Foreseen by Terri-Lynne Smiles7/3/2023 "First time author Smiles has devised a convincing supernatural culture. The Kirkus Review calls Foreseen “A worthy sci-fi thriller à la Dean Koontz,” concluding that “Smiles has proven that she’s skilled at crafting a nuanced page turner.” “Foreseen” is an adventurous twist of genre, much recommended. She bears an unexpected power that rivals Rothston’s own … and the clash may be something none of them can control. But Kinzie brings more than her remarkable talent to Rothston. A student missing an exam? A construction worker fired for an industrial accident? A Congressman ruined in scandal? Necessary consequences of honing her skills for the greater good. Having discovered that she possesses these special skills, college student Kinzie Nicolosi is training to assist Rothston in protecting humankind from destruction. The Rothston Institute can secretly manipulate the decisions of anyone in the world – from ordinary friends to government leaders – using the abilities of its operatives known as adepts. A secret organization, four college students, and the ability to alter quantum states with their minds.

However, this one I think would be better for people under the age of 19.Īdmittedly, I did expect she was going to be a teenager enamored of a fictional character - but the behavior reminded me of when my kid sister was one of those obsessed teenage girls swooning over Edward or Jacob from Twilight. I read a lot of young adult books and most I consider to be enjoyable for adults as well as teens. I do feel the description on the back of the book could use some improving so the reader would know before they purchase it just what kind of 'young adult' book they could be in for. Oddly enough even though I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. As it progressed past page 50 I was in serious doubt. From page two I was already wandering if this book was going to be for me.

The artistic touch of Guillermo Mordillo graced this year’s poster for Cartoons on the Bay, which celebrated its 10th birthday. He wrote, The highest goal that man can achieve is amazement. He did not believe in absolute knowledge, but in amazement. Goethe believed that the world was a revelation read by our senses. The eyes combine senses and affection into a homeland. The eye spreads light gently in the retina, across blood and long-stemmed nerves that resemble frilled balloons or leggy trees of bladder kelp. We use our eyes’ refined sense of vision to admire the work of Titian or the Grand Canyon bathed in the copper light of a summer sunset. The human eye is capable of perceiving seven to ten million colors through a synaptic flash. They are deep, resonant mysteries with boundless subjectivity. The colors blue and red are the most profound. The colors blue and red are the closest in color to the eyes of a goshawk. I have suffered a reduction in mental acuity, so I decided to acquire some basic motor and tactile skills like pushing around cool, gooey paint in mindless, repetitive motions to prepare for that newly vacated space between the ears.
