*Cue gushing*
All I can say is wow!! I cannot even begin to describe how I feel about this book. This is Mrs. Ganshert’s debut into YA lit but she executes it like a pro.
I loved The Gifting! It is the perfect combination of dystopian, paranormal, and romance without one overpowering the others. The book starts off a little slow, but then I couldn’t put it down.
The plot is full of surprises and I was definitely stunned at how fast it ended. I inwardly screamed at the end.
And after reading book 2’s preview.
And after realizing the next book doesn’t come out for another month.
Also, I loved the characters and am still struggling to stop thinking about them. Luka is sweet and protective of Tess.
And, Tess is awesome. Other than the crazy, paranormal part and the family dynamics, I found Tess highly relatable. She’s just a sweet, shy, ordinary girl struggling to fit into a world where crazy doesn’t exist.
Her inner monologue had me smiling at times and I frequently grinned during her interactions with Luka.
Correction: I couldn’t stop grinning.
I can’t wait to see what happens in the second book! All this to say, if you love The Hunger Games or Divergent, this is the book for you!
And, it’s currently free on the kindle! How awesome is that?
I’m also attaching the link the Katie’s website because she has several fun extras and character images:
