My Thoughts
A thrilling adventure that will make you believe in
miracles.
Kay was told that she will die before she reaches her
eighteenth birthday, but her mother is determined to save her. When they move
out of Ahseville, NC to try a new set of cancer specialists Kay finds something
that may be able to help her. What she finds in the woods outside of Asheville
and a mysterious boy named
Ryan may prove to be her one chance at seeing her
eighteenth birthday. However the journey is not over yet and her mother has
secrets of her own that will change her world forever.
The imagery was breathtaking and imaginative. I had no
trouble getting lost in this intense and exciting new story. It was an excellent
coming of age story because Kay is still discovering herself and who she truly
is.
While on her journey she will discover things about her life that she never
would have dreamed and she will learn that not all things are what they seem.
The romance was sweet and I really wasn’t sure which
character I liked best.
I loved the mystery and suspense in this story because it
kept me guessing until the very end and it was written very well without giving
too much away, but leaving hints along the way.
Kay was a fun character to get to know. She was easy to
relate to and I believe many kids her age can identify with some of the things
she was feeling, even though some of her experiences are a little more bizarre than
normal. I also enjoyed seeing her grow as a character throughout the story.
Ryan was definitely a mysterious and yet intriguing
character. I’m sure every reader will love getting to know more about him like
I did.
This was an exciting story filled with mystery and romance
that you will want to read again and again.
