Rating: 4/5 Stars
Review: I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

I really felt like Lavinia Urban has a new idea going with this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love how I could actually hear the characters UK "accents" as I read. A few words did make me have to stop an think what the term meant, but I found this to be an interesting part of the book. I did find the book to be a bit short, but it did cover a lot of ground in such few pages. The author has given herself a lot of growing room for the next books. I found Erin the Fire Goddess: The Beginning to be a fun, cute and fast read.

At the beginning of the novel I felt bad for Erin because she was so self conscious of her birthmark and because all that kids were jerks too her. But now that she has met Sean and has an understating as to why she has the birthmark I think her perception of herself will change drastically. Surprisingly, I actually really liked Erin's sister Kasey Ray. At first I thought she would be some spoiled brat who was mean to Erin but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not too sure about Sean yet, I feel like we just met him and its too soon to make assumptions about him. 

All in all this was an enjoyable read and I am looking forward to containing on with the series. I have some questions that I need answered. Paranormal and YA lovers should read this book. You won't be disappointed.

About this author

I was originally grew up in Winsford, Cheshire and moved to Edinburgh in 2000.

I am now married with 2 daughters and live just outside of Edinburgh.

Writing has always been something that I have loved and I have been writing since an early age.

It wasnt until 2010 when the idea came to me to write Erin the fire goddess. It is a series of books, the first called the beginning which is now available on Amazon.

I decided to use the name of the main character and her sister as my two daughters, who inspire me to write every day.
