5/5 Stars Excellent book! Highly recommend!!
I loved this book. It was well written and was full of twists and turns. The characters and the story were well developed. I loved the individual characters and their personalities. The story was full of emotion, twists and turns, suspense, action and intrigue. I would highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book in the series!! I received an arc for a voluntary review.

5/5 Stars Can't wait for book two!!
I love this book. The author brings her own twist on shifters. It has suspence, intrigue and action. I like the world she builds up and the people in it. There are some predictable moments with a few twist and turns. The book is slightly more different to other shifter books that I have read, which is a good thing because it got my curiousity up. I wanted to know more about the world the characters lived in and their history.
I would highly recommend it. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

5/5 Stars If you love magic then you'll enjoy Luminata
Luminata is a great fantasy adventure for young adults and those of us who are young at heart. Yvonne Carder writes rounded characters brought together to save Jessica, the main character's home, family, and neighbours from a magical curse. There are many twists and turns in the story as well as a number of obstacles the characters must overcome during their expedition into the unknown. If you love magic and a different type of shifter, then you'll enjoy Luminata.

Today's the big day!

Luminata is finally out in the world. I am so incredibly appreciative of everyone's support as I wrote down the story that rattled around my brain for over a decade, and learned how to self publish a book.

But honestly, this has not been a lonely endeavor at all. So many of you helped me along the way and I am humbled by the support of this wonderful community I have found myself in. Thank you. I don't know if I can say it enough.

Self Publishing is a misnomer. I am an Indie Publisher. I had a team helping me along the way and you are the reason Luminata is not a horrible disaster. I credit each of you for the innumerable ways you've supported me, given me words of wisdom, pointed me in better directions, and been my sounding board. Thank you, each and every one of you. I am incredibly blessed and fortunate.

To my Kickstarter patrons, this book wouldn't be here today without you.

To Team Luminata: you guys are awesome. Thank you for your feedback and support.

To the incredible professionals that worked on this book with me:

Susan from West of Mars for your amazing skills at editing, You made this book way better than when I first sent it to you and I know I can still learn tons from you.
Agata from Studio Bukovero for producing an amazing piece of art for Luminata's cover.
Alex from Alex Tebow Designs for creating an amazing map to orient my characters in their world.
Claudette from The Editing Sweetheart for last minute copy editing.

To the countless professional writers I've come into contact this last year and a half. It's been a wild ride down the rabbit hole, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I've learned so much, and I know there's so much more that I still need to learn. A rising tide lifts all ships.

Now, enough of the thank you speech. Let's party!
