“You can’t move forward until you deal with the past…
Starting over is nothing new to diplomat’s daughter Lindsey Yi. She’s grown up changing schools the way other girls change clothes. Still, moving to Lincoln, Connecticut, is different. Although she’s still reeling from the loss of her parents in an accident, Lindsey is finally in a place that feels like home. Because here, Lindsey’s ability to read other people’s thoughts doesn’t make her weird. It makes her one of the Mystyx.
When Dylan Murphy—hot, popular and a senior—starts to notice her, things get serious, fast. But even as she’s figuring out how she really feels, the Mystyx realize that they’re not the only supernaturals in town. There are other gifted teens who have different motives. And they are hoping to get close enough to the Mystyx to convert them—and the world—to Darkness…”
I’m super excited about this series. This series I have been following from the very beginning and have love it. While I enjoyed this book, I felt like there is something missing. I think its cause I wasn’t able to really connect to Lindsey as well as I could with the other mystyx group. Still, the book is good. If you haven’t read the series I suggest you do. Ms. Arthur writes about teens with a real life, with a hint of something paranormal.
In this book, the reader meet Lindsey. After moving again, Lindsey is immediately thrown in a world of choas. I liked Lindsey. She wasn’t stuck up or mean. She really just wanted some stability. I don’t think I connected well with this character cause I couldn’t grasp her connection with the other mystyx characters. It was like she was just thrown in the mix. It took a few chapters before I could find myself understanding Lindsey and where she came from. Lindsey is fierce and strong. She catches on fast and becomes one of the group before you know it. I really like how Ms. Arthur brought some interesting characters from the first book I thought were gone! I gasp once the secret was out and thought “WOAH!”
This story doesn’t only cover Lindsey’s story but also covers what is going on with the other mystyx characters. I miss my other books friends and it was good to see them fighting against evil all together. Once again, more questions were raised as others were answered. You can tell in this book that the enemy is getting stronger and ready to attack. Not just a small attack but a full on final battle. Each character has face their demon and the final showdown is coming! I can’t wait to read how it is all going to end!!!
Mesmeriz is a good book! Filled with lots of battles, death, and adding a new mystyx to the group, the group is getting stronger. With the forces combine and done with the petty fighting, the mystyx group is ready! EEEEP!
I give it 4 BITES!
Happy Reading!
I’ve never heard of this book. The series sounds very interesting though. Can’t say much for the cover.
It not a series that is seen much, but I enjoy it.
