I'm looking for a beta/crit partner for a 70k word YA dark/urban fantasy called THE PRELIATOR.
I'm very willing to return the favor if you write YA dark/urban fantasy, too.
If you'd like to check out a sample of my project you can read a snippet on my website: http://www.courtneyallisonmoulton.com
Here's the pitch I'm finagling with for the moment. I'm working on a better/more precise one at the moment
If only Ellie Monroe was just seeing dead people. Instead, she sees Reapers: massive, vicious creatures that feast on human flesh and blood. As if that wasn't enough, she is also the Preliator, the only one in the world with the power to destroy them.
Before the night of her sixteenth birthday, Ellie was a somewhat normal girl. She only had to worry about boys, parties, shopping sprees at Saks, and surviving high school in an upper-class Detroit suburb. When she is first attacked by a Reaper, the mysterious Will shows up, reveals himself as her immortal Guardian, and reawakens the powers within her. He helps her remember just who and what she is: an ageless soul bound in human form, reborn again and again, to protect the world against the ravenous Reapers. Only this time, it’s been sixty-three years since the Preliator was last alive, and there have been a few changes to the rules.
As Ellie tries to understand her new powers and uncover the secrets she’s determined Will is hiding, a powerful Reaper called Askel has risen and caught Ellie’s scent, and now he has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her—an assassin who has already killed her once. Will and Ellie discover that Askel is searching for something he calls the Messiah, a being believed to be a true Soul Reaper, and it becomes a race against the Reapers to find the Messiah first and destroy it. Now, Ellie will have to take up her swords and fight with only her Guardian to protect and guide her. They must face Askel and prevent the Messiah from awakening and plunging the world into chaos.
