2013, Crafting a Life Books
482 (endless) pgs.
YA fantasy-ish
Finished 1/1/2014
Goodreads rating: 4.19 (this is very hard for me to believe)
My rating: (1) Yuck
1st sixth - Tucson, AZ, the rest in Brooklyn NY and Stockbridge, MA
1st sentence/s: "This all started because I lit my boyfriend on fire."
My comments: Holy catfish, this book was NOT for me. It was endless, but I had no other book on my phone so this was it. I so badly wanted to like it, particularly for the parts that described Tucson so beautifully, but this was a definite DRONE....on and on and on and on with very little meat. Sketchy, too. There are so few books that I flat out don't like, and my apologies to the author, but....
Goodreads book summary: Hannah Rose was able to convince herself that she was a normal teenager, even though she usually knew exactly what was about to happen next. Until one day when she set her jerk of an ex-boyfriend on fire-from 15 feet away-propelling herself into a world of weirdness.
Rosie is sent to live with her aunt in Brooklyn. There, Rosie discovers a family legacy of strange abilities and dangerous talents. Her training tests her gifts-and her patience-but over the summer she does begin to learn to control her unique skills and meets a boy with equally dangerous strengths. Together, they find a sort of peace that neither has ever experienced, and it looks like it will last-until disaster breaks them apart in a way neither saw coming.
