It begins as a sub\u00adtle vibra\u00adtion, a tingling.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is time to take only one breath.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trance begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it is through, Ash\u00adlyn is cer\u00adtain of two things \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Some\u00adone she knows is about to die, and \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

She is pow\u00ader\u00adless to stop it.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cap\u00adsule<\/em> Descrip\u00adtion: Ash\u00adlyn has a gift, one that she can\u2019t con\u00adtrol, one that she can\u2019t under\u00adstand. If she could have under\u00adstood it, her moth\u00ader might still be alive. As it is, she\u2019s all alone, and her gift is telling her that some\u00adone else is about to die, but who and how is still a mystery.<\/p>\n

Descrip\u00adtion:<\/em> Ash\u00adlyn (and her old\u00ader sis\u00adter Kyra) have the gift of pre\u00adcog\u00adni\u00adtion. The gift comes sud\u00adden\u00adly, gives them inco\u00adher\u00adent visions and leaves them remem\u00adber\u00ading a strange series of num\u00adbers. What is worse, one of those visions, had they been able to decypher it, could have saved their moth\u00ader. Now Kyra is gone, some\u00adplace their worka\u00adholic father won\u2019t reveal, and Ash\u00adlyn is left alone, not only hav\u00ading to deal with the guilt over her moth\u00ader\u2019s death but also in deal\u00ading with her gift that does\u00adn\u2019t stop occur\u00adring. Its only by the help of her friend and co-work\u00ader, whose mys\u00adti\u00adcal knowl\u00adedge helps her fig\u00adure out the mys\u00adte\u00adri\u00adous num\u00adbers and under\u00adstand the iden\u00adti\u00adty of the next per\u00adson to die.<\/p>\n

Com\u00admen\u00adtary:<\/em> This book does\u00adn\u2019t exact\u00adly deal with any form of hyp\u00adno\u00adsis or any\u00adthing relat\u00aded, but when I saw the image on the cov\u00ader, I knew I just had to put it in the col\u00adlec\u00adtion. Just find\u00ading it, too was quite the coin\u00adci\u00addence: I was at the local con\u00adven\u00adtion venue, attend\u00ading a dif\u00adfer\u00adent event, when I saw there was a room next door where a Scholas\u00adtic Books dis\u00adtrib\u00adu\u00adtor had set up. Being the book lover I am, I wan\u00addered through, and spot\u00adted the cov\u00ader across the room. After pick\u00ading it up and read\u00ading the back cov\u00ader, it was pret\u00adty obvi\u00adous that the \u201ctrance\u201d of the title was not any\u00adthing exter\u00adnal\u00adly imposed but some\u00adthing result\u00ading from the hero\u00adine\u2019s inter\u00adnal gift.<\/p>\n

Rec\u00adom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtion:<\/em> For a YA (high school) book, its pret\u00adty good. The nat\u00adur\u00adal and super\u00adnat\u00adur\u00adal prob\u00adlems Ash\u00adlyn is forced to endure are well described and the read\u00ader is led to sym\u00adpa\u00adthize strong\u00adly with her.<\/p>\n
