ALMANA by Julayn Adams is a lovely story set within a YA dystopian novel. Almana, nicknamed Ali, is an angel sent on a dangerous mission to help a girl named Alexa realize her full potential. Along the way she is adopted into Alexa's family and fall's for her brother. The love story is quite beautiful as is the prose that the author employs.
Alexa comes from strong stock. Her father, Doc, runs the settlement camp in the dystopian society where most of the characters live. He handles all conflicts and challenges with justice. It is not surprising to learn that Alexa is slated to be a savior of the society.
The story delves into many matters including love, jealousy, cliques, gossip, good vs. evil and the afterlife. It was an interesting read from start to finish. I cannot wait to read the next installment in the series which I understand is to be titled, VISION.
Many thanks to the Julayn Adams, the publisher and NetGalley for providing an advance digital copy of this book for my honest, unbiased review. It will be published in February 15, 2016.
