I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
This book immediately grabbed my attention because the main character, Gemma, could see a future and alter the person she had the vision about and completely change their future. I mean, what's not cool about that right? Having the ability to see someone do or go through a horrific event and then helping them by averting their minds to choose a different path is super cool.
Unfortunately in this book and for Gemma, that is quite the opposite. In her world, she is a rarity because people born like her are generally male and the females born like her are sort of shunned. Emma's first aversion happens to be a boy in school and she thinks she messes it up because the boy is suddenly talkative to her and wants to be around her all the time. This is where the rest of the series seems to be non stop action.
Emma, her father, and their friends who have their own abilities, soon find themselves being sought out by a group wanting to start a war against those who male the rules of their kind. Gemma however doesn't want any part of it and keeps herself distanced, and often fighting this group.
Later inn the series, they meet these people, called the keepers, and she is against them too but soon finds herself fighting with t against the rogue group.
Of course, I'm letting out a lot of details, but I just have to say that I really did enjoy reading this series. It kept me on my feet and interested at all times, wanting me to keep turning the pages to find out what happens. This series, while it seems short, had a lot of action packed into it. I highly recommend this series to everyone. Thank you to the author for the chance to read this series and add another author to my list of which I'll check out their other work.
