SUMMARY
Kaila Guidry has always known she is different. When she
meets Jordyn Stryker at school, she finds out just how different.
Jordyn was born and raised far from Earth, a starseed, one
of six new students sent to Louisiana's Bush High to learn human ways. But
Jordyn didn't count on meeting someone like Kaila.
When Kaila is pushed to her limit by high school bullying
and cruelty, Jordyn awakens her to a new reality—and to love. But to prove
herself, Kaila must look the other way as the real purposes of the starseeds
unfold.
As the horrific plan behind the starseed visit to Earth
moves inexorably forward, Kaila and Jordan, caught in an impossible love, must
determine where their true loyalties lie.
Praise
"You know from the opening paragraph that something
very strange is going on… We see Kaila try to live the life of a normal teen,
and we see her "otherness" pull her back into an increasingly tangled
web of questions, deceit, and hidden intentions. Liz really shines as a writer,
lining the closets and drawers of everyday life with spine-chilling suspense
that springs out at you when you least expect it. Starseed is an entertaining
read. I highly recommend."
--Patricia B. Smith. Author “What the Animals Tell Me” and
“Fifty Shades of Santa” (clean romance fiction)
"Liz Gruder’s characters come alive through youthful,
spunky narrative, and her headstrong heroine, Kaila Guidry, elicits a reader’s
encouragement from the first page. Fans of Amanda Hocking will find themselves
similarly transported into Gruder’s exploration of the dark sides of faith,
love, higher dimensions, and, of course, high school." --Jadie Jones,
young-adult fantasy author
Purchase
Author Liz Gruder
As a youth, Liz Gruder saw a series of UFOs with her best
friend while riding bikes. Ever since, she’s held a fascination for the stars.
An avid reader, she used to hide under her covers and read with a flashlight.
She has degrees in English and Psychology from Tulane University, a nursing
license and a yoga certification. After going through Hurricane Katrina in New
Orleans, Liz realized how short life is and is now slowly fulfilling her bucket
list: she’s been to the Egyptian pyramids (totally awesome and thought
provoking) and is now teaching yoga and writing speculative fiction. Starseed
is her debut novel.
