Ghost Crown
(The Tracks Book 2)
To make matters worse, Middleburg real-estate moguls who have bought up most of the land in the Flats have started evicting their tenants. They are searching for a priceless treasure prophesied in ancient Chinese writings and will stop at nothing to find it. But Raphael and his impoverished Flatliners vow to get it first and use it buy back their homes. Meanwhile, a handsome, charismatic half-angel, half-human comes to Middleburg with plans to steal Aimee from Raphael. As Raphael and his Flatliners and Zhai and his Toppers work to perfect their supernatural abilities and find the treasure, Aimee begins kung fu training, intent on becoming strong enough to locate and rescue her missing mother. When she discovers that the mysterious treasure may be the key to finding her mom, the race to find it intensifies.
But there are others who seek the treasure, too, forces powerful enough to reduce all of Middleburg, and perhaps the world, to ashes…
After their harrowing adventures, Middleburg's teens are hoping life will return to normal. Despite a tentative alliance between the goth Flatliners and the rich, preppie Toppers, any hope of peace is dashed when Topper girl Aimee arrives at the homecoming dance with Raphael, a Flatliner. A fight erupts between the two gangs and, in the midst of the rumble, a bizarre catastrophe occurs when Middleburg's homecoming queen discovers she has supernatural powers.
Synopsis of Dark Territory:
In the quaint town of Middleburg, an abandoned train yard and old railroad tracks form the dividing line between two rival gangs--the posh, preppie Toppers and the working-class Flatliners. When Raphael, the leader of the Flatliners, falls in love with Aimee, a Topper girl, the rival gangs prepare to do battle.
I received an ARC for review.
I have never read a martial-arts book before......WOW! I love this book! It is filled with martial-arts action, suspense, mystery, romance, tragedy, forbidden love, gangs, war and it's a YA Read.
Ignacio Torrez moves smack dab in the middle of Nowhereville from the gang banging streets of Los Angeles, only to find the town is not as innocent as it seems. He learns a valuable lesson of honor and magic as he sets out on a thrilling adventure to bring peace to the Toppers, preppie and rich and the Flatliners, who live by a strict code of honor and have mad martial arts skills, rival enemies on the brink of war due a fordidden love, Aimee Banfield, a Topper girl and Raphael Kain, the Flatiners leader.
J Gabriel Gates delivers an action-packed, adventurous read, the characters are believable and well devloped, the world building keeps you on the edge of your seat. I hated to see it end and am looking forward to Book 2 ~ Ghost Crown
