This review is for the Kindle edition ebook.Disclosure:  I was given my copy of this book by the author as a review copy.My review of this book was initially done as several reviews of the serial releases. The first six episodes have now been combined them into Book One. Episodes Seven through twelve have been combined into Book Two, which this review covers. This is a combined review of the separate episodes.Mystery, abuse, courage, and suspense all need to come together to make this coming of age story work.This continues the story of Alex. Romance blossoms between Alex and Paige, and they grow up. The reader is taken into the life of the adult Alex Drummond, now a detective on the Police force. The visions continue, and Detective Drummond must now try to solve a series of murders that have plagued his home town for 15 years. An old friend, Jessie, becomes involved, creating new challenges.We do all grow up eventually. How we learn to deal with the challenges of life does determine who we become, and sometimes it really is overwhelming. This story evolves through the challenges of teenagers into adulthood, which can be very traumatic.The adult Alex must continue to find the courage to do what is right. As in real life, struggles do not end when we grow up, and challenges continue throughout our lifetime. How we handle those struggles and challenges determines who we become. The author has done a very good job explaining some of the challenges of life.While Weston Kincade does write to entertain the reader, and succeeds at that goal, he has other motives. He tries to give a touch of guidance to teenagers and parents struggling to understand the issues they are going through. Sometimes, we, as humans, can identify with a character and it will help us get life right today.I can easily recommend this series to teenagers and their parents. We are all different, and for some, this series will simply be great entertainment. For others, it may serve to remind them they are not alone. I will continue reading this series.
