I read this three years ago, but I suddenly have the urge to reread it, and that doesn't happen quite often with books I've read. Now that I think about it, I feel as if I should give this 5 stars. The pure enjoyment that I felt reading this was immense.
-----------------------------------------------
I read Dark Visions some time ago. I dived into the book of L.J. Smith (author of vampire diaries), not expecting by far anything, since I borrowed the book from the library to consume time. And time unquestionable did pass when I read Dark Visions. I had finished the book briskly, all three in the trilogy, without an ounce of boredom or weariness clutching in my emotions. Once complete, I was left with a ‘book hangover’ for a while. I was unable to read another book until I got over living in the Dark Visions world.
A little description of what Dark visions is about.
This Trilogy follows the adventures of five psychics who are fortunate and cursed because of their power. Five of the teens are invited to live together in a purple mansion called "The Institute" which is offered by Mr.Zetes to enhance their powers and be given the scholarship of a life time.
Yet, there’s a catch…
You’ll discover what that happens to be if you ever decide to pick this up.
When I read the synopsis, it did sound comparable to other YA books being printed too often. Although Dark Visions lacked in complete originality, it made up with entertainment.
For me the plot was the thinnest bit predictable, nevertheless, it never irritated me as the book was gratifyingly written. My eyes skimmed through pages energetically, and they stayed absolutely glued to the pages for one day.
I treasured each of the characters. None were self-centred or selfish except…well, Gabriel. But everyone has to make an exception for him as he strongly develops during the course of the trilogy.
I may despise love triangles, but I'm willing to exclude this. Gabriel and Rob were entirely distinct from each other. Both of whom held entirely different backgrounds that led to their very different behaviour and actions. Gabriel and Rob weren’t going insane and completely bonkers over Kaitlyn like many typical YA love interests, who are ridiculously obsessed with the heroine, so that was a plus.
Yes, read this.

I started reading it July second, but I did not have any internet until now. Great book, definitely one of my favourites.
i really liked this book (more of a 3.5 rating). the plot was intriguing and kept me reading as i wanted to find out what happens but at times i found my self doubting whether or not i actually liked these characters. i thought out of the three books that the first one was the best, but definitely worth reading all three. all in all i dont regret reading this book and i did enjoy it quite a bit! there is another series by L.J. Smith that i wantde to read - the forbidden game - and i still really want to read it after i read this series. her style of writing good, not one of my favourites, but i still like it!! this book is worth the read and i will be recommending it to some of my friends!!

I think it was a good book. Definitely rushed in the end and jumped around but the characters were interesting. It’s an interesting story but I think it could be written better.
