It was like he had stepped straight out of my dream. He was even wearing the same clothes. I stood rooted to the spot as he walked right past me without even glancing my way.

Well-Written and Imaginative

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

I was pulled into this book from the very beginning. It is a well-written and imaginative book. I found the teenage characters to be very likeable and they behaved like teenagers. I absolutely loved the powers they had - and how they went about using them.

The narrator, Sarah Sampino, did a great job as narrator.

Great Story & Narration🎧 Fascinating & Enjoyable!

I thoroughly enjoy this book, it is well written with interesting storylines that are both fascinating and captivating from start to end. Suzana Thompson is a gifted author with a creative and imaginative mind. The characters and storylines she created are realistic with a touch of supernatural and made it seem not so unusual, that there is magic inside everyone. Susannah was your ordinary HS girl, then she has a dream of a nice looking guy who turns out to be a new student in her school. She also finds she can communicate with him telepathically. She does not understand what is happening. Duncan, the new guy in school, is not very nice to her, thinks she is playing him.. When he finally realizes she is telling the truth he tries to help her understand. Then his past comes back to haunt him, his ex-girlfriend Anna, she is the reason why he moved from his old home. Anna is manipulative and not nice at all and she comes into town with a purpose. She fools everyone at first but when she reveals what she is after her true colors show. I loved how everything played out, how Susannah’s powers started to surface and strengthen. Knowing how evil Anna could be Duncan tried to protect Susannah by pushing her away, but she did not give up on him. Then Susannah, her best friend Caitlin & boyfriend Alex, Duncan and his Mom teamed up and come up with a plan to stop Anna from creating havoc. I loved the ending, kind of reminded me how love and goodness prevails. This is an enjoyable and entertaining story, it contains plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns as well as a sweet YA romance. Suzanna Thompson, thank you for the is great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

I listened to the Audible edition, Sarah Sampino is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She brings these characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality. She does an amazing job projecting the emotions of the characters as well as the drama of the story into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

LOVED IT!

I absolutely loved it! This book caught my attention from the very beginning and held it throughout the entire book. The narration was superb and gave the story that extra flair! The author did an excellent job with the character builds and plot. This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last. I look forward to reading more books by this author! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great story

I really enjoyed this book. It is a great paranormal book that is a much different story than most I usually read! I would love to read more!!!

Excellent

This audiobook was EXCELLENT. I loved pretty much all the characters. I think Ana could have her own book. For some reason I found her extremely interesting. But I always did have a tendency to root for the bad guy. I didn't exactly LOVE the ending. It felt a little....flat...maybe. But that is only because the rest of the book was so awesome, I think. I also think that narrator did a fantastic job. This isn't the first book that I have heard her narrate, and she always brings so much to the story. And I can't wait to hear more from these guys!

magic ...

Good story

This is a good paranormal story with a sweet little YA romance thrown into the mix. Sarah Sampino did a wonderful job with the narration.

Fun and intriguing!

Susannah has the largest crush on a young man until another walks into the picture. At first she won't admit it until she finds they have something unique in common - magic. She and Duncan can read peoples' thoughts and communicate with each other telepathically. Through this link they grow closer until Duncan's ex-girlfriend moves to town and inserts herself into the picture.

The story has a steady pacing and some fairly suspenseful parts. The story is one part romance one part urban fantasy. The author dos a good job dragging the reader along as Duncan and Susannah grow closer then splitting them apart. It only made me want them together more. She also does a great job at depicting high school life and woes and building characterization.

This was my first time listening to a book narrated by Sarah Sampino. She does a great job with pacing,voices and getting the reader into the characters. I'll happily listen to another story she's narrated.

This story is appropriate for young adult s well as adults like me who enjoy the YA genre. It's also bound to be a favorite among readers who enjoy romance. I'm hoping for a book 2!

I was provided a copy free for an honest review.

Wonderful story!

Ok I was seriously pulled into this story. I was on the edge of my seat waiting and wondering what was going to happen next. Or why was this happening. I Loved every second of this story. From Susannah and her friend To Duncan and his mom. It was all good!

This isn’t my first book by this author. I feel she does a great job building her characters and her stories. They always seem to intrigue me and keep my interest. I did listen to this on audio. Sarah Sampino did a wonderful job and had me chuckling a couple times.
