Jessica Therrien is the author of the young adult paranormal fiction series, Children of the Gods. Book One in the series, Oppression, was published by ZOVA Books in February of 2012. When we talked about her blog tour visit here, I asked her if she would put together a playlist of music that inspired her while writing her book. So, read about the book, prizes, and check out her very cool widget with the buy buttons!

First, a quick note from Jessica: Over the next 15 days I'll be collecting comments from all of the blog tour stops. At the end, I'll pull one lucky winner out of a hat. They'll win an Oppression poster, an Oppression notebook, and a signed copy of Oppression. Thanks in advance to everyone who checks out the blog tour posts, and thanks to all of the bloggers who were nice enough to invite me over to their blogs.Throughout the tour I'll also be doing a promotion for the $.99 Oppression e-book. If you purchase it for Kindle or NOOK, enter here to win a signed copy of Oppression.

Oppression
Elyse knows what it means to keep a secret. She's been keeping secrets her whole life. Two, actually. First, that she ages five times slower than the average person, so that while she looks eighteen years old, she's closer to eighty. Second, that her blood has a mysterious power to heal. 

For Elyse, these things don't make her special. They make life dangerous. After the death of her parents, she's been careful to keep her secret as closely guarded as possible. Now, only one other person in the world knows about her age and ability. 

Or so she thinks. 

Elyse is not the only one keeping secrets. There are others like her all over the world, descendants of the very people the Greeks considered gods. She is one of them, and they have been waiting for her.

Among so many of her kind, she should not be very remarkable--except for the prophecy. Some believe she will put an end to centuries of traditions, safeguarded by violence, which have oppressed her people for centuries. Others are determined to keep her from doing just that. But for Elyse, the game is just beginning--and she's not entirely willing to play by their rules.
