Reviewed on Hearts On Fire... http://heartsonfirereviews.com/

I was immediately pulled into this wonderful and well written first book in what I am hoping will be a dynamic series. Gray is living in a black hole hating his job, moving from one meaningless fling to another and fighting to avoid his gift of precognition. His grandfather is killed and Gray inherits his grandfather's houseboat and its dazzling handsome boarder Cooper. Although only eighteen and illiterate, Cooper is wise for his age and has a talent all his own. The duo soon take to the river on a journey to learn and discover how to use their particular gifts. A letter left behind by Gray's grandfather urges the older Gray it learn how to use his precognition gift as his grandfather used his precog. The two men soon discover that the gifted are a very secretive group and not everyone wants them around. Gray and Cooper are terrific main characters and their easy companionship and growing love adds a lot of depth to this paranormal mystery story. The secondary characters are colorful and more than a little quirky. Mr. Fenraven did an excellent job of slowly peeling back the layers of both Gray's and Cooper's gifts instead of just plopping them in their laps. The story read very well and went quickly but kept me interested. Being the first in a series, this was the set up book and so was a little light on the mystery and precog information. I expect that Mr. Fenraven will masterfully remedy that in the next installment due out in a few months. The only thing that really bothered me about the book was the "To Be Continued" ending. That is a total turn off for me especially when the next book is not yet available. I heartily recommend this engaging book but would advise potential readers to wait until the second installment is out before beginning this book so that the story line stays fresh. ( )

4.5 stars.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this story. I've never read anything by this author before and I wasn't sure where it would go. Well, needless to say, considering I started this one late last night and finished it this morning...it was pretty darn good lol.

Any story where the characters grab me, and won't let me go is a good one. And these grabbed me so strongly that I've already rushed out and bought the next two books, because I have to know what happens next. I loved the hint of suspense, although I'll admit to wanting to hit Gray upside the head at one point and tell him to open his eyes...

So, on to the next one, because honestly, I need more of these two guys! ( )

I really enjoyed the mixture in this story. Gray is a regular guy with an unusual talent that he's ignored most of his life. He is now finding he'd better learn how to handle that talent quickly because it has put him in danger. I liked how the otherwise unlikely connection between Gray and Cooper was explained as well. The secondary characters are very colorful.

An extremely quick read. I am glad the rest of the stories in the series are available now or the ending would have made me a bit annoyed! :0)

A great introduction to Theo's writing that definitely made me interested to read more of his work! ( )
