Advance Praise:
- I think this book will appeal
greatly to fans of the Selection. - the dressmaker D'fwan reminded me of
America's maids … The whole TV reality show aspect also reminded me of Hunger
Game as well as The Selection.
- I Really Loved The Book
I am so looking forward to book two. I love the world you’ve created and I want to explore it more. I thoroughly enjoyed Friday and her story.
- I Really, Really Enjoyed This Book!
The way that Ashley and Friday’s relationship progressed was amazing. Too often, in books the two main love interests relationships progress way too quickly and it was refreshing to see Ashley and Friday’s relationship develop gradually instead of it being super rushed.
- I Would Give This Book a Full 5/5 Stars!
Like there was just so much to this book and none of the characters are like what you originally predicted. Every chapter keeps adding to the story and making it more and more complex, and it leaves you on the edge of your seat in suspense.

Excerpt:
I ran as fast as I
could until I heard the little girl cry. “Mrs
Mine!”
I froze, and looked
back. “Who’s Mrs Mine,” I asked.
“My bunny,” the little girl replied. As a small child I had a stuffed bear and
stupid as it was, I knew how she felt. That bunny was a member of the family. I
dropped the little girl and pushed her forward.
“Run!” I yelled. “I’ll get your bunny.”
Lisa scooped up the
girl and reached out to drag me back but she was too slow.
“Fitz!” Lisa screamed as I ran back towards the car, blocking
out every sound, not letting myself think. I dropped to the floor and grabbed
the toy like it was a baton in a relay race with no seconds to spare. I could
hear each drop of fuel hit the road like the pounding of my pulse. Something
blurry in the sky was speeding towards us and Lisa made a run for me again.
Just as my fingers whispered across hers a voice boomed from above.
“Get down!” A man in a super
skeleton suit flew down from the sky and wrapped himself round the two of us,
deploying a shield from his back. It wasn’t a moment too
soon. The car erupted in an awesome display of fire and the crowd oohed and
awed at the spectacle as though they were watching New Year’s fireworks. I opened my eyes to the masked,
super-suited figure above me.
“Partner Kisaragi, it’s good to finally meet you.” Lisa turned away from his face, only inches from hers,
and mumbled something under her breath that might have been “show off”.
About the Author
Hi! I’m Mina Chara, I’m a student, an artist,
a daughter, sister and companion to my two furry friends, Gimli and Gwynne.
This blog is here because I’ve just written a book called Hero
High: Figure In The Flames.
This is My Story:
Being dyslexic isn’t so much of a problem, the
hard part is not letting it dictate what I like, and what I can do. For years I
was scared of reading, but then I discovered YA fiction, real books with main
characters I could relate to because most of them were girls.
When someone criticizes my writing, I feel
like crying, because I feel like that I’m back in English class getting yelled
at again, just wanting to go home, but I’m not a kid anymore, I’m an adult, and
as an adult, I wrote a book, and you can too.
