Even if it means sacrificing her own life. She’s also a guardian-Vane’s guardian-and has sworn an oath to protect Vane at all costs. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can even coax it into a weapon with a simple string of commands. Seventeen-year-old Audra is a sylph, an air elemental. And he has no idea if the beautiful, dark-haired girl who’s swept through his dreams every night since the storm is real. Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston has no idea how he survived the category five tornado that killed his parents.

I recommend it, however, for tweens, and parents looking for some “cleaner” paranormal coming of age materials.A broken past and a divided future can’t stop the electric connection of two teens in this epic series opener from the author of the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series. It has its good points, but for me, it doesn’t really measure up to the competition enough for my limited reading time. Especially In-N-Out Burgers: imagine the power of these burgers if they can break the willpower of someone who hasn’t eaten in ten years!Įvaluation: This is book one of a trilogy (of course) but I probably won’t be returning to the series. Popular culture or product placement? The Cheesecake Factory, McDonald’s, and In-N-Out Burgers are probably sending the author royalties as we speak. The evil character (Arella) is too cardboardy. Plodding predictability of boy-girl romance. Sense of humor of the author – both overt and subtleĬreativity – it’s nice to see paranormal characters who aren’t angels, devils, werewolves, vampires, necromancers, harbingers, witches, faeries, and the like, but rather something a bit more original. The power of a kiss (as opposed to, say, way more than that) Suddenly, on yet another abortive attempt at a date, he sees the girl “of his dreams” and everything changes, including Vane’s understanding of who he really is. Now Vane is seventeen, living in “the hottest freaking place on the planet” in California’s Coachella Valley, where his adoptive parents took him when he was eight. He can only remember the face of a girl, and that girl has been appearing to him in his dreams ever since.

He miraculously and inexplicably survived, but with little memory of what happened. When Vane Weston was seven, he lost his parents in a category five tornado in Nebraska. There is a lot predictable about this paranormal YA coming of age book a lot that is creative and lot that is funny – intentionally.
