It is you...' he murmured, coming closer. I was taken aback at the intensity in his face. He rested his wrinkled, but still very strong, hands on my bare shoulders. His gray eyes sought mine as if he expected me to recognize him. 'You really are a Daughter of the Wind, are you not?' Cautiously, I looked over at Gabriel, wondering if it was okay to admit the truth. He nodded as if to give me permission. My voice came out as a whisper. 'Yes.' High school senior Whitnee has spent six years rebuilding her identity after her father's mysterious disappearance left her with more questions than answers. With her two best friends, Morgan and Caleb, she returns as a mentor to the summer camp of her childhood. Nestled in the Texas hill country, Camp Fusion is everything Whitnee remembersa "except for the haunting visions that only she can see. One fateful night, Whitnee and her friends embark on a magical voyage where unexpected adventure and heart-stopping romance collidea "a journey that might unlock the dark, complicated mysteries of Whitnee's family history. But will she find the answers she is looking for? 'The imagery is vivid and the world Dallas has built is absolutely lush. For people looking for high fantasy mixed with teen angst and a lot of secrets, check out this book. I highly recommend.' Amber Vilate Young Adult Literature Review 'Phantom Island was extremely well-written.... There are only a few other novels where I wanted to actually be in their world. I was captured from the very first page.' Marta Morrison TeensReadToo.com"… (plus d'informations)

Switching it up a little bit with Windchaser, we have a book from an author unknown to me until now, about teens at a camp who stumble upon something more than a good vacation.

Check out my full review here!

I met Krissi at a summer librariqan's conference in Austin, Texas, when her first book was published. I'm into local authors, so I purchased it, read it and liked it. I introduced it to my high schoolers and they loved it also. over the years I've purchased quite a few copies and have most as autographed copies. i continue to recommend her books and follow her,

I met Krissi at a summer TLA event just as she was promoting this first book of her series. I was immediately intrigued and purchased autographed copies of each book as they were published. At the time I was a YA Librarian and had many students who loved to read and we're always waiting for my next find. Not only did I find the book an intriguing read, but so did my students. We went through several sets, including the audio version (also well done). I have now retired and had some health issues that slowed down my reading, but this is still a series I continue to remember fondly and recommend to others. Looking forward to more books by Krissi Dallas.

Digital download of audiobook has problems, Tate Publishing offered audio download when you purchased print, encountered problems with downloads. ( )

Really enjoyed reading this first book in a series. Had an opportunity to hear the author speak at Montgomery County Book Festival in Conroe, Texas. Ms Dallas is a wonderful voice in the YA Fantasy genre. She has three well developed characters in Whitnee, Morgan and Caleb who are mentors at a summer camp for troubled teens. Camp Fusion, a camp that helped them when they were younger and dealing with heartbreaking events in their young lives. Events lead Whitnee to be pulled into exploring a forbidden area in the hope of understanding strange dreams that she is having since arriving at the camp. Morgan and Caleb will not let Whitnee go on her own, then two campers insist on being allowed to tag along or they will tell. As they start off on their adventure they are pulled into another world one that causes more questions to be asked than answered. I have been pulled thoroughly into the story and can't wait to get the next book to see what happens next. If you like Madeleine L'Engle, C.S. Lewis you will enjoy the contemporary fantasy that Ms. Dallas has created. ( )

Windchaser by Krissi Dallas
The story was one that was unusual but had a familiar feel of sci/fi fantasy with the alternate world aspect. I enjoyed the world building of the island that most of the story took place on. I think the author did a wonderful job of describing and making the island real. The magical powers that pertain to the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water were fun to read about as well.
The writing style was fun but also kept well with the feel of the story. The book was very fast paced and I wasn’t able to put it down. I was able to follow along with ease.
The main character was a great character. Strong, determined and loyal. She did upset me at times with the tug of war with her best friend’s heart but not enough to drive me crazy with frustration.
The cover is really pretty, I love the colors and think it fits well with the story
Overall I really liked the book as a while, the story, the characters, and the world building. It was a great read.
I'd rate it a 4/5 ( )
