review 1: I loved this book. I finished it in a day because I could not put it down. I have said it before and I will say it again I love Clare Fern. Finally she chose Gabriel. Even though you find out the truth of what really went down with Tiffany and Justin I still hate him. I can't believe that Mr. Rylander was the stalker. That was a mako plot twist. I enjoyed both of the books in the Clarity series. And I strongly recommend both of them.
review 2: Highly Recommended [return][return]This is the second book in the Clarity series. Hopefully there will be more! Clare can see into the past and it is a pretty handy skill in solving crimes. Clare is beginning to realize that she wants to use her gift for helping people instead of just catering to tourists through her ... morefamily business. The first book left readers wondering if she was going to go back to her ex-boyfriend, Justin or start dating Gabriel. Gabriel is new in town, he’s super hot and his dad is the new chief of police. We get some more insight into Gabriel’s past that makes readers like him even more. He understands Clare better than most of her other friends and there is a lot of foreshadowing as to who she will pick to be her boyfriend.[return]Clare is becoming close to a girl named Mallory. This is her first real friend at school since she has been shunned before because of her gift. Everyone always thought she was just the weird girl. Because she is beautiful, smart and can see the past – she becomes a target of a stalker. It started off with some small romantic gestures, so she assumed it was Justin or Gabriel, but then it quickly turned into scary stalking. This is the mystery that needs to be solved![return]I am definitely hooked on the two Clarity books. I love the characters, the suspense, the mystery, romance and elements of paranormal powers. It’s a fast-paced entertaining read. The setting is a small New England town. Clarity lives in a Victorian mansion and it really fits her and the mood of the book. I love everything about it ☺ I’m not sure that the maturity of the characters makes it suitable for 7th and 8th graders, but it’s perfect for high school readers. There is no explicit sex or drug use. But people die and there is some hard-core stalking and kidnapping going on. It’s a good addition for a school library. I’ve been recommending it to readers who I know like mystery and paranormal stories. It would be a good book club read. Maybe it would fit into a contemporary literature class, where students read current YA books. Librarians could design fun book displays based on the theme of these stories. less
