Seers of Light (Light Series Book #1)

Author: Jennifer DeLucy

Genre: YA Paranormal/Fantasy

Release Date: February 16, 2010

Summary:

Lillian Hunt has never truly lived. Always sensing more to the world than is easily perceived, she fears that her instincts are stubborn flights of fancy, or worse, mental instability. But some things-disappearing strangers, tangible dreams, and visits from malevolent creatures-cannot be ignored. Before it's too late, Lillian is ripped from the only existence she's ever known and thrust into a reality that she always suspected, but could scarcely believe. She must learn the truth about who she is, the powerful beings that wish to destroy her, and the two men who would die to protect her. 

Jennifer DeLucy has created a unique, enchanting tale of destiny and the ageless power of love in her debut novel, Seers of Light. DeLucy's novel charms readers with quirky characters, while sketching a haunting portrait of one woman's journey on the path of the supernaturally gifted. But be prepared. Once you've entered the world of Seers, you will never be the same.  

Review:

Seers of Light is a wonderfully charming novel about a young woman who is taken from her normal life and is suddenly brought into a world that she always thought may have existed, but never had proof. Now she's trying to avoid being killed while figuring out who she really is and what she's capable of - not to mention the two guys who are willing to die in order to protect her.

I thought that this story was very well written and had a great flow. I found myself intrigued from the very beginning of the story and couldn't stop reading until the last sentence. The setting that the book is set in was a perfect choice for the story - it added the right amount of fantasy and supernatural aspects to make the story feel more ominous and magical. The characters were interesting and had many facets to them, which I found made me more involved in the novel and eager to see their outcomes.
This was a great first novel in the series and will have readers eagerly coming back for the next book in the series.

Whisper of Light (Light Series Book #2)

Author: Jennifer DeLucy

Genre: YA Paranormal/Fantasy

Release Date:  October 26, 2010

Summary:

The saying goes that all men are created equal... but Nicole Abbot knows better. Lacking the supernatural gifts of the Sentients she has known all her life, Nicole has lived with her nose pressed to the glass, withering beneath the guilt of her own inadequacies and the disapproving glare of her father. It's easy to believe that the universe has forgotten all about her, but things are not always as they seem. With the arrival of Christian Wright, a handsome but complex Combatant with a troubled history, Nicole is forced to question everything she has ever believed about herself, proving that sometimes, our most flawed perceptions are those reflected in a mirror. Jennifer DeLucy again plunges us into the world of lingering spirits, dark apparitions, and malicious vampires. But this time she takes us to the California coast where we get to know a new ensemble of gifted souls that are just as vibrant and endearing as the Sentients we came to love in Seers of Light. In Whisper of Light, DeLucy delivers exciting supernatural encounters as well as very human interactions that will both break your heart and make it soar.  

Review:

Whispers of Light is the second novel in a great paranormal fantasy series that follows a young woman who is taken from her normal life and is suddenly brought into a world that she always thought may have existed, but never had proof. Now she's trying to avoid being killed while figuring out who she really is and what she's capable of - not to mention the two guys who are willing to die in order to protect her.

I thought that this story, which was the second in the series, was just as well written as the first book and had a good flow as well. I found myself once again sucked into the story from the very first chapter and I didn't stop reading until I finished the book - which only took one day. Again, I found that the setting of the book was a perfect choice for the story - it continued to contain a great mix of the fantastical and magical aspects that made the story of the first book feel realistic and supernatural. The characters and their problems continued to be interesting and had lots of complexities, which I thought made  the storyline of the novel believable and makes the reader more invested in the narrative. The second book in the series continues along the interesting story and will keep readers coming back for more.
