Glimpse by Stacey Wallace Benefiel


Overview by B&N

Glimpse: Zellie Wells has a devastating crush on Avery Adams, the son of her mom’s high school sweetheart. At her sixteenth birthday party, held in the basement of her dad’s church, she finally finds the courage to talk to him. Turns out, the devastating crush is mutual.

As Avery takes her hand and leads her out onto the makeshift dance floor, Zellie is overwhelmed by her first vision of his death; shocking because not only are they both covered in his blood, but they’re old, like 35, and she is pregnant.

Afraid to tell anyone about the vision, (she’d just be labeled a freaky black magic witch, right?) Zellie keeps the knowledge of Avery’s future to herself and tries to act like any other teenager in love. When they get caught on their way to a secret rendezvous by her mom and his dad, they are forbidden to see each other.

Convinced that their parents are freaking out unnecessarily, Avery and Zellie vow to be together no matter what. They continue their relationship in secret until Zellie learns that their parents are just trying to prevent her and Avery from suffering like they did. The visions are hereditary, they’re dangerous, and if they stay together the visions will come true.

Now Zellie must choose between severing all ties with Avery, like her mom did to prevent his father’s death, and finding a way to change Avery’s future.

Review by the Bookworm

Okay, the biggest rating I can give OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Okay, this lady has so got me entranced!  This is a self published novel and has no errors that I seen!  It is so fan-flippingtastic that I so wish the other books were free!  I'd love to review them!  Yep, another trilogy!

Glimpse is the story of Zellie Wells and her true love Avery Adams.  Neither know the other is infactuated with the other until her sixteenth birthday party.  Avery asks her to dance, and boom, Zellie has a vision of the future of a very dead Avery and a very pregnant Zellie.

Without giving away the plot, big, and I'm talking BIG stuff happens to throw Zellie and Avery for a loop.  Even to the point you want to smack Avery upside his head.  Zellie starts to learn how to control her powers with help from a very surprising source.

If you can, GRAB THIS BOOK!!!!!!  It is well worth the read!!!!!!  Has quickly gone to my favorites list.  Miss Stacey is going to be next month's AOTM!

Loves!
The Bookworm!
