This is like, the best book I've read since... Uhh.. The Girl in the Steel Corset!!
Clarity was such a yummy story, I literally just ATE IT UP.
Course, I also have a thing for murder mysteries, not to mention the two very hot boys that are fighting for Clare.... And the excellent cliffhanger at the end. (Okay, it wasn't that much of a cliffhanger, but it was enough to toss me over the edge.)
There is no doubt I will continue reading this series!

"My family. I'm a psychic. My brother's a medium. My mother's a telepath. Tourists love us. Townies scorn us."
This was a fun little mystery.
I loved the idea of three family members with different talents working together. Clare - or Clarity - can touch something and (sometimes) get a reading. Her mom can sense your thoughts. And her brother, he can talk to ghosts - if they choose to talk to him or are around. The three of them together form a "reading" that you can pay to receive.
But then murders start happening in their town. Murders, to start, of a young tourist.
I found Clare fun to read. I liked Perry as well as an unlikely sidekick. Nate was a good best friend. I also liked Justin . Gabriel....
together, this cast of characters, the fun paranormal and an interesting murder mystery pulled together into a perfect story for me. I loved it.

I'm not 100% sold him on yettogether, this cast of characters, the fun paranormal and an interesting murder mystery pulled together into a perfect story for me. I loved it.
I kept avoiding this book but I finally read it. And I loved it!!!!
I mean the romance, mystery, and romance... perfect! I mean there was a background to it as well. I mean family love and facing her fears. Perfect book.
Even the love triangle is different. The exotic Gabriel and her ex Justin who cheated on her. I understand how she couldn't forgive him. The whole reality made me love this book even more.
This is now one of my favorite books ever. And I absolutely can't wait for the next one. March 2012? Seriously?
Awesome debut novel!

Awesome debut novel!
This book was a nice spin on the typical mystery and the typical paranormal, blending the two into a simple, yet compelling story. The characters were well-drawn and believable and I'm left intrigued about what other trouble Clarity will find in book two!
I've had this e-book since forever, and I never got the chance to check it out! But since I am a night owl, I gave it a try, and it was pretty good!
Clarity "Clare" Fern is a psychic, she can watch past memories when she touches objects. Her life has never been normal and her gift is not a secret. She, her brother, and her mother offer readings to tourists. Her brother is a medium, connecting to spirits when they are in the room. And her mother is a telepathic, she can read exactly what a person thinks at that same moment.
Clare is annoyed at how the locals treat her, and how they call her a psycho. When her ex-boyfriend, Justin asks her to help the police investigate the murder of a teenage 18-year-old girl, Clare jumps at the chance to use her power for something good. And what's even better? She gets to work with the new trainee detective, the hot Gabriel.
But as Clare and Gabriel unfold the mysteries surrounding this case, Clare gets some information that she doesn't want to know. Now, on top of all her work, she has to protect her family, too. Clare would do anything to protect her brother and mother, she'd lie, she'd use people, maybe she'd even kill! There is not limits, but who will save her when a murderer is our for her blood?
Will Clare find out who killed the young teen? Will she be able to keep her family together? Who will she choose: The loyal Justin, or the hot-and-cold Gabriel? Find out the answers when you read the intriguing adventure of Clare in the first book in the series, Clarity...
I liked this book, I'll start with the good parts. The author created a wonderful mystery, you will bite your fingernails off while trying to know who is the murderer. OK, so now for what I didn't like: The storyline is a typical paranormal recipe, add a beautiful heroine, add two guys who are head over heels in it for her, create a love triangle, etc.... I am beginning to get disgusted of love triangles. But I didn't hate it that much, because I LOVED Justin, he is so loyal and loves Clare so much, I was hoping that she would choose him!
Another thing that I didn't like was the setting, the author created something like this:
" She drove from street (a name) to street ( a name), then she turned right to street (another name) and stopped in front of the intersection between street (a name) and street (a name)" Gosh! I am not living in USA, how can I know which street is the one she is talking about? I got tired of the street names, but altogether it was forgivable...
If you want an enjoyable and exhilarating mystery, with an ending you won't see coming! Then you should read Clarity, which is only the first book. The second book, Perception, is out! I can't wait to get my hands on it...
This was a quick, fun read with good humor as well. I hope there will be more stories about Clarity.
I absolutely loved this book!! It has a strong, funny, fabulous main character, suspense, hot boys, and a fantastic plot that will keep your eyes glued to each page.
We start off with Clarity "Clare" Fern and her family, who are psychics. They live in a town along the ocean and using their "powers" have become their job. Her mother can read peoples thoughts, her brother can speak to spirits, and Clare can touch a persons object and see the past. When a tourist is murdered and her brother becomes a main suspect, Clare's ex-boyfriend Justin asks her to help solve the case. She accepts and with the help of the yummy new detective's son, Gabriel, plus Justin they begin to piece the clues together. But things aren't always what they seem, even if you are a psychic.
I loved this book! I loved the characters! And I loved the plot! It was fantastic. Clare is such a strong person and I was so intrigued by her ability. I can see where it DEFINITELY can cause problems though. Gabriel... Phew you sexy boy. How could you not want to work along side him? He has demons of his own to overcome but he was a great character. I loved Clare's family as well, they are always there for her, as she is for them. Finally, Justin. I loved him!!! I think Clare made a right decision, and truthfully I don't know if I'd be able to forgive him either, but I still love him! Justin is good looking, caring, protective, and seems like a down right good guy. Yes he made a mistake, a huge one, but everyone makes mistakes. Gabriel is hot but I'm all team Justin. :)
This book will have you guessing until the very end. The plot moves along fabulously and it's a sexy murder mystery that I'm sure you will love! I cannot wait until the next book!! 10 stars out of 5!

Die Story war ganz okay, aber trotzdem nichts, das mir länger im Gedächtnis bleiben wird.
Really good. Haven't read a murder mystery in awhile, though it was rather short. Hope this is the start of a new series.
