OUTVIEW
by Brandt Legg
Several years after his father died from an unexpected
heart attack, sixteen year old Nathan Ryder started having “outivews”, living traumatic,
painful deaths of people from the past. Fearing
for his sanity, not wanting to end up in a mental institution like his older brother
Dustin, Nate keeps his problem a secret, until the “outviews” start happening
during the day. He finally decides to
let his best friends, Kyle and Linh, in on his secret. Between them, they start unraveling the truth
about the “outviews” and the death of Nate’s father. Was it a heart attack, or murder? Unknowingly, their search into the truth
alerts a government agency, and now they’re running for their lives, trying to
stay alive. But all they want is Nathan,
because he’s one of the Seven.
The plot of this wonderfully written story resonates in
my inner being, as I’ve always believed in reincarnation and the mental
abilities that we, as humans, have forgotten in our pursuit of greed and
power. I’m not sure I believe in multiple
incarnations at the same time, but who knows; maybe I’ve run across myself
before and never knew it. I do know that
my late husband and I shared several past lives together.
Between a budding love interest, betrayal by a trusted
friend and the relentless pursuit of the government, this story kept me very
involved. I loved all the unique
characters Nathan met in his search for who he really is and what abilities he possesses. This is the first book in the series and it
ended with me wanting to know more. If
you love young adult stories, with a mixture of paranormal and intrigue, this
book is for you. I give it 5 feathers.
