I see visions and hear voices, and I have no idea what they mean.When someone murders medicine men in my sleepy Arizona town, I can't help but worry my crazy grandfather is involved. He's a medicine man and more than a just a little eccentric. He likes to tell me stories about the Great Wind Spirit and Coyote, but none of it makes any sense. I thought I knew the truth, but in order to clear his name I dive into his alien world and uncover an ancient secret society formed over two hundred years ago to keep me safe--me And I can't help but to start to wonder whether there's some truth to those old stories my grandfather has been telling me.I just want to be an average sixteen-year-old girl, but apparently I've never been average. Could never be average. I didn't know it before, but I'm a Chosen, and those voices I've been hearing... well, they're not just "voices." I've started to develop abilities, but they might not be enough. A powerful entity called a Seeker is hunting me and he's close--really close.I thought I knew the answers but truth is, I don't. Betrayed by those I love, I must choose to run or risk everything in order to fulfill my destiny. I hope I make the right choice.

I absolutely loved reading about Juliet. Her story was an adventure and a love story of sorts. I hope to read more of Juliet and Troy in the coming books. ( )

It was okay, but didn't hold my interested. Tossed in DNF pile at 25% of the way in. ( )

I got Wind Catcher by Jeff & Erynn Altabef, as an Amazon freebie back in October of 2016, but it got lost in the shuffle. Then…I won a signed paperback copy of book two, Brink of Death, so I pulled it out, dusted it off, and wondered why in the hell I waited so long to read it.

Juliet Stone is special, but she doesn’t know it. I love her feistiness and loyalty. She sticks up for her friends, even if it comes to blows. You definitely need to watch out for the badass ladies in Wind Catcher.

“You’re special Juliet. You’ve been chosen.”

What seemed to be a typical young adult story. You know, a ‘warrior’ girl fighting the big bad evil, has a twist with Native American mysticism that adds an extra bit of goodness for me and the battle with the Seeker tops it off.

I went straight to Brink of Death, Chosen #2, by Jeff and Erynn Altabef.

I freely chose to review this ARC and was surprised by Juliet Stone's grit when faced with a prejudice for being Native American in an all white world. I found her to be quite settled and almost an adult like thinking to be so young and I liked her defending those she loved and standing up to The Seeker who wants her to betray her people and side with him. Will she listen to her grandfather, save her mom, protect her friends as she battles The Seekers evilness? ( )

A fantastic and well thought out storyline with likable and easy to identify with characters. The story was captivating and attention holding. Definitely one of the better coming of age young adult books that I have read in a long time. No cliffhanger! Looking forward to the next one! ( )
