Daniela Valenti is the pen name for a Canadian psychiatrist who writes Paranormal Fiction. That may seem incongruous, but it’s not really. The work in her chosen field and her writing dovetail nicely. She is able to draw upon her work as a psychiatrist to create multidimensional characters who are simultaneously powerful and vulnerable. Daniela lives in Montreal and holds a medical degree from McGill. She speaks French and regards herself a chatty introvert. Growing up, she was a voracious reader of sci-fi and fantasy. Her interests today include supernatural lore, skincare and fashion, gorgeous travel destinations, true crime, and learning about narcissism and psychopathy. She’s thought a lot about love and evil and maintains that narcissism is the true nature of all evil. Daniela has traveled extensively. Her love of the exotic dominates many of the settings where the characters in her stories romp and play their parts. Her prior attempts at writing began at age nine with a story about a doctor’s cat, and then a short sci-fi story at age twenty-three. Thirteen years
later, her foray into serious-minded writing simply happened. She began writing in 2017, after she returned from a trip to Prague for an international forensic psychiatry conference. What she learned there, combined with her impressions of Prague, her prior ruminations on the nature of love and evil, and her clinical knowledge all combined to create the first book in her series. It was a moment when all sorts of aspects of herself, her life experiences and her interests came
together, like a self-assembling puzzle. The story came to her like a movie, unfolding in her head as she sat on an airplane, staring at the screen-less back of the chair in front of her, for the eight-hour trip back to Canada. Once set in motion, the wheels of creation kept on turning, and resulted in the Sentinel 10 series.

My ReviewAmanda Griffith has just finished a heck of a day when she is struck by a solar flare on the way to her car. She is more intent on the vacation with her best friend Lydia in Panama. But she learns quickly that both women have just been transformed and special powers were activated by the solar flare.
The girls are put in a team with a leader with the goal to fight evil. But Amanda finds so much more with two guys interested in her. Both are tough to love but one has many other issues going with him. As Amanda learns how powerful she is and how to use her gifts, she also learns that not all of her powers are good and that there is more to being a sentinel than just killing the bad guys.
This was a really great start to a new series and a quick read. I like Amanda, she had a rough start and Lydia is a great friend. At the very least they have each other in the whole book. Then there is Alain Proctor, I felt sorry for him and what he went through but I also have to say that I really hoped that he would find his place in Amanda’s world.
If you like fantasy romances I think you will enjoy this book. It’s geared towards YA and those a touch older. This is the first book of Daniela’s that I have ready but I am excited to see where we go with the next book in the Sentinel series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
