THE ONE DISCOVERED by Yvette M Calleiro

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.
