VBT# Get Real - Tellulah Darling



Get Real (Get Real #1)

Review: Get Real - Book #1 Get Real Series - Tellulah Darling - September 2015

Judging from the cover, you wouldn't think that this book featured paranormal and supernatural abilities as it looks from the cover as another New Adult Venice Beach/ California Girl contemporary romance novel. As I started reading it though, I was in for a surprise as we learn that the main characters are part of an Italian magical bloodlines and each one has a faction that they belong in - e.g Bruisers - have strength and are quick, Healers. When the teens reach the age of 18 and enter into adulthood , they are placed into their jobs which is determined by their powers. Frankie aka Fransesca is a Healer and should be heading towards that as a career and life choice, following in her family's footsteps but she wants to become a paranormal detective chasing down the bad guys and magical being anomalies.  As the book got on, I did understand how the author went the supernatural way as I had read previously her teen series My Ex from Hell, which was a fun Underworld/Earth series. Frankie meets Rafael and like her he is hiding a secret from his family as none of them really want to follow in their parent's footsteps. What will happen though when no matter how hard they try to stay away from each other, the chemistry pulls them in as they battle their way through demons, minions and family members.
Though this book is set in America , due to the characters being Italian - the book does have a strong italian feel and overview to it including language and the whole extended family importance and traditions.
 If you are looking for a NA Supernatural/Paranormal read set in the heart of California with Italian Views - then check out Tellulah Darling's first book "Get Real".
