Summary: Awesome read!
Review: Gracie has premonitions, visions. She's had them since before her mother's death. She does not want them, hates them, and has no idea what to do about them. Still grieving for her mother, Gracie lives with Aunt Shay and Shay's son, Diego. Aunt Shay and Diego have been tip toeing around Gracie, giving her time to adjust to living with them and to mourn.

Then Gracie's best friend, Emily, disappears. The police have no clues at all. Gracie, with the support of Aunt Shay and Diego, must quickly learn not to avoid her visions, but try to make them happen. Emily's life, as well as several others, depend on it!

***** Author Jude Watson is mostly known for her young adult series in the Star Wars universe. But every now and then the author take a few months out to write to write science fiction in OUR universe. Here is one and it was worth the wait! If you have ever wished to have the power of premonitions, this story will cure you of it. Hang onto your seat. It is going to be a bumpy ride! *****

Summary: For fans of surreal fiction
Review: Gracie knows when bad things are about to happen. Or sometimes when they've already happened. She begged her mother not to board the plane that crashed, and now, living in Washington with her aunt Shay, Gracie has visions that involve her best friend Emily. Gracie would prefer that her psychic powers didn't exist, but when Emily disappears, she has to use every vision she gets as a clue to solving the mystery.

The problem with Gracie's visions is that she doesn't know exactly what she's seeing. Sometimes she sees the past, sometimes the present, and sometimes she misinterprets her visions completely. Assisted by her cousin Diego, Gracie follows her visions in hopes of finding Emily. After a few false starts and a little research, she finds Emily's trail and is taken captive by Emily's kidnapper. Trapped in a guarded house, Gracie has to use her visions as well as her wits to save herself and the others held by a disillusioned madman.

Fans of supernatural mysteries may find PREMONITIONS to be a good read, but those who aren't particularly interested in the genre will find it too predictable and jagged. Gracie is unlikable and obnoxious, though her aunt and cousin are interesting and well developed. The kidnapper's motives are supposed to be sympathetic but come out laughable and melodramatic. Recommended solely for die-hard fans of surreal literature.

Summary: Great Book and Fantastic Adventure
Review: This story is about a girl, Gracie, who can see into the future. Her mother died a year ago in a terrible car crash, and since then she has had to live with her Aunt Shay, who she doesn't like at all. When her best friend Emily disappears one day, she must use her powers to same her friend before it's too late. The
combination of the characters set the mood for the book. Zed is a mysterious character, and he makes the mysteries in the book more exciting. I found myself guessing who has done what and what would happen next, but I never seemed to guess correctly. Watson always surprised me with the turn of events. My favorite part of the book was the growing relationship between Gracie and
Diego. They're friendship proved the Gracie was becoming more independent after her loss. This idea for a book was very neat, and Watson did a great job of portraying it.

This is a great book and a fantastic adventure story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and a little bit of mystery. There were only a few profanities but I still think the language would be suitable for an 11 year old or above. The idea for the book was neat, but may be hard to understand for some readers.
