Book Talk:
Tavia's life has taken an unexpected turn for the worst. The only survivor of a plane crash that killed both of her parents, she is living a quiet life in New England, attempting to recover from her injuries when things begin to get decidedly weird.
Her friend Benson, who works at the library, has been her constant companion and friend throughout this ordeal. He has listened to her, held her confidences, and encouraged her when things seem like they are at their lowest point.
She is seeing a therapist - Liz - who is helping her deal with the traumatic fall out of her accident.
And she is living with a step-aunt and her husband- Reese and Jay- that she met once, at a funeral 10 years before.
Her new life is as far from normal as anything could ever be when she begins to have visions of a mysterious man who seems as if he's from a time 200 years in the past. He appears to her, encourages her to follow him, and talks to her.
A stranger in town, Sunglasses Guy, begins following her around. Wherever she goes, there he is. He's outside of the therapists' office, outside of the physical therapist's office, and outside of her home.
Through it all, Quinn becomes a constant presence, encouraging her, attempting to lure her away from her life.
Coming home early from an appointment one day, Tavia hears Reese speaking with Liz on the phone, and realizes that they are speaking about her. Hearing just enough to fear for her safety, Tavia decides to make a run for her life.
Running from her foster parents and sunglasses guy, Tavia decides to chase after Quinn. She wants to find out why he is haunting her visions, her dreams, and appearing wherever she goes.
But the truth could be more than she can handle...
Chased by two warring factions of Earthbounds, running from Sunglasses Guy, and running towards she knows not what with Quinn, Tavia clings to Benson for security, warmth, and love.
But, is everything as it seems?
This non-stop thrill ride will keep you gripping the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
Unexpected plot twists, as well as a love triangle you will never expect will keep you guessing from beginning to end!
Reviewer's Note:
I read the middle book, Earthquake, before this book. While I knew what happened next, I was blown away by some of the unexpected turns that the plot took in the first book that had not been elaborated upon in the second book. Even better, as I was reading the book, I kept finding myself saying "NO!!! Don't you see what he's doing here?"
Excellent, excellent read! Well worth the time!
