From Me…
After finishing this book, I felt like I had read a solid YA almost scifi book from a talented author. The plot was well structured and the writing was very good. I did not feel overly passionate about the book, but sometimes that just happens. Though not a requirement, I think it would be helpful to read this book as a soccer fan. I have never really been into soccer, so I think that fact dampened my experience of this book.
I had only a few problems with the book, and they were minor. I did feel like the dialogue was a little off. Though teenagers should and do talk in a different manner than adults, for some reason these teenagers seemed too trendy. Maybe it was my adult brain reading cliche teen phrases and being annoyed by their very existence in the world, but I did not enjoy that aspect of the characters.
Also, I’m not a science buff. The author did a wonderful job of explaining the concepts in an interesting and understandable way, but I personally don’t really get into science. If Eric had a knack for writing or reading I would have been all in. 🙂
This is a cute easy read with lots of fun and intriguing plot twists.

About the
book: Eric Horton finds himself plagued by
terrible nightmares of explosions, fire, and someone screaming. The more they
occur, the more real they seem, causing him to question whether they’re just
harmless dreams or foreshadowing of a dark and devastating future.

And that’s not the only strange thing happening. On the
soccer field, he’s been in the zone, saving shot after shot with what feels
like a supernatural awareness of where the ball is going to go next. Then
there’s the connection he feels with Renee, the hot new student from France.
It’s as if he’s known her forever.

It’s as if he’s known her forever.
Still, all these wild visions and synchronicities pale in
comparison to the strange experiments Renee’s dad is cooking up in the
University physics lab. When he asks Eric to serve as a test subject, Eric must
again question whether what he’s seeing and hearing is reality—or something far
beyond it.

When his best friend Will starts drinking way too much and
Renee has eyes for other guys, Eric loses the edge he’s always had in the goal,
and confidence in himself. If he’s going to pull it together, Eric must tap
into a part of himself that he never knew existed, and that might just be the
part that connects us all.

Richardson wasn’t always a writer, but she was always a reader. Her favorite
book growing up was A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine
L’Engle. In a weird way that book even shaped her life through odd
synchronicities. She has a degree in Biology like Mrs. Murry and without
realizing it she named her children Alex and Katie after Meg’s parents! Tracy
uses her science background in her writing through her emphasis on environment
issues and metaphysics. When she’s not writing you’ll find her doing any number
of creative activities – painting furniture, knitting sweaters or cooking up
something in the kitchen for her vegetarian, carnivore and no-carb
family. She lives outside of Indianapolis with her husband and two
children and their Jack Russell terrier, Ernie. Connect with Tracy on
her website, Facebook, or GoodReads.
