Yet, in spite of these recurrent shortcomings, Derting has a talent for building suspense into the action that keeps you turning the pages. In addition, the science fiction/paranormal aspects are dangerously close to being over the top. But Kyra’s “new” life is fraught with danger and mystery, nothing is what it seems to be, and except for Tyler, she doesn’t know who can be trusted.ĭiscussion: I like Kimberly Derting, although this first book of a new series displays some of the same flaws as her “Body Finder” series, such as an unrealistically perfect boyfriend. Her only ally is her former boyfriend’s adorable younger brother, Tyler, who now looks a year older than Kyra, and who of course always had a crush on her. Her boyfriend and best friend are off at college (and they are together now), her parents are divorced, her mom is remarried, and her dad seems to have gone off his rocker. She hasn’t aged a bit, but everyone around her has, and clearly time has passed for them even if it has not for her. The next thing she knows, she wakes up behind a dumpster and it is five years later. Sixteen-year-old Kyra Agnew has a fight with her dad on the way home from a softball game, and insists he let her out of the car so she can walk the rest of the way.
