actually came into her waking life. The story is told in a straight-forward way mostly from Isis’s perspective. The suspense and feeing of dread was exceptional in the opening pages. I would have preferred more conflict, and a greater sense of danger as the story progressed. Still I found it to be an engaging start, and I look forward to watching Isis come fully into her powers as the series continues in the next books. It’s an entertaining mix of mythology and fantasy.
This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review.
