From Rebecca:
Introducing ARROWHEART book one of The Love Curse series. A series that started right here on Wattpad!
I started writing this book on Wattpad at the end of 2011(I think, it was so long ago). Anyways it's ranked ever since and I got so many lovely comments and reads, and eventually in 2016 I decided to reread it to see why people liked it. I feel back in love with the heart of the story, but my writing had improved so much since 2011 I wanted to give it it's best shot, so I torn everything apart and rewrote it, queried it to literary agents later that year, signed with my agent and went out on publisher submission and got an offer the end of 2016! The first of the series comes out June 14th, 2018. I'm so shocked this is my story, I really struggled with English in high school (I mean it was my favorite subject and I always loved writing, but my spelling and grammar supercalifragilisticexpialidociousLY sucked). I've come a long way as a writer and I owe so much of that to Wattpad – it was a safe place for me to learn and to get feedback and to grow. I'm really proud of Arrowheart and I hope my readers will be too! Here's what it's about:
The gods are gone.
The people have forgotten them.
But sixteen-year-old Rachel Patel can't forget - the gods control her life, or more specifically, her love life.
Being a Hedoness, one of a strong group of women descended from Greek God Eros, makes true love impossible for Rachel. She wields the power of that magical golden arrow, and with it, the promise to take the will of any boy she kisses. But the last thing Rachel wants is to force someone to love her . . .
When seventeen-year-old Benjamin Blake's disappearance links back to the Hedonesses, Rachel's world collides with his, and her biggest fear becomes a terrifying reality. She's falling for him - a messy, magnetic, arrow-over-feet type of fall.
Rachel distances herself, struggling to resist the growing attraction, but when he gives up his dream of being a police officer to help her evade arrest, distance becomes an insurmountable task. With the police hot on their trail, Rachel soon realizes there are darker forces hunting them - a group of mortals recruited by the gods who will stop at nothing to preserve the power of the Hedonesses - not to mention Eros himself, who is desperate to reverse the curse . . .
Sneak Peek of Chapter One (the whole chapter is available to read on my Wattpad profile!)
Boys were disappearing. Sometimes weeks passed before they turned up dazed and confused wandering in the park, down the street, on the rooftops of tall buildings. When asked about it, they had no clue how they got there, where they had been, and what happened while they were gone. Sometimes, if they thought hard enough, they'd have vague memories of a girl. But I know what happened. I know the girl.
Thanks for having me and taking the time to read my story. Come say hi on Wattpad: RebeccaSky
