Thoeba by Donna Milward review & giveaway ~ '

Grief and suffering invaded the tranquility of the Heavens.
The Energy and it's creations learned to fight and defend.
And to bury their dead.

Thoeba is a creature of light. As all things must be in balance, when the Energy created her kind it also created the darkness.
Theoba’s world fell to darkness forcing her to flee. She came to Earth to protect the Energy, losing everything in the process.
Darkness has found a way to follow her and threatens to take this world as well.
With only humans as allies, can she succeed?

My Review: Fasten your seatbelts please, it's going to be a bumpy ride! This book hit the ground running, or the water, I should say. Thoeba is an Angel, A Warrior that has fled her home to protect "the energy", as the Demons (darkness) destroyed it and most of her kind. Peter, a human, is out on the lake for a nice quiet day of fishing until something (or someone) falls from the sky and crash lands in the water. All this takes place in the first chapter!

I LOVED this refreshingly, unique new twist on Angels and God, it is unlike anything else.
Thoeba flee's the heaven's to save The Energy only to wind up on Earth without her wings; she has always loathed humans believing that the way they live and squander what God has given them makes them week and unnecessary, to a fault. Darkness has followed her to this realm and will not stop until it has destroyed everything in it's path; humans, Thoeba and The Energy included. Thoeba must trust her newly found foe's, the humans she so dislikes quickly become her allies and most trusted adversaries.

She sets out on her journey to save not only The Energy but the humans she has come to love and mankind in it's entirety. Having lost her sword (her "Holy Weapon") she fashions herself a new one by attaching The Energy to an Axe. I could just vision this Blonde haired, gold eyed, wingless, Warrior woman wielding the Axe and slicing random demons in half! It was Fantastic!! Milward has given us a literary Gem here; her take on Angels and God is like nothing I've ever read! Again, we have ourselves a strong leading lady, probably one of the strongest I've ever seen on paper. Milward adds to her strength and likeability as a character by giving her weakness that she must overcome as well, making her story that much more intense.

I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about this book, Fantastic, Exciting, Entertaining, Page Turning, Addicting Read!! The perfect balance of Drama, Suspense, Intrigue and Mystery (with a dash of Romance and Some Serious Ass Kicking!) Our Warrior Angel must learn to trust herself, her God and her humans if anyone is to survive.

About the Author: Donna Milward lives in Edmonton, Alberta in a tiny house with a huge yard. She’s been writing all her life, but decided to put writing on hold to get ‘a real job’ as a meatcutter and build a future with her beloved troll, Dan and her cat Freya.
Twelve years later, an invitation to a Romance Writer’s Conference in Washington D.C. led not only to new friends and new knowledge, but to the inspiration to write again. Thoeba was completed the following year.
Donna likes to mix her fascination with reincarnation and all things paranormal with her love of mythology in her work, and has even written her own myth ‘The Sacred Truth” (on earthtothoeba.blogspot.com) as the lore behind Thoeba and future novels to come.
Donna enjoys fishing, gardening and canning. Despite these hobbies, she much prefers city life.
