Book Description

December 23, 2011
December 21, 2012 Will that fateful day destroy our world, or did the Mayans have something else in mind? Maya Delaney knows. Unfortunately. Maya Delaney is just an average sixteen-year-old. She's busy dealing with exams, her soon to be ex-boyfriend and fitting in. But Maya's got bigger problems. She's hiding a major secret from her dad and having strange visions she can't control. In her struggle to figure out who she is, she learns that she is meant to fulfill an ancient Mayan Prophesy and bring forth a New Age on earth. Will the spirit magic Maya wields be enough to defeat Toltec, an evil society bent on keeping her from her destiny? Or will that destiny itself destroy her?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Read January 9, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I usually don't read YA fantasy. I can easily claim I'm a tough cookie when it comes to review books, because my taste level is extremely sensitive to bad editing, bad writing, stupid plot lines and idiotic characters. I say it how it is. Either your book's great or it sucks.

Martha was courageous enough to ask whether I'd like to review her latest book: Jaguar Sun. I had no idea what the story was until she just told me it had to do with the end of the world and the Mayan calendar. Alright. She convinced me to give it a shot.

Jaguar Sun is definitely a fun book to read. The style flows, the editing is excellent, and the story is really good. She tells the tale of Maya, a sixteen year old girl of Mayan descent, who one day discovers she has become a shifter. In a world where every human being has an animal alter ego, Maya knows the consequences of such a change on her life and the life of her friends. Her fate will soon be revealed to her, and she will understand she's part of a much bigger picture involving the end of the world on December 21, 2012. Aided by her lovely boyfriend Matt, and her best friends the twins Damian and Lyssa, she will learn how to accept her new condition and how to use her energy to save the world from evil forces. Jaguar Sun is the beginning of a series which will be followed by Jaguar Moon.

If you like witty and strong female characters, Maya is your girl. Matt is simply to die for, and I think every woman will have a serious crush on him after the first few chapters. The twins spice up the story with just the right amount of humor.

So what are you waiting for? Go read!

FYI: Martha Bourke was kind enough to send me her book free of charge so I could review it. I don't know Martha personally, nor have I been paid to give her five stars. This review is completely objective.

5.0 out of 5 stars A BOOK FOR EVERYONE!!! Great read!! March 30, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read "Jaguar Sun," and I was enthralled. This book timely, December 2012 here we come! I do not usually read young adult novels; however, I am glad I did with "Jaguar Sun." Maya, the girl with the gift of shape-shifting, is a typical high school adolescent with boy problems and school problems. However, she is thrown for a loop when her dreams come out of her sleep. What engrossed me was the fact Maya was so deeply connected and open with her all-knowing Grandmother. Even though Maya was not connected to the Hispanic culture, she was connected to her family, her Father and Grandmother. The twist in this story come from such an all-knowing place, you would think the Author knows something we don't know. The trip to Mexico has Maya dealing with the Mayan prophecy in earnest. I loved the other characters in the book, the twins were very entertaining. I work at a college and the writing was true to the way teens and old teens speak and behave. I would recommend this book for all ages! It was a great and entertaining read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Series January 29, 2012
Format:Paperback
Fast-paced and fun! Interesting take on the Mayan 2012 prophecy with some well-researched mythology woven into modern day life. Perfect for older teens and adults. Quirky and likeable characters combined with an action-packed story line equals a great start to a new teen paranormal series! Looking forward to the next installment :)
