Red Death: A YA Fantasy Adventure Kindle Edition

by Jeff Altabef (Author), Lane Diamond (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition

4.2 74 ratings

Book 1 of 3: Red Death

See all formats and editions

Unfairly branded as traitors, Aaliss and her rather odd, younger brother, Wilky, flee Eden and seek refuge in the one place she’d never expect—the land of the Soulless, a medieval world, filled with magic, witches, and where the Red Death plague affects all.

WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award—Best Science Fiction (Dystopian)

~~~

As a Guardian, Aaliss was trained to keep the Soulless away from Eden. Now she’s forced to turn to them for help. Hunted by those in Eden, she strikes a deal with a surprisingly charming prince—the cure for safe passage—but can she trust him?

Only Wilky knows how to make the cure and the king’s time is short, but can they survive the many challenges needed to gather the ingredients?

Aaliss yearns to return home to clear her name, but when her heart tugs her deeper into the world of the Soulless, she questions everything she once believed. Has her soul been taken? Will she and Wilky fall victim to the Red Death, or might they die sooner in the center of a battle that threatens to tear apart the Soulless world?

Or... might Aaliss finally find, against all odds, what her heart has yearned for all along?

Wow, what an adventure

Reviewed in Australia on 14 December 2016

*honestly and voluntarily reviewed the ARC I received from Novel Publicity*

OH MY GOD. I love this thing. I had my doubts that it wouldn't be a book for me because it started off slow and there was a lot going on, but soon after, things started coming together, and then I got excited, and by the time I finished, I was near devastated that I didn't have the second book in my kindle. What is this injustice??

Loved the writing style. This was a multiple POV read with a lot of different plots going on, but the way it was written, with the pacing and reveals at every chapter, helped me to follow along. I loved the worlds and the different kingdoms/tribes that had their own things, it all seemed very intense and real. Loved the witches. What else did I love... ah, yeah. The characters. Aaliss was a stubborn person but I loved the strength she had, and I'm a romantic, so of course her time with a certain prince made things even better for me.

Long story short: this book is full of plots and excitement. I urge you to check it out.

You could be blown away.

Reviewed in Australia on 25 June 2017

This is the first time I have read any of Jeff Altabef's books so now I have a new author's series to follow.
Wow! This is an epic saga with many layers woven into the story! I didn't know exactly what to expect, the twists and turns and injustice throughout held me spellbound.
Aaliss and her brother Wilky run to save their lives and leave Eden to escape danger because her brother found a cure for the Red Death. So the adventure begins.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Reviewed in Australia on 26 July 2017

This story is about Guardian Aaliss and her brothers Wilky and Peirs, they need to escape Eden because Wilky has made a discovery that could change everything. The eldest brother Peirs tries to make sense of everything when they are branded as traitors. Let's just say that believes will be bought into question and a war is brewing.
I received this book as a an arc read and I'm leaving my review voluntarily.
Would I recommend this book YES

A wild, twisty saga

Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2023

Verified Purchase

This book starts out fast and keeps up the pace, racing from one exciting adventure to the next as a young, talented warrior girl takes on all kinds of attackers, both human and animal, to protect her brilliant but quiet younger brother who has solved an important social/medical mystery. When they go on the run to escape punishment in a "modern Eden" by going into the Soulless hinterlands, the ride begins! From one adventure to the next, tension builds with each riveting battle, leading to several fights to the death to save the throne and the righteous heirs to it. Throw in some mild romance, some cast-out witches with paranormal powers, a few strange hungry creatures, and Red Death has it all. If you like fantasy novels, you will not be disappointed. This one moves!

A Great Read!

Reviewed in Canada on 26 November 2016

A very enjoyable tale. The start was slow, but built up to a great adventure. The characters are well developed with just enough detail. You keep turning pages wondering what will happen next. I'm looking forward to book two.

Painted with bold strokes

Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2019

Verified Purchase

The main elements of the story are present: characters with motivations, social divisions, religious tensions, those with tech and those with strange abilities, and a secret some are willing to commit murder for in order to keep secret. The story has good action/fight scenes. There are moments of dire tension. Several characters die. There is good imagery. There are hints of romantic tension, some bits of funny dialog, and some likable characters. The writing is mostly error-free. But, the subtle nuances are lacking. I can’t put my finger on exactly what’s missing other than to say the story seems almost formulaic and not organic.
Although some of the story elements seem forced, I forced myself to finish reading it. In spite of wanting to try reading something else, the plot was just interesting enough to keep me going to the end. The ending has a good moment and then is awkward. I had to reread the last sentence because it was poorly written. “Hunh?“ Is not the last impression a writer should leave in the reader’s head.

You are drawn into the book from the beginning!

Reviewed in the United States on 9 December 2016

This is the first time I have read this genre and I now have a new favorite series to follow. I didn't know exactly what to expect but the twists and turns and injustice throughout holds your interest. Aaliss must take her brother Wilky and run! They must save their lives and leave Eden to escape danger because her brother found a cure for the Red Death. But the High Priest of Eden doesn't want it to get out! So the adventure begins. This is the first book in the series and I will definitely follow this series since I am totally intrigued how some things left undone get resolved. The descriptions are incredible making the scenes visible in the minds eye. Can the kids get the cure out for the Red Death? This book is a fun must read!

A must read

Reviewed in the United States on 30 March 2018

I really enjoyed this book. When I first downloaded the Red Death I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but as I continued to read the story grew on me and I couldn't put it down. I recommend this as a must read.
