Iris Kohl lives in a world populated by murky shadows that surround, harass, and entice unsuspecting individuals toward evil. But she is the only one who can see them. She’s had this ability to see the shadows, as well as brilliantly glowing light figures, ever since an obscure, tragic incident on her fourteenth birthday three years earlier.
Although she’s learned to cope, the view of her world begins to shift upon the arrival of three mysterious characters. First, a handsome new teacher whose presence scares away shadows; second, a new friend with an awe-inspiring aura; and third, a mysterious and alluring new student whom Iris has a hard time resisting despite already having a boyfriend.
As the shadows invade and terrorize her own life and family, she must ultimately revisit the most horrific event of her life in order to learn her true identity and become the hero she was meant to be.
Dusty has written a novel with well developed characters that takes you through a roller coaster of emotions. I was hooked within the first few chapters and had to know what caused Iris to see the shadows and light on her 14th birthday.
Iris is a teenager that sees dark shadows over people and a few people with light. Enter Josh and Patrick, two guys vying for her attention. Kyra, the new girl in town, is surrounded by light and seems to have the ability to affect the shadows. Iris’ family also plays a large role in the development of the story.
The high school setting is realistic with the handsome male teacher we all had in school, the two best friends and the boy you have a crush on.
The novel reminded me of the spiritual warfare around us and makes you think about what is going on in the lives of the people you see every day but don’t ‘really’ see. The book deals with many high school issues and is not just a fluff read. I really enjoyed the twist at the end and highly recommend you read the book before someone ruins it for you. I had my questions answered although the book ends with you anticipating a sequel.
