The Very Real World of Emily Adams

★ 2020 Best Indie Book Award® Urban Fantasy Winner★ 2021 National Indie Excellence Awards® New Fiction Finalist★ 2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards® Fantasy Winner"This story begins with the titular character standing on a roof top, contemplating suicide. Thankfully for lovers of off-kilter urban fantasy, she is saved by a man in a black cocktail dress who takes her on a journey to save the world and herself. The Very Real World of Emily Adams is as much an extended love letter to the 1990s as it is a fantastic adventure, bursting with pop culture and music references, solidified by the author's use of CD-inspired 'Tracks' instead of chapters. Rose makes the bold decision to alternate between first- and third-person narration with these tracks. In the hands of a less-talented author this might not work, but via her skilled pen this unusual structure creates a deep, nuanced and satisfying journey." -John L. Rak, Jr., Next Generation Indie Book Awards Judge"Be a rebel. In a world of darkness, become light."Emily Adams has lost everything. Injured from a fight with her now officially-ex-boyfriend, she's fled to an unfamiliar city with nothing but the change in her pocket and a broken relationship with her father. As hope slips away, she seeks to put a permanent end to her pain...Until an enchanting encounter with a magic man in a dress changes everything.Given a new chance at life, Emily embarks on a journey with her new BFF, a mysterious clairvoyant, and a band of musicians to stop the monsters that threaten the world. And she may uncover something even more impossible-if she can let go of the past and believe in herself enough to embrace it.★★★★★ "The Very Real World of Emily Adams is a rich modern tale with dark suspense and redemptive love. It is the perfect balance of mysterious and inspiring and the kind of story that draws you in and won't let go until every last word is consumed." -Kaci Morgan, author of Queen Immortal
