Synopsis:
Everything
seemed to be going right for Cora. She had a wonderful fiancé, a great best
friend and a fulfilling life. One day, a tragic event causes that life to
crumble around her. She turns to her best friend in her time of need. They
embark on a search for answers, delving deeper into a web of magic and
destruction. The closer they get to the truth, the more questions they have. To
Cora, magic was the stuff of fairytales. Immersed into a very different kind of
world, the storm was just beginning to take hold.
“It
felt like I was nowhere yet everywhere all at once. I was invisible and
completely panicked. The millions of pieces I had dissolved to drift on the
breeze and away from my nightmares. It was kind of like floating weightless in
a pool, perfectly relaxing. The warm breeze from the window embraced and
soothed me. I let the air current carry me as far as it could through the
summer city.”
“Defeated,
I closed my eyes and took a few calming breaths trying to relax myself. I
pictured the dandelion in the park today and took a deep breath as to blow the
fluffy seeds in all directions. I pretended I was light and fluffy and started
to feel a tingling in my body. I began to feel as light as the dandelion seeds
and soon I felt like mist floating. This time, I tried to keep myself in the
room, in a humid block.”

Excerpt:
I
rushed into the front room only to find the nightmare playing out just like in
my dream. Soon it was all a blur and I felt as if I was coming apart at
the seams. I felt light, weightless. I saw myself mist into a
million particles before I dissolved.
It felt
like I was nowhere yet everywhere all at once. I was invisible and
completely panicked. The millions of pieces I had dissolved into drifted
on the breeze and away from my nightmares. It was kind of like floating
weightless in a pool, perfectly relaxing. The warm breeze from the window
embraced and soothed me. I let the air current carry me as far as it
could through the summer city.
I
just floated through the air as my frayed nerves softened and the edge of panic
subsided. I felt so at peace and relaxed. I eventually made my way
to Water Street and then I tried to force myself into Nessa’s building.
My particles seeped at the seams of the door all around, splitting.
Once
inside, the air died and my particles began to form again. In a matter of
seconds, I swirled into my human form. Naked and freaked, I looked up to
see Nessa witnessing the whole thing with her jaw dropped. The coffee mug
she had been holding fell to the floor and shattered on the cherry wood.
We stood like that for several seconds before I broke out of my own shock.
“I
could really use some clothes, Nessa. This is kind of awkward,” I
admitted, trying to shake her out of her shocked trance.
She
snapped her jaw shut and left the room in silence. Just as quickly, she
returned and tossed me a fluffy, white bath robe. The shock in her eyes
had yet to dissipate and I wasn’t sure I could blame her. I was still in
a state of shock myself. I wasted no time wrapping myself in the bath
robe and having a seat on her brown leather couch.
Nessa
stood there for several seconds before breaking out of it and joining me on the
couch. I threw my arms around her and the tears began to flow without
regard.
“Please
tell me that was a figment of my imagination,” Nessa said.

Book Review:
This book was fabulous. Imagine going out with friends for drinks one
night and waking up the next day with a throbbing headache… okay we can imagine
that, but supposing the headache didn’t clear up by day 2? Then you hear something and wake up to
discover your fiancé brutally murdered.
Wouldn’t you just want to melt away and float through the air away from
problem? Well what would you do if that
actually happened? Yes, that’s right,
you broke up into little molecules and floated away only to reappear at your
best friend’s house… naked… and covered in blood. Yeah, I can just see the faces on the police
when you told them.
This is exactly what happens to Cora. Then she and her friend Nessa decide to go on
the run to find out who exactly killed her fiancé. While they are trying to decide what to do
the man who bought Cora a drink stabs Nessa with a needle and she passes
out. When she gets better after her massive
headache and hung-over feeling, she has unique gifts too.
As the story progresses, they find
more people like themselves. All have
recently had contact with the mysterious man.
As they find out more about their abilities, people start disappearing…lots
of people… and they still don’t know what is going on, but their little group
has grown to 7 people. They end up in a
trap and escape from that only to be arrested by the FBI. And then……….. the book ends. (screams “nnnooooo”).
The sequel comes out in 2013, which
can’t come soon enough for me. I highly
recommend this book. It is
fabulous. I give this book 5
clouds. I can’t wait for the sequel.
