review 1: I never read the first book, Awakening, in the Lily Dale series, but I think that the third book is okay to read and won't be confusing even if the first book is not read first. Connecting has a good plot and is interesting because there is a lot of suspense and tension, but it's written in third person. I personally prefer first person because it puts the reader in the character's shoes so that we can understand more about them. However, the setting of this book is mostly realistic, minus the psychic part of the story. I think it's more realistic because the main character, Calla, deals with things that I, and many others, have felt before. An example is that Calla moves, and changes her school, and leaves her friends and classmates from Florida behind. However, Calla mak... morees new friends at her school and is able to adapt. I feel that this is the thing that I can relate to Calla the most about, because I've also moved before and changed schools.
review 2: Book 3 of the Lily Dale series. Calla has come to terms with having paranormal talents, and is learning to hone them. She is getting mysterious signs of a teen relationship her now deceased mother had while living in the house she now lives in and it could be a lead to her mother's murderer. In the midst of all this she's still a teen trying to making new friends & dating at school. Intriguing read. Hard to put down. less
