But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget?įrom popular young adult author Jessica Brody comes a compelling and suspenseful new sci-fi series, set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten. Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. And she’s running out of time to answer them. But with every clue only comes more questions. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world.Ĭrippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. She has no memories of her life before the crash. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage-alive-is making headlines across the globe.Įven more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane.
We meet some cardboard characters, discover plot complications that don’t really hang together, and are assailed by developments that are far-fetched or just plain silly.Įvaluation: Can you believe it? Book One of a trilogy that I just won’t be pursuing….When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. This initially promising set-up quickly degrades thanks to improbable and not well-drawn explanations that attempt to clarify who Violet is and where she came from.
But she doesn’t know whom to believe or whom to trust, with the exception of the most (and possibly only) appealing and fully realized character in the book, 13-year-old Cody, Violet’s foster brother. The hospital personnel start calling her Violet because of her unusual eye color, and soon arrange for a nice foster family, the Carlsons, to take care of her until she gets her memory back.īefore that happens, Violet keeps encountering a boy named “Zen” (for Lyzender) who tells her he is trying to save her from evil enemies, and that she must come away with him.
The book starts off intriguingly enough, with a 16-year-old girl who is the only survivor of a plane crash, and who remembers nothing – not even her name. Note: There are no spoilers in this review.
