Becoming: The Balance Bringer (A Coming of Age Fantasy / Epic Fantasy with Elemental Magic) (The Balance Bringer Chronicles Book 1) Kindle Edition
When my boyfriend is killed in a car accident I’m certain I somehow caused, a combination of grief and magic send me spiraling into another, far more dangerous realm. There, I find a fierce sister, a mysterious green-eyed boy, and a darkly seductive presence drawn to my blood.
As the line between my dream world and waking life blur, my time to get my strange, dangerous powers under control shrinks. But if I fail, more people will die, and fighting back with magic is my only hope to save this realm from grave danger.
Unfortunately, the darkness here is bent on my destruction, and my efforts to save those I love may destroy my world instead.
If you devoured the MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series, then you'll adore this award-winning, action-packed, romance-touched, coming-of-age adventure of love, sacrifice, and destiny.
Scroll up and One-Click Becoming: The Balance Bringer to plunge into the magic of this thrilling fantasy series that fans of Sarah J Maas, Holly Black, and Stephanie Garber are sure to love!

Now on her way "home" she fights all sorts of battles to get there all the while being stalked by Dohlan the other guy in her dreams. One who she knows is a danger but cannot fight the power he has over her. Hopefully when she gets home she can fulfill her destiny and not fall into his overwhelming power, after all this is his home also. Yikes! Poor Ana she has two dream guys but only one will win!
I love Debra Kristi's writing, she has exotic taste. Her writing has a life all it's own and doesn't form into the typical "love story" most fall into. I love the fast paced ride she always gives me.
I really liked Ana, her personality was meek and sweet with a slight edge of defiance. She was going to find out who she was at all cost because she
knew she was different just didn't know how so. The more she learns the more she grows and when all the pieces to the puzzle start falling into place, she slowly grabs ahold of her destiny and allows her friend Ry and her dream guy Jaden escort her home. With all the twisty and turvey obstacles she faces she learns a little more about herself. She starts Becoming into herself and it was fun to watch or read :)
I liked Ana and Jaden's budding relationship, it was sweet and he obviously cared about her. If only Dohlan would leave her alone and stop confusing her, he might have a chance. I hope so but so much was left unsaid and can't wait for the next book in the series.
Ana's journey is a mysterious one. After all, she's BECOMING something. What exactly? Not even she knows at first...
It kind of drives me crazy when I'm kept in the dark about things. So it was a little torturous to follow along with Ana...who happens to be, you guessed it, IN THE DARK about a lot of things. It kept me reading, that's for sure. Plus, Debra Kristi has a way with words. I actually dog-eared a few pages with beautifully written sentences.

The story revolves around the balance bringer coming into her own.... Becoming. Since turning eighteen Anala has been coming into her powers but she is totally oblivious to this as who she is meant to be has been kept from her her whole life, she just thinks she is going crazy.
Anala has a connection to Jaden yet has a compelling need for another, Dohlan (an incubus) both appear in her dreams. She suffers losses and faces many trials in order to return home...... Will she make it!
The characters each have their own strengths and weaknesses but compliment each other's needs. The story is fast paced with many different scenes that you can easily picture in your mind from how the author describes them.
An amazing read you will not regret picking up. My only disappointment is having to wait for the next book but I have already pre ordered it.
Happy reading!!
