Burden of the Soul
I haven't gotten very far into this book, but I'm hooked. On Clara's, the main character, birthday, a blinding white light comes into their apartment. Clara's mom orders Clara to hide, and Clara hides, but has to watch her Mom be taken by this light. Clara and her Dad separate and move, each taking a floor in their new house, and rarely crossing paths. Clara has frequent dreams about someone named Devin, but we do not know who he is. Clara's aunt, Grace, is the same 'type' of person Clara's mom is, but we do not know why the light wanted to take Clara.Th.is book is very suspenseful. It adds a twist of romance, and friendship troubles as her best, and only, friend is moving up, gaining popularity, and leaves Clara in the dark.

Kate,
ReplyDeleteThis book sound very interesting! It seems that Clara's struggles are realistic and similar to that of any teenage girl but aren't the main focus of the plot. For that reason, the book appeals to my taste that much more. Is the plot developing quickly? I tend to go for fast moving books and if it is, I will definitely give Burden of the Soul a try!
Wow! I love coming across readers' reactions to Burden on the Web. I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Let me know what you think when you've finished!

This book seems interesting and that it would easily make you keep reading, along with the different layers and depths that it sounds like book also offers. Along with Amy's comment it seems like Clara's life is very realistic to a teenage girl today. It also sounds like the beginning of the book pulls you into it instead of being a boring introduction, since you said that you've only just started it but you're hooked. Burden of the Soul sounds like a very good book so far and maybe I'll read it!
