Daire had just turned 16 and the visions she's been having for years become more frequent and more real. Her single mother has no idea how to help her, and the two are left with two options. Either institutionalize Daire to get her "hallucinations" under control, or send her to her father's mother's house in Enchantment, New Mexico. Her grandmother claims to know about Daire's visions, and that she can help control them. Daire soon comes to find out that she is a Soul Seeker, and trying to outrun her fate is impossible. The story goes to discover more about Daire's family's history and what Daire's destiny as a Soul Seeker means for her. You also are trying to figure out how two twin brothers, Cade & Dace, will affect Daire's fate.
The story took a little bit of time for me to get into, but after about 50 pages I was hooked. There are a lot of different elements to the story that I didn't quite expect. All of the characters have a lot of development, and there still seems to be so much more to figure out. I felt myself emotionally connecting to the story. The descriptions really pull you in. I think the most interesting part of the story to me is the relationship between Daire, Cade, & Dace. There is an interesting dynamic to the three, and I'm sure there is a lot that will be discovered in later books about just how complicated their connection is.
I liked how the ending of the book wrapped up the story line/conflict that was the main focus of this particular book, but it set it up really well for another conflict to arise (I'm assuming the basis of the second book). It made me excited to read the next book in the series, to see what happens next. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
