"I can fly. It's not as cool as it sounds. Actually, it really sucks."
Don't you just love it when the first sentence in a book grips you right away? It has everything - enough information and mystery to keep you intrigued. As a kid I frequently dreamed that I could fly (I blame Peter Pan for this obsession), so I was immediately interested to find out why would that suck. Except for the obvious reasons of course: wind messing up your hair and blowing up your skirt. :)

Aurora is just another girl who moved away from home to attend law school. On first glance there is nothing special about her. Except that she confessed to us her darkest secret. When she gets excited or stressed, Aurora can fly... just float up to the sky... And since you all know how stressful is new school and environment, she has this problem quite often.

Aurora tries to avoid people because she does not like attention. She is not shy, but careful because she does not want her little secret to be discovered. So how does she after one week in law school ends up as best friends to a hottie who is a star on a movie filmed nearby? Not only that, the other star of the movie - even hotter dark bad-but-not-so-bad boy is kinda flirting with her. To quote Aurora:
"I'm not sure when I'd been transported to a much cooler alternate dimension where I met movie stars on a daily basis."
Yeah right?

Although a little bit predictable, the first part of the book is still cute contemporary romance with light paranormal elements. And then it feels like someone told to the author that there is not enough paranormal in her book. So The Shyama enters the scene. Demon-like beings that hunt and kill gifted people. And the book explodes with random plot twists. There are dramatic escapes, fights, flying, and of course big show-down at the end. Again Aurora said it all:
"I was living in a poorly scripted science fiction B movie."

Flee by Miranda Kavi is a mix of contemporary romance and paranormal genre. There were a couple of good ideas, but due to the books shortness I feel like neither the romance or the paranormal elements of the story had enough time to be developed fully. A lot of things are told to us without explanation why, and we have to just accept them. Still, Flee by Miranda Kavi is interesting, fast-paced read - it will definitely hold your attention.

I recommend this book to fans of: contemporary romances set on college, handsome movie stars heroes, paranormal books about people with special abilities.

I waited and waited for this book to grab me and it just did not. After 40% of the book having been read, there are still no details about her gift. The character devlepment has not happened. It is an easy to read book, but I the most I really know about the lead heroine is that she has good shoulders, guys find here pretty, but detail is seriously lacking.

If you want a light mindless read this might be it, but for me this fell into the don't waste my time category. A couple scenes I had to re-read because the scene had moved forward but the actions that should have precipitated it came after. The one that most comes to mind is when "he thrust into her", (she was fully dressed and so was he) then her dress and panties fluttered to the floor a few moments later. The other thing that bothered me was she called her mother in a panic because she was being followed and then hung up on her never to call her back again about it. She see's a guy following her and runs away from him, and that is the last you hear about it. It started with a build up of a "menacing prescence" and then she got it on with the hero, and I have not heard about it since. So the storyline really needs to be worked on.

If you don't mind lack of details, this is ok. But if you want a plot, keep searching and "flee" this book.

Note: I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This book was excellent to read. The character of Aurora was someone to look up to because she was doing everything in her power to make something of herself. She had a strong moral attitude of what was right and wrong. Gavyn was a sweetheart, he was someone that I would want to fall in love with although I did think that their romance seemed hurried in parts, and overall it was believable.

Some parts were pretty predictable but overall the theme and pace of the story was awesome.
