Product Description

The Gifts: (Vol 1-The Gifts Trilogy)

Nine gifts were stolen from a mythical man with wings ages ago. Those nine gifts found themselves transferred into human eggs, delved out through in vitro fertilization. These newly made beings were born into the world unbeknownst to man. There are dark spirits searching for those gifts, ready to reclaim them from the humans who have been created to bear them...

When twenty-one year old Nahla Marks decides to start her junior year at Wake Forest University as an education major instead of continuing on the path to pre-med, everything seems to fall apart. Her world is turned upside down as this strange "thing" begins to manifest within her. Nahla fears she is losing it until she meets Gideon, the man with the silky smooth voice and chocolate brown hair, who seems to understand exactly what Nahla is going through.

Gideon knows the answers, but can Nahla trust him as her body begins to betray the fact that she may not be quite as human as she thought? Will Gideon be able to save Nahla from the dark spirits that are hunting them both?

Three months ago no one even knew her name, but now, bound by a curse and on the run, there was no one else she could trust…but him.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but overwritten 30 July 2011
By Erica Porter - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I downloaded the book for free. I found it entertaining and I finished it, but I felt it was overwritten and a bit bogged down. You can tell the author is really impressed with her writing abilities, and given a choice, would rather go for flowery than clear language.

That being said, it is obvious that the author has talent, and with some editing has real promise. Nahla's story was engaging and characters were well developed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing storytelling! 26 May 2011
By Christine M. Butler - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was immediately drawn into Nahla's story, from her unusual birth and upbringing to the secret she can't seem to keep hidden. Nahla's story, while superbly entertaining and engaging, was not the only one told. I was swept away by the back story of how the Gifts came to be and how they got to where they ended up. I absolutely love to read novels that have multiple layers, as this one does. The author did an amazing job pulling the stories together in a smooth, easy read that keeps you turning pages.

Aside from the story within a story there are the multi-dimensional characters. Even as certain characters discover more about themselves than meets the eye, the author also keeps them very human. Their hopes, dreams, concerns and fears all have that human edge to them that some authors tend to loose when they start giving out powers to their characters.

There are a few issues in the book that can be attributed to e-book formatting problems, however; Patria Dunn Rowe is such an amazing storyteller that they are easily overlooked. The tale she tells is simply too captivating to put down.

One final note, while I wouldn't call this book a YA novel, I will say that I wouldn't be opposed to my teenage daughter reading it. I think, this book in particular, is great for high school age and beyond.

I already have the second book in this series, Signs and Wonders. I can't wait to get started on it, because The Gifts will definitely leave you wanting more... more answers, more romance, and more Gifts!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Love/Hate Relationship with the Book 18 Sep 2011
By Granny Sage - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved the book. I hated the book. I loved the story line. It captured my imagination and I couldn't put it down. It could have been a great book if it wasn't for the many, many mispelled words. It was clear a spellcheck was done, because the words were actual words, but they didn't fit the definition. The word stint was used both for splint and stent. Other reviewers have noticed this as well.

I wanted to cry at the end because the author did not care enough about her story to make sure it was edited correctly. I can only hope that since it is an e-book, she will take it back and re-write it.
