Parallel Visions by Cheryl Rainfield
4.0
The main character, an asthmatic girl named Kate, has psychic visions whenever she has an asthma attack. This is an interesting concept I haven't seen done a thousand times before and I'm curious to see where Rainfield will take it. Kate isn't my favorite character - she possesses a naivety that I didn't have as a teen her age so she didn't feel real to me. That may have been the point - she has the type of mother who hovers. It's hard for anyone to blossom under another person's shadow. Kate is the hub of several plot threads that were hinted at for future installments. I expect her to grow as a character in future stories (and I will be disappointed if she doesn't).
That being said, I felt like the real story was just beginning when the novella ended. There's a lot of set-up for future installments of the series.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review. I admit - I'm biased. I love Cheryl Rainfield because she tackles difficult topics like domestic abuse, rape, and suicide. I strongly recommend her works for parents who want to open discussions about these topics with their own children.
