(Young Adult, Paranormal, Romance)
All that Celeste Wilder ever wanted was to meet someone who would sweep her off her feet like she had seen in countless romantic movies. When she meets the gorgeous and mysterious Constantin brothers her senior year of high school, she gets much more than what she had bargained for.
As they introduce her to an exciting supernatural world that she never knew existed, she makes a startling discovery about her own family legacy and is forced to make a decision that will change her life forever.
Because the end of
your senior is not enough to get through let’s add super powers, secrets about
her father’s death reviled oh…and the new hot guys is a vampire. Wilder by G.K.
De Rosa is not your typical teenage vampire story. Well…maybe there are some similarities
but I enjoyed following Celeste Wilder as she learned more about her true
nature and family secrets.
There is also her best friend/boy literally next
door since they were kids who thinks he is in love with her but the hot, just
moved into town guy is who fans the flame of her heart. And they both want her
and she wants hot vampire. Ok, yeah, we have seen some of this, but this
headstrong, female lead is also kicking butt and taking names on the people who
are trying to kill her and hurt her family and friends. She is not sitting on
the sidelines while the guys fight to protect her. Yay! The new powers? Premonitions,
her dead father comes and talks to her in her dreams, speed, cool weapons and
badass fighting skills. I was pulled in quickly and felt a part of the story
from page one.
Though there was some sexual tension this story fades to black
and she graduated high school. The momma in me liked that. A story that I would
share with my teen and her friends. In the midst of discovering all these new
additions to her life, secrets reveled, Celeste is discovering too the type of
person she wants to be. A very coming of age story amid the cool paranormal
story. Well worth the read at any age or momma/daughter book club.

As her Guardian skills continue to strengthen and tangle with the power of the Albsurori ring, new and old enemies emerge to conspire against her and the Constantin brothers alike.
G.K. De Rosa has been an avid reader from a very young age. In fact,
before she could even read, she tried fooling everyone into thinking that she
could. At the precocious age of two, while living in Italy, she had memorized
an entire children’s book in Italian and expertly turned the pages at the exact
right moments of the story. As she grew up, she always enjoyed literature, no
doubt having been instilled with a love of storytelling from her early years in
Catholic school where she was greatly influenced by exemplary teachers who
taught her the value of English and Literature. Though she did not pursue
writing in college and instead went for the more traditional route of
International Business inspired by her love for travel and all things foreign,
after a move to New York City, she found her creative writing side calling once
again.
She began writing a restaurant review blog, City Lights and
Tasty Bites, detailing her other passion – food! The hectic hustle and bustle
of the city, combined with long commuting times gave her the opportunity to
spend more time reading and rekindled a lost love. After reading countless
books in many diverse genres over the two years in New York City, and returning
to her home state of Florida, she felt compelled to write something for
herself. She had always felt particularly drawn to Young Adult novels and
having been an eternal romantic at heart, a fantasy romance was a natural
choice.
She currently lives in South Florida with her real life
Prince Charming and their fur baby, Nico the German shepherd
