Jarrod Thornton is mesmerizing, but Kate Warren doesn't know why.
The moment the new guy walks into the room, Kate senses something strange and intense about him. Something supernatural. Her instincts are proven correct a few minutes later when, bullied by his classmates, Jarrod unknowingly conjures up a freak thunderstorm "inside" their classroom.
Jarrod doesn't believe in the paranormal. When Kate tries to convince him that he has extraordinary powers that need to be harnessed, he only puts up with her "hocus pocus" notions because he finds her captivating. However, the dangerous, uncontrolled strengthening of his gift finally convinces Jarrod that he must take Kate's theories seriously. Together, they embark on a remarkable journey -- one which will unravel the mystery that has haunted Jarrod's family for generations and pit the teens against immense forces in a battle to undo the past and reshape the future.
* Just a little note
Before I get to the
review, I just wanted to add a little message, this is my first ever book review and My wonderful cousin, Kirsty (she didn't tell
me to say that *cough*) has lent me some
of her books that she couldn't finish,
Since this is my first
review it will only be a short, as I'm still new to this whole scene of things
and need some practice. Although Kirsty
and I share some taste in books (e.g. Harry Potter, some of the Vampire genre
and some of the classics), I will be reviewing my own (and my romantic
partner's), so we'll have a few different genres within MG, YA and Adult.
So some reviews you get
off me will be slightly different than others as its all down to the books and
how well or easy I find them to read. (Which will be difficult for me as I
suffer from mild Dyslexia, which makes me read slower, but I love to read so
will try my best to make my reviews readable with Kirsty's, help of course.)
