Raytara – Judgement of the Stars

Praise for Arash Vol.1 Shadow Hunt

“What a change to the norm...this book is original and does not include the usual vampire or werewolves, which is a breath of fresh air!”
R.J.Wilson

“This was a highly addictive story that took me into a brand new world of immortals called the Arash. Once I hit the halfway mark, I couldn't put the book down! I'm eager to see where this story goes in the next books.”
Carrie Williams

“Definitely a fantasy with enough romance to satisfy my taste. The story revolves around a group of Arash, which consider themselves family, who are considering bringing a new candidate into their close group. They're not quite human, but close enough to make them understandable and sympathetic characters. At this point they don't seem to be blood-thirsty creatures that pose a constant threat to humans, and I thank the author for that. Certainly something with a fresh concept for the fantasy genre.”
Lynda Coker

“I love fantasy books especially those with a romantic element. Of course the genre is swamped with vampires and shape-shifters so something new is always a treat. Elke gives us the Arash, beings who begin as humans and become Arash through careful selection - no bloodsucking and biting involved! I really love the concept, it’s fresh and unusual, something different in the well worn fantasy genre. Elke’s people are so well drawn they feel real and I immediately felt that I was among them and understood them as real character. I simply loved this book and devoured it in one long sitting. Roll on book two- please.”
Jeannie Zelos

“I really enjoyed this book. The characters are all real people with their own quirks and personalities. They just live partly in our world and partly in another one which intersects with ours.
Right to the last there are lots of unexpected twists and turns to the plot that keep up the suspense. I thought I knew what was going to happen, but things went in a totally different direction!”
H.J. Leyton

“Once I got settled in to the flow I was completely hooked!
I really enjoyed reading Arash, and I am eagerly waiting for the next installment in the series. I can't wait to see what happens next.”
The Reading Cow

“I want to be an Arash!! There are many books out there now that have vampires, wolves, angles, and other supernatural creatures, that this book looked to have a refreshing view. It's full of adventure, some romance, and mystery. A must read if you are into supernatural beings!”
Holly

“To say this is one of the most unusual paranormal/science fictions books I have ever read would be an understatement. I felt like I knew the characters in person and wanted to be friends with them, as they were just so real. The author has told a completely different story unlike anything out there. If you love paranormal books, this book is definitely the one to read! If I could rate it 10 out of 5 stars, I definitely would but I can't so I rated it 5 well deserved stars.”
