★★★★★ A maligned and shamed teenager transforms into our planet’s only hope of salvation. ★★★★★

In OF THE HEART, the 1st volume in the epic SOLSTICE SERIES, Blenkush pens an engaging story of sorrow, courage, and learning how to love by overcoming fear. The first-person narrative features a young woman (Julissa) who is desperately trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life after the death of her boyfriend and the disappearance of her father within a year’s time. Amid hardship, Blenkush tightly weaves Julissa and Aaron’s slow-building relation within an engaging plot. Replete with a well-developed quasi-dystopian cast, Blenkush manages to throw in light-hearted moments. Of course of key interest—aside from Julissa and Aaron’s budding romance, Blenkush spends a great deal of time incorporating within his plot historical information about the mysticism behind Mt. Shasta, the lost city of Telos, Mu (the cradle of mankind), and the Lemurians’ connection with another lost city: Atlantis. Blenkush keeps his story constantly flowing by combining all of the above-mentioned literary elements, as well as including un-hackneyed scenarios and cliff-hanging chapter endings. A five-book epic tale, the Solstice Series offers fantasy romance aficionados a unique and unforgettable story line.

"The Solstice book series is nothing like I have ever enjoyed reading before. The story of Jules from her humble beginnings to her foretold end is inspiring. Fans of Stephanie Meyer will immediately want to dive into this series. This book is a great read at twilight or dawn or midday. There is the potential aspect that the story could be only akin to Bobby stepping out of the shower.

The reader will have to determine how these stories appeal to them. If you are a fan of Suzanne Collins, then this book series is for you too. The constant keeping the reader on edge generates a hunger that feels like a game. The books are a sweeping saga seemingly about love. The love of Aaron and Julissa or is it the love of peace? What is the price of peace and what will you have to put up with or give up before reaching that goal? Read this incredible series and determine that for yourself. Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien will also love this series. I will be shocked if Apple+ doesn't come knocking to create a new tv show out of this series." ~ N. N. Light

“This is a fascinating story full of action, mystery, and suspense. Dead pigs come alive during Biology class, a car is pulled back up over a cliff with telepathic powers, and scorched smelling air are just a few of the events you will encounter. Have you ever wondered about life-forces and how they affect all species? Have you noticed grasshoppers only hop forward, never sideways or backward? When individuals are depressed or sad, the human touch can be powerful. Or you can go from being happy to sad depending on the people around you. Why is this?
I liked this book (Of The Heart) because it made me think about the world around me and how my emotions can be influenced by outside sources. The story grabbed my attention at the beginning and continued throughout the book. The cliffhanger ending makes me want to run out and buy the next volume.” ~ Bertha Jackson, Onlinebookclub.org

REVIEWED BY LINDA TONIS
MEMBER OF THE PARANORMAL ROMANCE GUILD REVIEW TEAM
Julissa Grant has had to overcome the loss of her father, her uncle and her boyfriend and having her mother move them from Minnesota to Shasta City, California. A new school, a new home, a mother who can’t accept the death of her husband and finds solace in a bottle is a lot for a sixteen year old girl to have to deal with but it will only be the tip of the iceberg.

Julissa has found a friend in Cherrie, older and at a different school but living next door. Cherrie is a very unique character who encourages Julissa to skip her last class and join her looking for boys who rock climb. It was there that her life would take a turn because it was there she saw Aaron Delmon for the first time and she knew instantly she wanted to be with him. According to Cherrie the Delmon’s are anti-social and there is no way she will ever get Aaron to speak with her but Cherrie was very wrong.

Aaron has powers that begin to show over time and Julissa has to question whether he uses them for good or evil. She is convinced that he, his cousins and godfather are Lemurians, highly advanced beings from a secret city inside Mount Shasta who like vampires require the use of humans, vampires take blood and Lemurians take energy. Julissa finally confronts Aaron about who and what he is but doesn’t get all the answers she craves.

I have to be honest and state that when I was first approached to read this series my answer was “no”. I was sure that I would have no interest in this story but I finally decided to give it a try and I am happy I did. The book is full of historical facts about the Lemurians, the secret city in Mount Shasta and about Atlantis so if those topics are of interest to you then this book will definitely be too.

The entire story is told in first person by Julissa a character I grew to love. I also loved Cherrie who knows more about what is going on then she first admits. Aaron cares for Julissa and that is definitely reciprocated but there is so much she and I have to learn. The story ends in a cliffhanger but that is not a problem since all the books have been released and I will just pick up book two and read on.

Unexpected and Exhilarating!

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020

Atlantis. Secret Societies. Lemurians. If you find yourself intrigued by any of these, then Solstice of the Heart might just be your cup of tea.

Julissa is your average teen, except that during one year she suffers the loss of her boyfriend, her father and her uncle, after which he mother uproots her to move to California. Not the beaches though, where a teenager might love to hang out, but the mysterious Mount Shasta.

Located in northern California, Mount Shasta is the home of a legend centered on a hidden city of advanced beings from the lost continent of Lemuria. Whether Lemurians actually exist, they do amidst the pages of the Solstice series and author John Blenkush crafts the legend so skillfully, I actually spent an evening researching the mysterious Mount Shasta and it's legendary people.

Julissa does no such research. She has access to the real thing, a young man named Aaron Delmon, whose unique abilities soon have her wondering just what sort of people the Delmon's are and if she should be wary of them. I was reminded of the Twilight series in that respect, but only in that way, as Blenkush's tale is as unique and intriguing as the myths he explores throughout his narrative.

There's action, suspense, romance and a lovely splash across the metaphysical pond where readers explore such profound questions as the true cost of peace and why insects only hop in certain directions.

Unexpected and exhilarating, Solstice of the Heart is a symphony of subtle nuances, harmonious prominences, comprehensibility and resounding ambiguities that set the stage for a consummate fantasy read.
