Lifeforce
Lifeforce’ is a young adult fantasy novel written by Annie Rodriguez that covers a lot of emotions dealing with 
family and friends and relationships of all kinds that affect them in many ways.
This is a story about a girl who happens to be a witch with friends and enemies that are vampires and werewolves and how they seem to be interrelated in different ways. The characters of Gillian, Addie, Dr. Wolfe, Eric, and Sean are the major characters that help Gillian to make a major decision that she needs to make for her ‘life’. Gillian is a witch in training, so to speak but she also misses her mother. Gillian learns many things from Addie her aunt that her mother wanted to care for Gillian when she needs help with various decisions that she needs to make. Addie is a vampire along with Eric and Sean and then there is Dr. Wolfe, a lycan (werewolf). Sean her boyfriend when Gillian was a teenager told her that they will always be a connection between them, but Gillian is not sure. Addie has to remind Gillian to think before she acts when using her powers which she needs to keep learning about. Gillian also needs to think about what is important and she becomes overwhelmed and her relationships are affected in many ways. Annie Rodriguez has written ayoung adult fantasy novel for young adults but adults may like it as well. She has written a story of short chapters that keep the story moving. She is a writer of a story that would make a good discussion on dealing with a family death that affects the kinds of relationships one may have in their life. Annie is a show-and-tell kind of writer; as I was reading, I could visualize the characters and the scenes as if I were watching a movie or television show. I read this book in one sitting because I wanted to know if Gillian would make the right decision for her. ‘Lifeforce‘ is a lifeforce and I cannot wait for a sequel if possible.
