“Night is a predator, and it’s got me.”
A thrilling dystopian story of star-crossed love, perfect for fans of Eve of Man and The Hunger Games.
Do you know who you are? Do you know where you belong? Do you recognize good from evil? Seventeen-year-old Fern thought she understood it all…
“Yolanda McCarthy’s dystopian novel, A Girl From Forever, is a thrilling teen adventure that explores multiple what-if scenarios as a young woman follows a lengthy quest for answers. Told in the first-person narrative from Fern’s point of view, the reader will be instantly caught up in the turmoil that plagues the protagonist as she seeks answers. With considerable conflict, both physically and mentally, the plot moves forward with a driving force that will have the reader unable to put the book down… This is a powerful story that not only rivets the reader but speaks to them about issues all young people face: first love, betrayal, truth, and denial, and what’s really real is this complicated world in which we live.” – Readers’ Favorite 5* review
Psychics, immortals, and a battle over humanity’s destiny. First love. Betrayal. Abduction. Murder. When friends become enemies and terrorists turn into allies, Fern’s betrayer could be her soul mate – but that might not be enough to keep her alive…
Some lies are lethal.
(I received this book free in exchange for my honest review)
It’s been quite a while since I read a dystopian book. This book caught my interest not only for the amazing cover but for that alluring synopsis that really painted a intriguing picture of what this book would be. I will tell you that I completely enjoyed this book and I had it read in one sitting. It had this nostalgic feel from my childhood, when I first started to get into dystopian book, and when they started to become quite popular; think before Hunger Games.
This book had a nice steady fast pace. There were few lulls between getting between plot point to plot point. I liked the MC’s, I liked the plot; I liked almost everything about this book. The only reason it doesn’t get that covered it five stars is because, it had that bit of a set up feel to it. Which seems to be a commonality with series books that are are being released today. And I believe that has to do with when I started getting into reading, the chances of getting a second book were slimmer than they are today. So a lot of authors would you know, write the first book like it was there last.
On a whole this book is a solid read and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval. You need to read this book, I guarantee it will make you fall back in love with a dystopian genre.
Happy Reading

Yolanda grew up in London, where she worked as a lawyer, a supermarket assistant, a civil servant, and at a cat shelter. Not in that order. Her work took her to California, Serbia, and Dubai, but her fondest memories are of Bermuda. (She’s still homesick for Bermuda. Especially the pink sands of Elbow Beach…)She now lives in Kent with her husband and son, where she writes all kinds of speculative fiction. Sometimes she climbs mountains.
