goodreads...
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.

After Nara prevents a bombing at Blue Ridge High, her ability to see the future starts to fade, while people at school are suddenly being injured at an unusually high rate.
Grappling with her diminishing powers and the need to prevent another disaster, Nara meets Ethan Harris, a mysterious loner who seems to understand her better than anyone. Ethan and Nara forge an irresistible connection, but as their relationship heats up, so do her questions about his dark past.
