I went to the Montreal Comiccon last month. Going through the aisles, I passed by a stand where a bookmark was given out. With this bookmark, you can download a free book. Wanting to find out more books to read, I decided to give it a go. This was at Amanda Lynn Petrin's stand, and the book is First Life.
It's about a young woman, Alison, who learns that she's Gifted - someone who has special abilities. Throughout the book, she learns about the gift she has, and how she can use it to help others.
I find that the book is quite engaging. When Alison uses her gift, the author goes into detail on what Alison is going through, which adds to this aspect.
The twists are evenly spaced out. While some aren't as big as others, the ones that are really big made me want to find out what comes next. In between each twist, you get to find out more about each character in the book and gives a nice break within the book.
The book is wrapped up nicely in the end. Not only is this book a part of a series of books, reading this one makes me want to read the rest. While it doesn't go into detail about one aspect of what is in the book (a golden box), I feel that it might be a part of something bigger that is dealt with in another book, and it is something I want to find out about.
As a basketball fan, the fact that the sport is referred to is definitely a plus for me.
