Synopsis

“I spent my birthday fast asleep. In a coma to be exact.”

When Savannah wakes up after two months in the hospital, she sees a whole lot more than expected, things that could put those close to her at risk.

The five Delcarta sisters have never believed in the paranormal, not like their woo-woo mother. Instead they believe in the power of sisterhood, of romance, and rebuilding their lives after their father’s mysterious disappearance nine years earlier. Starting anew in the small town of Iris Harbor, they see potential in all.

But Savannah’s awakening after having surgery on a life-threatening aneurysm brings a unique ability to the Delcarta sisters–together, each can predict the future with one of the five senses. And Savannah has the gift of sight.

A serial arsonist has been terrorizing the tight-knit community, and the Delcarta sisters have their suspicions on who could be to blame, including a boy who starts as an adversary to Savannah and then very quickly becomes her whole world. Investigating these crimes, trying to stop them before the next flame is sparked will call upon Savannah to use her newfound abilities with the help of her sisters, and will put each of their lives in danger.

This stunning new paranormal series blends the sweetest of romances with breathless suspense, and introduces five young women who share a haunted past, an extraordinary gift, and an uncertain future.

Reviews

Gr 8 Up—Following a two-month coma, 16-year-old Savannah Delcarta wakes up with a newfound power. When she and her four sisters get together, they can predict a future event. Each sister uses a different sense to do so. Savannah can see these events, which include anything from a neighbor taking out the trash to the serial arsonist in town setting another fire. While working out the kinks of these new abilities, the family is trying to settle into a new life in Iris Harbor, hoping for a fresh start. Savannah is the youngest of her sisters and narrates this series opener. She can also see ghosts, which comes in handy for Riley, the boy she starts dating who lives across the street, and for Savannah's family as well, as their father disappeared years before the start of the book. The author presents their sisterly bond in an authentic way, but readers may question the sudden development of the powers. VERDICT Purchase where paranormal romances and adventures are popular.—Natalie Struecker, Rock Island Public Library, IL
