Farsighted by Emlyn Chand Blog Tour



Review by Goodreads:



Alex Kosmitoras’s life has never been easy. The only other student who will talk to him is the school bully, his parents are dead-broke and insanely overprotective, and to complicate matters even more, he's blind. Just when he thinks he'll never have a shot at a normal life, a new girl from India moves into town. Simmi is smart, nice, and actually wants to be friends with Alex. Plus she smells like an Almond Joy bar. Yes, sophomore year might not be so bad after all.

Unfortunately, Alex is in store for another new arrival—an unexpected and often embarrassing ability to “see” the future. Try as he may, Alex is unable to ignore his visions, especially when they begin to suggest that Simmi is in danger. With the help of the mysterious psychic next door and new friends who come bearing gifts of their own, Alex must embark on a journey to change his future.

My Review:

I really enjoyed this book by Emlyn Chand.  I thought Alex was just adorable! He did not let his blindness interfere with living his life. I really loved the way Ms. Chand developed the characters throughout the story. 

When Alex meets Simmi and refers to her smelling like an Almond Joy bar I actually laughed out loud. I saw Simmi as being soft spoken, caring and very thoughtful.  I think she is just what Alex needs! I am very excited about this story and really think that everyone is going to enjoy it.  I always very much enjoy a book that gives you the "hero trying to save the girl" and that is what I really enjoyed with this story. 

I really look forward to seeing what Ms. Chand has in store for us in the future and everyone needs to follow her closely!

New Review!

Hushed - by Kelley York

He’s saved her. He’s loved her. He’s killed for her.
Eighteen‐year‐old Archer couldn’t protect his best friend, Vivian, from what happened when they were
kids, so he’s never stopped trying to protect her from everything else. It doesn’t matter that Vivian only
uses him when hopping from one toxic relationship to another—Archer is always there, waiting to be
noticed.
Then along comes Evan, the only person who’s ever cared about Archer without a single string attached.
The harder he falls for Evan, the more Archer sees Vivian for the manipulative hot‐mess she really is.
But Viv has her hooks in deep, and when she finds out about the murders Archer’s committed and his
relationship with Evan, she threatens to turn him in if she doesn’t get what she wants… And what she
wants is Evan’s death, and for Archer to forfeit his last chance at redemption.

 

My review:

I have to admit that this book really surprised me!  It was nothing compared to what I usually read.  I did enjoy reading this story by Ms. York though.  It takes you into a totally different world.  I actually liked reading about Archer and how his mind saw things and comprehended things.  I guess what I mean by this is that it was just coming from a very different perspective than I am use to and it was very interesting.  I would have to say that Archer is a very passionate person and he truly believes that what he is doing is justified. Evan was also interesting to read about.  I saw him as the "voice of reason" in some aspects of the story.  Let's just say that he sees the good in Archer and is loyal to his friend.

I would very much recommend this book to everyone.  Give it a chance and you may be surprised!  I want to thank Kelley York and everyone responsible for allowing me the advanced copy of this book to assist me in this review.  I very much look forward to any other projects Ms. York has planned for the future.
