Once Nara combines her prophetic ability
with Ethan’s power to outsmart Fate at his own deadly cat-and-mouse game, she’s
more determined than ever to help Ethan learn the meaning behind the raven
sword tattoo that suddenly appeared on his back after their confrontation with
Fate.
During her quest to uncover the tattoo’s
secrets, Nara enlists the help of some new friends and discovers her own
surprising connection to Ethan.
While Nara digs deeper into the mystery,
her desire for answers leads her down a dangerous path full of powerful and
ruthless enemies. Swept into an age-old battle, Nara quickly learns that
keeping one’s enemies close can be a necessary evil, making an intangible enemy
she can control far more preferable to the human enemies she can’t.
My take...
Nara is a girl on a mission. She is seeking
out what ever info she can find about the mysterious tattoos on Ethan’s back.
But along the way she finds trouble…imagine that. The closer she gets to the
truth the stronger the evil is that is stalking her and causing her harm. Who
is after her? And what do they want with her journal?
At the start of Lucid, not far from where
Brightest Kind of Darkness ends, we realize that Ethan has went back home to
mend his broken relationship with his family. So, much of Lucid we are Ethan
free….and that just brings a frown to my face. I loved me some Ethan in BKofD
and was looking forward to more of him in this one. We did however get a few
new characters that brought with them some mystery and intrigue. Take Drystan
for instance…I loved him. I had a hard time stopping myself from rooting for
him while Ethan was away. And lets not forget Patch the raven. He was a quirky
little guy but always seemed to be there for Nara when she needed him most. He
made the perfect addition to the series, even if he is a bird.
I read Lucid pretty much in one day; you
just fly through the story drinking it in. I was hooked from the beginning and
couldn’t get enough. The book grabs you and you don’t want to put it down. And
thanks so the suspense I bit off what little nails I had. It was nerve racking
wondering what was going to happen next…who was after Nara…and why wasn’t Ethan
returning her calls or texts?
When I closed the book I was happy with the
ending and all that progressed throughout the book. Michelle did a fabulous job
giving the reader a story that is beyond unique and absolutely different than
anything you have read in the YA genre. It is packed full of action and I was
tickled pink with all the twists and turns Lucid laid out for us. The ending
also leaves the reader eager to begin the next book in the series. Unfortunately
we have to wait for it.
When I read Brightest Kind of Darkness last year I knew it was one of my top fav books of the year. Lucid is ranking right up there in fav books for this year too.
And being a fan of The Office...when Parkour was mentioned I couldn't help but snicker remembering the opening to one of the shows opening.
