I wanted to like this book. I really did. It started well, I enjoyed reading from Zellie's POV. She made me laugh with her crazy (and quite realistic) thoughts. But when it got to her 16th birthday party, everything went downhill. The major plot twist turned the story around, suddenly we were dealin...

I had a love/hate relationship with this book as I was reading it. On one hand the writing was terrible, truly, truly terrible. But on the other hand the idea of this girl seeing visions was incredibly compelling, enough that I had to bring myself to finish it. This book had so much potential, the c...

*Read the full review at Witchmag's Boekenplank* The first part of this book rocked. I had to hold my stomach several times, that’s how hard I was laughing. And that’s not something that happens often. I’m more of a quiet giggler. What came after that first part was still fun, with some nice quote...

Believe me when I say that I tried many times to finish this book. Unfortunately I couldn't and although I wanted to enjoy it after reading the description, it seemed to me like nothing that important occurred or was going to occur.

I enjoyed this book enough that I'm interested in reading the next in the series. It's original and well written. Very dark at times, this is not something for anyone looking for a fluffy YA read. My only real issue was with the adults, especially Zellie's selfish mother. I wanted to shake some sens...

So Glimpse is the story of Zellie (Hazel Grace) Wells: pastor's daughter, high school girl, love interest of the hottest boy in town, Avery. It's an easy read, this book. I'll admit, after the last book I read, this was a dream. The author sets the scene and the characters right away and spends a...

This book was very good and had a great plot/storyline. Zellie was a good character and I liked Avery a lot. The characters were developed at a good pace and I liked Zellie and Avery's chemistry. Avery was a good boyfriend to Zellie and I like the way he was written. He was in love with Zellie from ...

So I liked this book, although it didn't have the most substance ever. Here's my breakdown:Beginning: Cute and enjoyable, I actually found myself smiling a lot, but it basically read like her diary with mostly just teenage relationship stuff. Middle: Zellie starts having visions, so this middle se...

Overall an excellent start to a series. Benefiel nailed the teen tone and made me feel like I was back in high school--except, you know, with psychic powers. The POV transitions were a bit jarring as there wasn't any indication of the shift, but this might have been some kind of issue with the Sma...
