It all started with a single golden envelope addressed to Beth. "You are more than you think you are." That's all the letter has to say to her. Then the visions start, and Beth has no idea what to make of them. She sees lines, knots, and ropes, different types surrounding each person. And now when she touches someone she sees their darkest secrets.
The envelopes keep coming, and things get crazier. Each envelope is more confusing than the last, offering little explanation for what's happening. Beth doesn't know what's going on, and she's beginning to think she's crazy, as is everyone around her. What exactly is she?
THE SEVEN RAYS brought a completely new concept into young adult literature, forming a new twist on the average paranormal tale. The reader is just as lost as Beth, but the story is pieced together eventually. The pacing is just right; there's always a new bit of information or some crazy occurrence right when things are slowing down. The entire premise was exciting, and though the ending was rather rushed, it still held my interest.
Beth is fairly immature, but she's still a likable character. Her love interest, Richie, is quite exciting! Although an original bad boy, I felt that he truly changed for Beth. Their relationship was rather sudden, but I still found it to be believable.
THE SEVEN RAYS offers a fresh take on an old subject. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good paranormal read.
