Tasmyn Vaughn didn't expect much when her dad’s job moved them
to a small town in Florida; it was just another new school. But there is more
to King than meets the eye, and soon Tasmyn’s ability to hear other’s thoughts
is the least of her worries. Entangled in a web of first love, quirky and
secretive townsfolk, magic and blood rituals, she discovers the town’s secrets
aren’t just bizarre, they’re deadly.
My take...
Tasmyn is starting yet another first day at yet another new
school. Her whole life she has been able to hear what others are thinking and
has had to learn to block them out. Unfortunately she ends up hearing something
about a blood sacrifice and it totally creeps her out. But not even a full day
in and she has already made an enemy with one of the most popular girls in
school, and the earlier creepy thought gets pushed to the back of her mind.
Thankfully one of the most gorgeous guys in school comes to her rescue...and he
seems interested in her. Not one for talking to guys, Tasmyn is not sure what
to think. Feeling a pull towards him too, Tasmyn is not sure how long she will
be able to keep her 'talent' secret. And with things getting weirder in her
small town, keeping her talent secret is getting harder by the second.
Kandle wrote a very convincing love story between 2 teens. Yes
it’s a love at first sight romance, but I love her whole take on it; with it
being something of a family affair. I don’t want to give that part away, but
it’s really sweet and very romantic.
I absolutely loved the storyline…what’s better than a girl who
can hear other people's thoughts and ends up turning using that gift for the
greater good? With things going crazy in the small town of King, Tasmyn has her
work cut out for herself. But thanks to some great characters, Tasmyn is not
alone in the fight.
The only problem I had, which is just a personal issue mind you,
is the use of witchcraft. I am not hugely fond of witchcraft stories, but with
that said, I enjoyed it and how it all ended. And really it wasn't satanic at
all in nature, so it didn't turn me off at all. I am still looking forward to
more of the series and more of Kandle’s writing.
Fearless is the start of a great series that is perfect for any
YA reader. It’s clean and simply romantic. I enjoyed it and hope you will take
the time to read it too.
I'm glad you enjoyed this book. It sounds great to me. I'm intrigued by the paranormal part of the book. Witchcraft? I don't think I've read a book on it yet. Great review, Mandy! Thanks for sharing.
