Three centuries later, Abbey Grace digs up Sarah's letter in her backyard and contacts Layla in Portland, Oregon just as Layla leaves to study in the UK. Coincidence? Not in the life of a Clear.
Once in Cambridge with her host
family, Layla meets Stuart Fairchild, a friend of her host family, who seems
more than familiar, mysterious and disarming. Layla's once isolated existence
turns upside down as she learns there are many things she doesn't know about,
including details about her workaholic mother and father.
And what she doesn't know could
kill her.
Layla can hear what people are thinking. As if that’s not enough, she’s also having intense dreams about a woman dying. Little does she know that the woman in her dreams is a part of her.
As she begins to discover who and what she is, she realizes the people around
her know more than they are letting on. Layla is a Clear.
Enter Stuart and Andre. She’s attracted to Stuart right away, but accepts a date from Andre. Too bad Andre’s father, Jasper, is the head of the Bane. Jasper wants a Clear, and threatens the lives of everyone Layla loves in order to sway her to his side.
Just as Layla thinks things are settling down, her mother gives it
to her straight, “Oh dear, girl. Now it begins.” And this is how the first book
ends.
Thanks to the intriguing story and interesting characters, I’d
recommend this book to readers looking for a series with great potential.
