Kathy's Review:Yes, you read that right. Bigfoot.Chasing Prophecy is about three close friends in high school. The girl, Prophecy, aka Kazzy, is a part of a locally-known commune, but it’s not until Mo and his friend Max are drawn into some shady dealings that the commune is involved in, that things get weird.I think the author did a great job of capturing the mind of a teenage boy in main character Mo. In love with his best friend, Mo sees the events unfolding with the cult through the filter of his own feelings. Seen by his peers as someone to be picked on, largely because he has two moms, Mo’s friends protect him and build him up. The other characters in the book aren’t quite as robust.I wasn’t sure whether this book would be up my alley – I mean from the description above, it just seems like the whole Bigfoot thing is a misprint. But yes, Bigfoot does factor in to this book, as Mo and Kazzy decide to look for the legendary creature up in the mountains. Whether or not they find him, I will not say. ;)If you have a teen reader in your life, or you are a teen reader, I’d say to give this one a whirl. An interesting storyline, some crazy twists, and some innocent teen romance round this one out.*An ecopy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
