Pretty good. ( )
  bookjunkie57 | Apr 17, 2015 |
This story is about a girl (Alfrieda aka Allie) who lives with her rather useless mom in a small camper trailer on her uncle���������s property. She gets electrocuted and knocked into a bull pasture in time for the bull to charge at her. But unexpectedly she thinks about the bull backing away and it happens. From there her world gets weirder and weirder when she gets a moonstone necklace from her friend Kizzy and things begin to get even crazier. Kizzy gets beat up and on her way there an unexpected friend helps her out. From there we have the introduction of a cute possible love interest in Junior. They dig for clues together and find things get harder and harder. With not knowing who to trust and who not to she finds herself in a battle to save her mothers life. An absent father rings in to help a little but indirectly and offers to get to know her after 15 years of not caring. How will this story progress?

Being the first for this series it was pretty good. I found that the flow of the book went well and I even liked Junior and Allie and even Corey. There were times that things seemed rushed but all in all at least it wasn���������t bugged down with too many details. I would definitely recommend and am looking forward to reading the next in line.

Started off well. I liked the character and her grappling with her new powers. The ending I found disappointing. I was disturbed by the violence, though heartened by Allie's response to it. This is the first of a trilogy, but I'm not sure I will pursue the others. ( )

This is yet another book I got from Netgalley to review. It came in a bundle with the other 3 books of this series.
When I sat down to read it, I thought that it will probably be just like any other light book, but honestly - I liked it. It had a constant diary style voice, and in my opinion that fit with the narrator - 15 year old Allie (Alfrieda).
I loved her feisty character, loved how much she cared about the people she loved. Well, I didn't like it when she was trying to lie to her mom, but point for mom (Faye) - she always saw through the lies.

Also, until it came to be, I had no idea which of the boys would end up in a romantic relationship with Allie. But then came Junior Martinez - a total Latino hottie, who knew not to cross the boundaries with that particular girl. Because she's dangerous, powerful and not one to mess with.

The story was light, and at the same time intense. There was love, there was action, there was paranormal activity. In four words: it had it all.

Well, there were some grammar mistakes (missing conjugates and such), so yeah it kind of needs some minor editing. But really, nothing major.

The characters:
*Allie - Well she's a girl who can't be messed with. She protects her friends, and generally the weak. Sometimes she saves the bullies from the strongest of the day. Good thing is that she can also save herself, and she doesn't hesitate one second when she has to put her life in danger in order to protect her mom.

*Faye - Allie's mom who is a really irresponsible adult. She and Allie live in a trailer, and Faye doesn't care to do anything to change the situation. In many cases, Allie is the adult, while Faye is the disobedient child.

*Kizzy - that's who kind of got it all spinning. But without her, I think that Allie might not have had half as much confidence in herself as she does now.

*Junior - oh well, what can I say? He's absolutely yummy. He's the hot guy who grabs the girls' hearts and doesn't let go.

This is a very good book for 14-16 year old girls. ( )
