Goodreads Summary:
Lust. Anger. Hate. Desire. Love. Happiness. Joy. iFeel. 

Liv Christianni is isolated, alone, tortured and withdrawn, saddled with the torrential downpour of the world’s emotions. Accepting of her providence Liv has lost all hope, until one day fate steps in and spins the course of her life like a spiraling top. Hunted by a Spirit Stalker, Liv is forced to gain control of herself and her surroundings, threatened by the touch of her immortal love; she must find a way to survive both physically and emotionally as her reality is shaken up like dice on a Craps table. Can she find the courage to accept her true self? Can she love unconditionally cognizant of the condemning consequences? Can she rise from the ashes to become the person she was always meant to be? 

Funny, witty, real, and poignant, iFeel rips into your soul, and sets your emotions on fire.

If you are a fan of Charmed or Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries or The Secret Circle this series is for you!


Thoughts:
I love the paranormal genre and I especially love how Marissa has taken it in her own direction with iFeel.  It's not your typical vampire romance or werewolf family. It takes paranormal in a whole new direction. Liv is an amazing character that you can't help but feel for the entire novel. It's almost eerie how much I can relate to this fictional character with supernatural powers. This novel held me captive from beginning to end and I can't wait for the next book in the series.


Rating: 5/5

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Singapore way back in 1970, and spent my formative years in Wales after my family moved there from Australia in 1976.  I’ve since resided in numerous places, including: Sussex, Kent and Poland. After school I did a BA in History at the University of Wales, Swansea; and later, a Masters’ degree in International Conflict Analysis at the University of Kent at Canterbury.  This has given me an educational background which I have, for the most part, managed to avoid capitalizing upon - so far.

I currently live in West Yorkshire with my wife, Joanne, and son, Joseph. I spend a few days a week teaching English in a local college. This is a career I have been doing for 12 years or so, and it was in doing a certificate in education in Huddersfield that brought me to the area in 2004.

My interests are fairly varied, and include reading pretty much anything. I particularly enjoy reading historical accounts and fiction with a magical angle.  My early influences include JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Roald Dahl, Raymond Feist and David Eddings. My later influences are far too eclectic to mention, but include George Orwell, James Herriot and Michel Foucault. I also enjoy gaming (especially First Person Shooters and RPGs) on PC and PS3.

As an author I usually write Fantasy or Urban Fantasy, quite often with a twist.  My first novel, The Chaosifier, mixes fantasy, adventure, humour and philosophy in a modern day setting. For various reasons it is unavailable at the moment, but I plan to re-publish a 2^nd edition in the not too distant future. My most recent work, the novella, The Spirit Archer, brings a different angle to one of the most famous characters in English legend. I have aimed these books at teens and young adults in particular – though older readers have told me they’ve enjoyed them greatly too. I enjoy working with GMTA, and really love the passion and enthusiasm they bring to the publishing process. 

SYNOPSIS "THE SPIRIT ARCHER"

Some secrets are meant to be shared; and a boy’s encounter with England’s most legendary archer will change his life forever. 

In 1237, a man journeys to a priory in Yorkshire to seek refuge and treatment for battle wounds.   He is betrayed and murdered. His final, dying act is to fire an arrow through a window, asking to be buried where it lands.

Nearly eight hundred years later, a schoolboy’s incredible discovery will lead to a friendship that will alter his life forever.

And he’ll hear some tales and secrets of England’s most legendary archer of all.
