SYNOPSIS

*I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review *

This is the first book that I have read from Kimberly Readnour and I have to say that I was very impressed! I felt so bad for Heather at the start of this book at how rejected she was for having such a useful gift. Once she got involved in a very heart wrenching situation, she showed her strength. The book as a whole was awesome and all the characters were well rounded. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next one!!

Book Synopsis from Amazon:

Heather Reiner is not your typical teenager. Her abilities reach far beyond the norm, and she’s just beginning to discover the possibilities.

Growing up different from her peers has not been easy. Ridiculed by classmates, Heather moves to another state, but soon realizes she can’t run from a problem that begins within.

A guy from her new school, Barry, is captivated the first time he sees her. Determined to know her better, he learns her layers of complication run deep. With persistence, he chips away at her shield until each protective layer starts unveiling itself.

Heather wants a chance to be normal, but secrets never stay hidden forever. They reveal themselves when least expected. Is normalcy obtainable, or will the mystery about herself be discovered? And if discovered, will Barry be like everyone else and turn away?

Visions is book one of a young adult mystery thriller trilogy.

Kimberly Readnour from Amazon: 

I have always enjoyed reading books, but within the last five years discovered my passion for writing. Ever since childhood, I imagined writing a novel, but never took the time to pick up a pen. Oops, showing my age... I mean laptop. When my daughter reached her teenage years, I found my reason to start composing those stories.

I worked for fifteen years as a Registered Nurse before hanging-up my stethoscope. Now, I run my own business while continuing to write during any downtime.

I'm blessed with a wonderful husband and two children. The dynamics in our household changed when my oldest left for college, but I can't say it was bad. Different, but definitely not bad. Each stage of life has been amazing, as to which I'm truly grateful.

Oh my goodness! I've read all three of these books separately and then again in the trilogy set! They are amazing. The world of Feyland that Mrs. Sharp has created is amazing. I am not one to give spoilers in reviews, so it is really hard to say a whole lot about these books. But one thing I can say is they are AMAZING and you HAVE to read them!! If you like fae stories, gaming, romance, or are just in the mood to try something new then you need to get this book right now! You will never again look at a video game the same way! This is absolutely a 5 STAR BOOK!

I bought both the book and then the audio upgrade since I love audiobooks. From the beginning, I was hooked on this book. This is not your typical high school book nor your typical vampire book. It has a new twist on both of them and boy did it work! This book has a bit of everything: vampires, coming of age, spy network, Washington DC power plays, a tiny bit if romance sprinkled in, high school jealousies, and the top 10%. It is a well rounded book that touches on so many different directions while at the same time weaving them all together so you don't get lost. It's very well done, and the narrator was very good as well. I recommend this book. I cannot wait to continue this series!! Another 5 STAR BOOK!!

* I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review *

I am a huge lover of audiobooks and of fantasy so I was excited to get the opportunity to listen to this book in exchange for a review. This book was a little different than I am used to but not in a bad way, just different. The story was original for the most part. I actually thought the whole story was until the smallest mention of Merlin. Not that this book is another "Arthur" book, because it's not AT ALL. But there is a relation there. Besides that, beautifully written original story. This definitely is an audiobook that you need to either sit down with the purpose of listening to, or listen while driving. It is a story that you need to pay attention too, but it deserves your attention and you will not regret giving it. I'm off to listen to book 2 now, but please pick up some format of this story and get started on the series! It is well worth your time and money.   SOLID 5 STARS!!

This is the second book of the series and it was just about as good as the first. There is a big battle brewing and you can feel it throughout the book. Finding the seers and their guardians is the main tasks at the moment, but we are getting to the battle. I think once we get there, things will heat up very quickly! I give this book a SOLID 4 STARS!!
