About the Book
Sophia Bennett is looking forward to celebrating her eighteenth birthday with her best friend Angie. After graduating high school and enjoying the last days of her summer vacation the most important things on her mind are getting ready for college and catching the eye of her high school crush Jake…at least, until the night of her birthday party.
Suddenly, Sophia is thrust into a world that she never knew existed and finds herself in the middle of an ancient struggle between good and evil. Time is against her as she and her new friends struggle to take possession of a powerful magic before it falls into the wrong hands.
Can Sophia solve the mystery of the Lilith links in time to save her loved ones, or will the enemy triumph and destroy all that she holds dear?
The Avalon Relics trilogy is a fast-paced read taking the reader into the magical world of fairies and of good versus evil. It blends references of mythology and tales of old in a very real way in that it takes place in two worlds simultaneously: the world that Sophia and her friends physically live in and the fairy realm.

My Review
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
Lilith Links, the first book in The Avalon Relics series, is a young adult fantasy about Sophia Bennett, whose ordinary life changes dramatically on her 18th birthday. The bracelets that her mother felt compelled to give to her as a gift on the morning of her birthday turn out to be one of three of the Avalon Relics, and someone evil wants them!
The story kept my interest throughout. Besides everything that Sophia learns about herself and the world of fairies, there’s action, danger, and a sweet, budding romance.
I liked how Lilith Links ended. It’s obvious that there’s going to be another book but it was at a good stopping point. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
About the Author
Dr. Jennifer Yen Clark, or J.L. Clark, began her writing career in the fourth grade, when her teacher took the detective story she wrote and turned it into a short printed book as a gift to her. The encouragement of her teacher, as well as her love for reading and telling stories, kept her writing about the worlds that existed in her imagination. In her young adult years, J.L. began writing short stories, poetry, and fan-fiction starring strong and intelligent girls and women. J.L. was recently inspired to write The Avalon Relics after being introduced to several young adult series that depicted weak heroines and unhealthy relationships. Recalling her own young adult reading experience and the dearth of relatable heroines, she set out to create a series of books that would not only engage and entertain, but offer a refreshing and empowering take on fictional heroines.
J.L. Clark resides in Houston, Texas with her family. She splits her time between academia and private practice, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. She is an assistant professor of psychiatry at UT Health Medical School, and a clinical assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine. Outside of work, she is continually contributing to her body of work, posting short stories and fan-fiction on social media outlets for enjoyment.
Her latest book is the YA fantasy, The Avalon Relics: Lilith Links.
