THE ONE DISCOVERED by Yvette M Calleiro
First
off, the book cover Rocks. The green eyelashes really make the eye POP.
This is a typical YA plot where a young girl discovers that her
whole life has been a lie, and there’s more to her world than she knows. Just
before her 18th birthday, Sofia is approached by step-brothers
Angel and Ar’ch who claim she is The One: the savior for their world and also
her own. She is strongly attracted to Ar’ch, the dark, mysterious sexy
stranger, which causes her to question her true feelings for her long-term
boyfriend, Rafe. What will be the consequences of her actions?
There are some original concepts in this story, like the flecks of
colors in the Diasodz’s eyes, which I assume designate the elemental powers
that they harness. I also like the tattoos that become real weapons. The
storyline kept me wanting to finish the book, but the writing itself is stilted
and lacks any spark. None of the characters have unique voices, so as the POV
bounces around from one to another, they all sound the same. This is one of the
biggest problems with using multiple POV’s.
I did read the first chapter of the 2nd book, and
the writing seems to have improved, so hopefully the author is learning as she
goes. But I doubt I will read it.
This is a fun, average read, and if you like YA books, you will
like this one too. I give it 3 feathers.
