Synopsis:
Seventeen is a life changing age for Emma Wise.
As her family's sole survivor in a car crash, she is left with a broken arm and a few scrapes and bruises. But these are only outward marks; inside, her heart is broken and the pieces scattered.
Whisked away to Alaska, to an aunt she’s never met, Emma starts over. Secrets unveil themselves and now…she doesn't even know who or what she is.
A centuries old prophecy places Emma in the heart of danger. Creatures of horrifying and evil proportions are after her, and it will take Emma, her aunt, and six, gorgeously captivating Guardians to keep her safe. But, if she can survive until her eighteenth birthday... things will change.

Review:
First off, let me say this: I am so excited to be a part of this blog tour! Hidden Wings by Cameo Renae caught my attention from the moment I saw the cover, and once I got my hands on it I couldn’t put it down, devouring the entire book in one night!
Cameo takes you on a journey to places you never thought to go before! The characters were engaging, I really felt like I connected to them. Their highs and lows were my highs and lows, which when reading, I love it when I can connect with the characters. Emma suffers through so much in such a short time, but the tragedy she endures does not prepare her for the multitude of changes and the journey she is about to make. And when you find out what she is, you will be blown away. I know I was!
Cameo brings you a fresh take on the age-old good versus evil. The plot is unbelievable and the pace set will have you racing for the finish. I cannot wait to see where she plans on taking Emma’s story from the point where Hidden Wings stops. It looks like I will be strapping myself in for a wild and crazy ride, but believe when I say, it is so worth it!
Check out Hidden Wings today! This is one book you really don’t want to miss out on!
Excerpt:
“Thanks guys. I’m gonna miss you SO much,” I said, as tears stung my eyes again.
“We’re going to miss you too! What are we going to do without you our last, crucial year? We’re finally going to be seniors,” Lia said, her eyes tearing as soon as she saw mine.
Jeremy looked at me, and a single tear grazed his cheek. He quickly turned away and lifted his glasses, quickly wiping his face with his shirt. That was the first time I’d ever seen Jeremy get emotional.
“You guys will be fine. And it won’t be forever. I promise to email and send pictures.”
“You better,” Lia said, wagging her finger at me.
And then… something happened. A sudden euphoric feeling; an unexplainable heat shot through every cell in my body. My pulse quickened, along with my breath, and tingles pricked my skin. A
rush of adrenaline flooded my veins and my surroundings began to haze. I grasped onto the edge of the bed, taking in long, deep breaths.
“Hey, are you okay?” Jeremy asked, scooting over to me, grabbing hold of my shoulders.
“Emma, what’s wrong?” Lia called, jumping behind me, pounding my back.
Hello! I’m not choking! I wanted to speak those words, but I couldn’t answer them. It was like all the breath had been sucked out of my lungs.
Then…there was a knock at the door, and we all turned to look.
