LitPick Review
First visions is about 21 year-old Kate Edwards, who after waking up from a coma realizes she has psychic abilities. Instead of dreaming while she is sleeping, Kate finds herself in the minds of adults and children. When Kate’s powers lead her to a missing child, her friends and family become frightened and pessimistic about her so-called powers. The negative reaction causes Kate to convince everyone her powers are gone, and it works…until Detective Jared Corbett showed up at her door.
Opinion:
I rated this book 4 stars, but it was more like 3 1/2. Though First Visions by Heather Topham Wood was an enjoyable book, it was also confusing at times. I didn't like that the point of view was in third person, because it often described the characters personal feelings throughout the book, in a way that is usually used in first person writing. Kate's character was very well developed, but other characters were hard to believe. The author's descriptions of the setting were in-depth and it was easy to visualize the places Kate went. The book would have been more interesting if it had developed some of the other characters in the story. I also think that this book was more of a romance than any of the other genres it fit into. I would recommend this book to people age 14+.
