Title: CyclesAuthor: Lois D. BrownNumber of Pages: 198Date of Release: December 15th, 2011Summary From Goodreads:She remembers things that never happened.She's a stranger in her own home.She always knew she was different.She just didn't know why.Until now.Renee Beaumont is about to die . . . again.Review: With a beautiful cover and an intriguing summary, Cycles drew me in immediately. It wasn't just one thing that made me enjoy reading Brown's writing it was a combination and I loved and appreciated that. Cycles is a unique tale that will have you on the edge of your seat!Renee as a character is incredibly likable and I really loved trying to uncover her past right alongside of her. The incident in which she loses a lot of blood and needs a transfusion had me frightened for her even though it was the beginning of the book. Lois D. Brown crafted her as a sincere  and mature 13 year old that anyone could relate to. Sam was a bit confusing, I loved how he didn't instantly fall head over heels for Renee but found his attraction leading him to the popular girl at school. The relationship between Sam and Renee is endearing and only slightly tinged with romantic sprinkles.The plot was fast paced and when I hit the ending I did not see it coming at all. I mean WOW I am still reeling from what you did Brown!! The journal entries from the 1960's from a women named Helen who I will not tell you about were genius. It added another layer of suspense and another layer to the plot. I would definitely recommend this book it is fast paced short read that will instantly grab your attention!!
