Breath of Darkness
By Jennifer Tanis 

     It’s good versus evil and the dark opposing light in the modern day bewitching narrative Breath of Darkness by Jennifer Tanis. With an original development of characters, Tanis has invented a story that magnifies the enticing lure to illusion, and our innate struggle with choice.

     Eighteen-year-old Erin Bray appears to be an ordinary teenager participating in the ordinary teenage life, until a sudden car accident alters her permanently. After surviving a nine-day coma, much to her alarm, Erin begins to notice strange occurrences, as her latent telepathic powers awaken. As an esoteric world begins to unfold, representatives of both the dark and divine are sent to find her, each side in pursuit of her capacities for their own survival. Disguised as peers, they both confront her, one authentic, the other a wicked betrayer. Unsure whom to trust, Erin succumbs to the ultimate deception, transforming herself into a shocking version of her previous self.

     Breath of Darkness is an imaginative and eventful ride, yet symbolizes a truthful message for today’s youth. With suspenseful and unforeseen turns, Tanis leaves you dangling in the midst of uncertainty, with an unanticipated outcome.
