WOW this book had everything every other book out there was lacking :D
Seriously - Strong beginning, exciting middle, edge of your seat ending with the perfect flow that leads to the next book - nothing seemed chopped or hurried - J.Meyers did an excellent job on this book :D





   

Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.

Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.

I’m originally from Vermont and my husband is, too, so it always feels like home to me, even though I no longer live there. I lived in Germany for three years when I was 11-14 years old. That was so long ago that it was actually West Germany at the time. I visited the Berlin Wall before it came down (while it was still very well guarded with armed soldiers). We traveled to so many different countries during those three years. It was an incredible time. I loved Germany and didn’t want to come home when our time was up. However, I was lucky enough to come back to Vermont.

In college I studied acting and singing at Ithaca College. A year after graduating I moved to New York City to pursue my dream of an acting career. After a couple of years and some success, I decided I wanted my life to be different than what it was, so I headed back to Vermont. Luckily for me I had been working at a production house that put together text books for the big educational publishers for about a year before I moved. I continued to work for them as a freelance educational writer from Vermont. That job lead me in a very roundabout way to where I am today. An author.

Honestly, I didn’t always love to write. In reality I hated it when I was in school. Including college. (I remember a conversation with my advisor in college that went something like this:
Advisor: You should take a writing class. It’s very important to learn to write well.
Me: Do I have to take it?
Advisor: Well, no, but it’s really, really, really important. You should really take a writing class.
Me: But I don’t have to, right?
Advisor: Well, no, but . . .
Needless to say, I never took a writing class in college.) I had no confidence in my writing ability. I never felt like I knew how to write, nor that I wrote well. Actually, I was convinced I was a terrible writer. But when I came back to Vermont after living in the City, I fell in love with it. I’d had a lifetime love affair with words and wordplay, but it wasn’t until I was in my twenties that I loved putting them together on paper. And I’ve been writing ever since.

One lucky day I fell in love with YA and MG books. The writing was so good, so creative, so beautifully intense sometimes and incredibly silly at others. And it was so much better than most adult lit. It felt like home to me, and I knew I’d found my literary place. I expect to stay here forever.

I now live in central New York out in the country in a 140 year old house. My husband and I have four incredible kids we are unschooling. Some of our favorite things to do are go for walks at our local state parks, play outside as much as possible, and admire the birds that come to our bird feeders. I love baking sweet treats (I have a weakness for sweets–especially chocolate) and am terrible at dinners (planning and executing well-balanced meals–dinner time comes along and that’s when I usually think Oh, crap! What are we going to have for dinner?). I make a mean salsa (and a lot of it when tomatoes are in season because we really like salsa) and an amazing knock-your-socks-off chocolate sorbet (if you share my deep, undying affection for dark chocolate, you would know you’d found chocolate-nirvana at first bite).

Jen's Review

And the story wasn't too bad either :D it was better than that - I loved it! Who would have thought there were people out there with special gifts.. Gifts that included healing people, seeing the future, listening to people's thoughts, seeing ghosts and even the world’s best liar! And MANY more out there that we'll be meeting in the next book :)

Sera and her twin brother Luke are special children. Ever since they were little they had their abilities to see things, to heal. And when Sera had helped her grandmother, and her very own grandmother called her evil, they dared never to tell anyone about their abilities to anyone but themselves.
That wasn't as easy as they thought it would be. Luke's ability to see things happening either came at him just mins before it actually happened, and he had no time to get there, or his visions dragged out. If they came incomplete, he knew he had time... but he never knew what he had time to do.

So when he saw the death of his very own sister, he had no idea what to do. He was never wrong with his visions, and he never had enough information to be able to change them.

Sera was a healer. Whatever she touched that heart, her hands healed. Rather it was physical or emotional, she was able help it. And she was more than willing to help anyone that needed her.

So when the crazy lady covered in blood came running at her, she had no choice but to heal her.
But what she really did, was brought a lot of unwanted attention to herself and her abilities.

I liked the mystery in the book. To know who to trust and who not to trust. Was Marcus a friend or an enemy? Was Jonas going to turn Sera in? or protect her? And just what was Fey's role in all this?

It all comes out in this story, so I don't really want to explain too much about these guys.

Let's just say I would recommend this to those that love a good YA PNR book :)
