Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 24, 2013
I have been having really good luck reading young adult books lately. There is some really excellent books for teenagers now and this book was no exception. I wish there had been books like this when I was a young.Allison and her best friend Delaney stumble upon a scene they were not meant to see. And actually only Allison sees it. It involves some of the most popular boys at their high school and really shocks her. The boys know they have been seen and make it their business to find out who the witnesses were. When they do, it puts them all on an amazing path especially for Allison-because Allison is not who or what she always thought she was.This story was paranormal but a really different paranormal. It was so easily read that I have already read the first two books in a two day period. There is also another one already released too. This book had a major cliffhanger ending and because it was so well written, I had to continue on with the next book.One of the things I really enjoyed about this book was the dialogue. It flowed easily, was real and did not sound juvenile, always a good thing in a young adult book. Another thing I liked was the really different premise of the book. I read a lot of paranormal books and this is different from any I have ever read. The author takes her time, introducing the characters, letting readers gradually(apart from the beginning) realize that something is just not right in this small town. And something is definitely not right with Allison.The author knows how to write for young adults and how to write a great story. If you are looking for a big romance, that is not this book. There is a kind of romance but nothing full on. And really it wasn't necessary, because this book was character and story driven rather then romance driven. I enjoyed getting to know each of the characters and they were really well drawn by the author. I also would like to commend the author on a totally unique premise for this book. I will be interested to see if we learn more about this world the author has created in the next book. I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.I really enjoyed reading this book.
