Book Description:
“I spent my birthday fast asleep. In a coma to be exact.”
When Savannah wakes up after two months in the hospital, she sees a whole lot more than expected, things that could put those close to her at risk.
The five Delcarta sisters have never believed in the paranormal, not like their woo-woo mother. Instead they believe in the power of sisterhood, of romance, and rebuilding their lives after their father’s mysterious disappearance nine years earlier. Starting anew in the small town of Iris Harbor, they see potential in all.
But Savannah’s awakening after having surgery on a life-threatening aneurysm brings a unique ability to the Delcarta sisters–together, each can predict the future with one of the five senses. And Savannah has the gift of sight.
A serial arsonist has been terrorizing the tight-knit community, and the Delcarta sisters have their suspicions on who could be to blame, including a boy who starts as an adversary to Savannah and then very quickly becomes her whole world. Investigating these crimes, trying to stop them before the next flame is sparked will call upon Savannah to use her newfound abilities with the help of her sisters, and will put each of their lives in danger.
This stunning new paranormal series blends the sweetest of romances with breathless suspense, and introduces five young women who share a haunted past, an extraordinary gift, and an uncertain future.
I sometimes like reading young adult books as they sometimes surprise me very much and be more like a cleaner version of an Adult novel. This book is very good, with an interesting and unique story-line/twist, likable characters and a good mystery to go along with the speculative fiction bent.
However this
book is exactly as advertised –a YA novel and I mean for younger audiences –perhaps
in the 12 to 16 year old range.
When
Savannah one of five sisters awakes from a comma, it seems that the sister’s
reality shifts one step to the right.
Now they have visions (for lack of a better word) and each sister ‘sees’
things (future things/ past things) with a different sense. Five senses, five sisters. One sees things visually, one via smell,
touch, taste and sound. This makes for a very interesting new life for these
teens.
Along with
this dilemma, normal teen angst abounds what with the girls moving to a new
town and going to a new school…getting your new boyfriend to believe you really
aren’t a nut-case and that you really can see his dead father.
There is
also a mystery involving arson to add some spice to this story.
All in all a
good read for any age.
