Sight
by Juliet Madison
**You can see this full review and more at Book Briefs: http://bookbriefs.net**Sight is the first book in the Delcarta Sister's series. And I am not 100% sure the shape that the series is going to take, but this is how I hope it goes- There are 5 sisters. One set of twins and one set of triplets. Each one of them has premonitions featuring one of the five senses. This book focused on Savannah and and development of all of their gifts. Savannah has the gift of sight, but the cool thing is that if they all join hands, they can complete the vision through all of their senses. So I hope in future books that the sisters all stay together, and are all featured. Maybe with a different sister taking lead in each. Sight is a really, really cool concept. This book was a very short and quick read that kind of set the ground work for the situation I just described. It is a young adult paranormal series with a cute romance to boot.
I will tell you a little secret. Other than Savannah, I had a bit of a hard time telling the rest of the sisters apart. I couldn't keep their names straight, and I couldn't really distinguish their personalities. So the biggest hope that I have for the next book is that some time is really spent on making each of the sister's their own person. They all kind of seemed the same, but I am sure that isn't the case. I want to see more subtleties, details and differences come out in their personality in the next book in the series. I think that would help enrich the story even more.
I did really like the concept of the five of them having to be together to get a complete vision of the future. Savannah could only see what was going on, she couldn't hear it. Or taste it. Or smell things in the background. That being said, I think there are clear winners and not such winner as far as the senses go in this case. I would love sight or hearing, but I could pass on smell. Especially in most of the visions they got. But not only did Sight lay a good framework for future books, but there was a neat little mystery of an arsonist for the girls to solve. I thought Sight was good, but I think there is potential for the next books to be even better because they can explore the sisters as individuals more and give them a little more dimension. I also want to see more of Savannah and her beau. This review was originally posted on Book Briefs
