A tale of friendship, unbreakable bonds, forgetting the past and moving on. SOPM is one hell of an adventure!

A gorgeously crafted story inspired by an accident and an imaginative dream, hence the Foxfire Chronicles was born!
Attracted by the unique title and cover, I was even more fascinated by the concept of the story. Combine Aliens and shape shifters and you will get Biryos (at least that was the closest comparison I could think of). I was impressed by the originality of the story, now I could add Biryo’s into my list of mythical creatures!

Fox-Me-Up! (Reasons why I love this book) :

1. Shadows of Past Memories is definitely one of its kind. The concept of Biryos and Biryo D’s and their planet was a mixed of paranormal and sci-fi, I had certainly never come across such a book, it was intriguing and a refreshing change.

2. One of my favourite part of the story is the characters. Alexandra did a great job in bringing the characters to life that each one of them just sort of grow on you, it was hard to pick favourites!

3. Intense emotions portrayed by the characters. How am I supposed to ignore the intensity and ferocity of the connection between each character? And I am a softy for romance. I found myself to be often tongue-tied when I was reading about the romance!

4. Vivid description of the story, I was intimidated by Airian, the evil character in the story and my heart was racing throughout the fighting scenes! The writing was so good!

5. I was eager to unravel the mysteries of the story. Aura was a character with the most secrets, most of the time she was trying her best to hide her emotions and bury her past, however her past always catches up with her and I was intrigued to read about her reactions. And of course, Firo’s reaction.

I can’t wait for the next book to be released, I was quite saddened by the ending and looking forward to read more about the characters and a whole new world that I came to love, live and know.

You wouldn’t regret a second of it!

Review by: silvana velickovska on Dec. 20, 2011 :
What would do if your best friend moving far away? She is like your sister. You think that isn’t right decision…That happened to Aura. She is on a way to lost her best friend Terren. But what really happened with their lives. Strange creatures attacked them. Fear, supplication and tears. Seems they are lucky, they are saved from other beings.
Then Terren reveal that she isn’t what she thinks that she is. She isn’t human being.

What really happened I asked myself constantly, when I reading this book. Reality, dreams and parallel worlds are mixed in this book.

Main characters are real girls with real lives, dreams and needs. But in their lives shows some creatures some of them want to hurt them, the others want to protect them, evil creatures and good creatures. The fight between good and evil.
The creatures: Airian –master of the evil creatures, Ikura –good creature and the others creatures seems to me realistic, when I reading about them like I see them in front of me-Yikes! I feel the shivers through my body when I remind to some of them, specially the evil one. But like I told you there are good creatures too…
In that disorder in her life Terren learn who she really is.
Ikura and Koren and the other good creatures give her a book, ancient book.
The story in that ancient book is fabulous. I liked so much.
Alexandra is an excellent narrator. She makes me to believe in this story in these creatures and in their worlds.
