Sentinel
Hooks' debut novel, coming soon!
Nineteen-year-old psychic Anna Grace’s life takes an unexpected turn when a fateful accident sends her car careening off an icy road in the Colorado mountains. Suddenly, the auras she had always perceived as a form of synesthesia reveal a deeper truth — one that thrusts her into a world of intrigue, danger, and Elliot — a handsome soldier in an immortal war.
Anna learns the truth that has been hidden from her since childhood: her ability to perceive auras marks her as a Sentinel, an ancient line of fighters defending the world from monsters hiding in plain sight. As she struggles to find her place in this new world of violence and magic, she finds herself inexorably drawn to Elliot despite the danger that surrounds them both. As threats loom in every direction, Anna must decide exactly what she stands for as her life, her love, and maybe even the fate of humanity hang in the balance.
SENTINEL is perfect for fans of atmospheric fantasy and adventurous romance. Featuring a snarky, reluctant heroine and a star-crossed love story that will captivate devotees of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, Warrior Nun, and Twilight alike, SENTINEL is for everyone who ever wished The Mortal Instruments had an adult counterpart.

Review:
"EMMA HOOKS, who also quite wonderfully directed this production, is our adapter and one must wonder, if one is familiar with this classic tragedy, how indeed difficult this must have been to monitor-- keep actors involved and stay true to one's take on the text and keep in mind the medium in which the group is playing and the home audience: like balancing and juggling broken glass! BUT, Ms. HOOKS accomplishes all of this with remarkable aplomb." - Stage, TV, And Cinema Art & Artists
