I’m free. Fucking free!
I’m in college with my best friends and far, far from home!
With my Scheuermann’s disease as the excuse, my father kept me locked up at
home all through high school. Here in Deepsilver, I can finally be me,
Pandora, so—
Why the hell should I hold back?
They accept our fake IDs at Smother, our local haunt. I’m the life of the
party, everyone loves me—hell, I could get away with murder in this place!
Drunk off my ass, I dance on the bar, and—
I’m on top of the world!
I need to get my shit together, though. If I don’t pull off good grades, my
father won’t pay my tuition. There’s no way I’m moving back into his
“fortress.”
At the bar, I set my eyes on a gorgeous stranger. My plans don’t involve him
long term; one night should be enough. But Dominic is more than I bargained
for. God, I’m so drawn to this man. My skin hums at his touch because—
He expels the shadows of my past and replaces my pain with desire.
Perfect Dominic. Beautiful, graduating, soon-to-move-on-with-his-life
Dominic.
I’m a wild child. A hot mess. Not grownup and focused like him. He’s
addictive, and I am weak, but—screw this; I can wean myself off him! With
the right antidote—
Addictions can be broken.
Pandora Wild Child by Sunniva Dee was an excellent read in my
book, coming in at 4 Wild Child stars!! It is written in a dual point of
views of Pandora and Dominic and also added snippets from Leon's point
of view thrown in here and there. I was in a bit of a book slump before I
started Pandora Wild Child and this one definitely got me out of it because I started it yesterday and finished today!
"My life's a mess, and I love it, fear it, hate it." - Pandora
Pandora
Cancemi is as the book title says a "wild child". She, along with a
bunch of her closest friends move away to attend college. They are
living in a place that her father bought for them and the rules are that
she gets passing grades or he will sell it and she will have to move
back home. Pandora was diagnosed with ADHD when she was younger and she
also suffers from Scheuermann's, which is a debilitating disease that
causes unnatural curvature of the spine. She needs to see a
physiotherapist on a regular basis and this is where she meets Dominic.
"Deep
in my chest it's there, premonition style; this-she-has the power to
destroy me. Pandora. She's a wild child, and yet I want to be around
her. Make her smile. Moan."-Dominic
Dominic
Davide is currently going to college for physiotherapy and working at
Elysium Spa until he gets his degree. The owner, Geraldine and Dominic
have a little agreement that might just cause problems down the road.
His seventy-four year old grandmother is on the verge of being put into a
nursing home by his uncle. This comes as a big concern and he needs to
go home and find out what is really going on. While he is gone Leon
steps in. Pandora may just change her wild ways or dig herself in
deeper.
"Now how much prettier would you look tied to my bedpost?"-Leon
I write New Adult fiction with a paranormal twist and don’t
shy away from romance and heart-wrenching passion when necessary.
I moved from Norway to the United States in 2001, and the first awesome five years I spent in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles. Then I read “The Book,” aka Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which spurred my husband and me to move cross country to beautiful Savannah, Georgia.
I’m currently on my seventh year in the Deep South, where I enjoy the heat and the humidity. Besides writing, I spend my time with our “petting zoo” as in an opinionated parrot, a herd of cats that are experts on keyboard shortcuts, and puppies that…uh, bark.
I hold a Master’s degree in languages, with concentrations within literature and linguistics. I taught at college level for a decade before settling in as a graduate adviser at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Writing is my passion, my joy, and my addiction. When I’m not writing, I read.
Shattering Halos is my debut novel, and its standalone sequel, Stargazer, is due out later this year.
