Review for Gifted (Broken Soul #1) by Jenny Phillips: ★★★

Gifted by Jenny Phillips

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

This is a beautiful cover and initially it was the blurb that compelled me to read it.
Gifted starts out quite slow and I was beginning to think that it wasn't actually going to be something for me! I love YA books but somehow I felt like this was missing it's mark. It was still enjoyable but it's definitely aimed at the YA market and not for an older audience, the typical teenage attitude grated on me somewhat.

However, once the pace began to pick up I did find myself enjoying it and towards the end I was actually looking forward to finding out what happens next. The ending will definitely have you reaching for the next book, it's some cliffhanger.

Blurb

Plagued by recurring dreams of a faceless, yet strangely familiar man, and struggling to adapt to unique powers, Morgan Cauldwell moves halfway across the country to Manchester Academy. Once at MAC, Morgan meets the mysterious Chase Thomas. He knows more about Morgan than she knows about herself, and through him, Morgan learns she is Gifted. With the help of Chase and the Gifted Council, Morgan begins to learn how to control and develop the powers that have kept her isolated her whole life.

While the mysteries of her dream man begin to unfold, Morgan’s powers quickly surpass even the Council’s expectations. But how much power should one person be allowed to possess…and at what price? Morgan finds herself face to face with her worst nightmares, where nothing is as it seems and not all Gifted are content with the powers they’ve been given.
