"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 really
enjoyed this story. I think J. Meyers did a wonderful job taking something that
we see a lot of (vampires, fey, elves, etc.) and giving it a unique spin. I
loved having twins as the main characters for the story. Sera and Luke were the
story. I don’t think it would have mattered what they encountered I would have
enjoyed it as long as they were in it. The plot was fast paced and action
packed. There was never a dull moment or something going on that wasn’t pivotal
to the story.
Sera is
able to use healing powers and Luke has visions of the future. They keep their
powers mostly due to previous bad experience with how people handle it. With
the power to heal Sera is less subtle about using her gifts being that even a
touch from her can calm your mind.
I really
liked the twins. Sera is head strong and stubborn but she also has a heart of
gold. If someone asks her to help them she will not turn them away. She also
doesn’t think twice about helping a person in need, even if it could mean her
doom. Luke on the other hand is more cautious and protective of Sera. He is
thoughtful but is not going to do anything that would even have the inkling of
putting his family life in danger. Luke is almost burdened with his gift, being
able to see the future but not being able to stop it. I feel like it gives his
character a maturity that we don’t see as much in Sera.
Jonas,
Fey and Marc were some of the main side characters. Each one unique in their
own way and each one dealing with their own set of issues. Fey is Sera and Luke’s
best friend. Well Sera’s best friend, I think Luke has his eye on her in a
different way. She is supportive and wise beyond her years….hmm. She helps to
keep things in perspective for Luke and Sera, especially when Sera has a
tendency to get herself into sticky situations. Jonas is the dark brooding
handsome type. I liked him as I do all handsome brooding types but there was
something a little different about him. He isn’t necessarily cold to anyone but
he is also not out to make friends. He has a little more of a leave me alone
and I’ll leave you alone type of attitude. Of course poor Jonas a book cannot
be made out of that. Marc was okay. I wasn’t particularly fond of him but he
did have a good relationship with Sera. They have a lustful relationship going
on but not too lusty.
Hooray
for a love story with a twist! I did not expect things to turn out the way they
did but I’m glad that they did. It was different but I don’t want to give it
away. It’s one of those things where you might be sad, or you might happy, or
maybe just reflective.
I like
the writing, the lure, the characters and the unique way it’s all put together
in this book. Plus it has one of those alluring covers I love so much. Add it
to your TBR list especially if you like paranormal fantasy book. I look forward
to future installments of this book.
I've downloaded Intuition which is a bonus story but I haven't read it yet.
