review 1: I really liked this book. But much of that had to do with that I listened to the audiobook form of it. The narrator, Sean Runnette did a very good job with the tone of the story and did much to help make the characters play out the way I think the author had wanted. I don't want to add any spoilers to my review I had wanted it to turn out a little differently. I did have compassion for the main character. What was going on started out of her control. I would like there to be a sequel to this as there is something I would like to see be a continuation. But can't say anymore without spoiling things. I highly recommend the audiobook over the print/ebook version. The narrator Sean Runnette was before this book on the bottom rung of favorite narrators for me. I never liked his ... morevoice and the certain speech impediment he has that always drove me crazy when I would listen to him I always avoided books with him as narrator. But after the first half hour into Callis Rose I got used to his voice and was happy how he read and his portrayal of the characters. It really made all the difference for this book. So if you're interested in paranormal things, astral projection may be part of an explanation... Get the audiobook.
review 2: Overall I enjoyed this book. I can see where people would compare it to "Carrie" because of the way the paranormally gited lead character is bullied by the clique of meanies. Callis (rhymes with "malice") is an average girl from an average family but with a unique gift. She can control people. Things go sideways for Callis and she finds herself being shuffled from foster home to foster home. She starts high school and doesn't even make it to the school before the harassment begins. Callis has her "ups" and more than a few "downs" until the whole thing comes to a head. She isn't a character that I was 100% invested in because I'm not even sure if I liked her or not. Weird? probably. Was I entertained? YupWould I read more by this author? you betcha less
