Sea of Blood (Book 1)
Aradia is meant to be a healer, so she spent her childhood molding herself into someone worthy. And despite being cursed to never fall in love, she has the obligation to continue a precious bloodline. But when a family secret is revealed, Aradia must thrust herself away from everything she has ever known and into the company of those who have secrets of their own. In order to know the truth about herself, she unravels different perceptions of reality. Will Aradia become everything she has ever wanted, or will she continue to be a failure?
Lei's imagery is terrific, and her plotting is very strong. I love the diversity of her characters, each containing light & dark. Her patience in developing the minor characters has made me grown attached to them!

Lei has a gift for writing chapter endings that pack a punch and story reveals that hit you in the gut! I really like the way she works with her themes. They're heavy, powerful, profound, and transformational.
