{My Thoughts} – A brilliant debut for another series by Trisha Leigh. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy this book or not after being so attached to the debut of Gypsy, but Miss Leigh has proven to me that she can tell more then one insanely awesome story.

This book is about four main characters. Their names are Oz, Kaia, Sarah and Analeigh. They are each teenagers and they are each training to become Historians.

When I think about time travel I usually think of Doctor Who. something simple without a lot of lingo that I can’t understand. When I usually read a book about time travel it is often the opposite. It is a lot of things I don’t understand. It is a lot of things I can’t make sense of and it severely makes the story lack that of what makes a story good. I didn’t have that problem with this book. This book wasn’t over run with words I didn’t understand but it wasn’t overly simple either.

Kaia is the mischief maker in the group and you learn that from early on. Oz and Sarah are both meant to be true loves and according to the book it isn’t often that you get to meet your one true love and be able to physically be with them. That more often then not they live and die a part of from you in a different lifetime. Sarah is also the tech genius of the group whereas Oz is the silent and shy kind of guy that seems to just go with the flow. Analeigh is Kaia’s best friend and without her I’m sure she wouldn’t have much of a conscience. It is almost like a Jumminey Cricket type relationship.

There is so much that happens within the pages of this book that I am bursting at my seems. I want more like hours ago when I had completed the book. I want to know what happens. I want to know what is going to happen. I want to know where this story is going. Right now it is a beautifully painted image of a world that is not Earth, but the inhabitants are trying to figure out what caused Earth the fail and that is why they have all these Historians in training. They have all these individuals that dedicate their life to time travel, to observe events and to try and see what’s been missed in the previous historical documents.

I also enjoyed the softer side of romance that was displayed within it’s pages. It wasn’t too little, too much, it was just right for me and I could re-read those scenes over and over and still feel the same way because they appear to be so real. I enjoy a book when the romance part isn’t forced and it seems to happen more naturally. Those to me make some of the best books, the ones worth reading.

I think the premise of the book is one that is worth being interested in. I think the author is brilliant. And I think I can’t wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this series to anyone that is interested in young adult, time travel type books.… (meer)

{my review} – This book was incredible. I had a really hard time putting it down and going to sleep some nights.

This book is about a seventeen year-old girl named Gypsy and her nine friends. All of these teenagers have two things in common. They all live on the same plantation and they all have special abilities that help to make them unique and or different from your average teenagers. When I first started reading this book the first thing that came to my mind was that it reminded me of X-Men just with a more juvenile/Girl type spin on it.

Gypsy is a fun, quirky, and slightly depressing character. She has a way with others that she just kind of blends in and she has a loving nature about her that is magnetizing. Her closest friend on the plantation is Mole. He is blind but he doesn’t let that hold him back. He uses all of his senses aside from sight obviously as a means of identifying where he is, what is going on around him and how to handle situations that would be easier could he just see. He knows when Gypsy is around him, he knows when she walks into a room and senses her presence automatically. The two of them have a really close bond and it helps them later in the book, when a bond between them seems to be the only thing helping to hold them both together.

This book is mainly about Gypsy and her friends and what happens to them once they are discovered on the Plantation and the world they once knew was no longer the one that they were living in. I am sure that many individuals that were raised by one parent and then went to live with another parent or some other family can relate to what the struggle to fitting in at a new school, having to make new friends and working on just surviving a new environment can be like.

This book helps you to understand the steps her and her friends take in that journey of surviving all things new. It is the story in between trying to survive and trying to make sense of what was and is no longer. This story was well written, rather powerful and extremely hard not to love! I look forward to reading the next book in the series!… (meer)
