Don't get me wrong, if ever there was an excuse for a love triangle in a book, this book gets it. And part of it, too, was - OH GOOD GOD with the love triangle already. Her voice was a big part of the reason I liked the series in the first place. And part of me even thinks that, given all she went through in book 1, it kind of made sense for her to be a little.
Strong Clarity somehow lapsed into an average YA heroine, caught between 2 boys and the popular and unpopular groups. Her sassiness peaked through and definitely became more pronounced as the story went on, but for awhile she became just a little more typical, a little more predictable, and that made me sad. In Perception, she lost some of what made her stand out from the rest of the YA pack. In the first book, she reminded me so much of Veronica Mars - as this sassy, really smart, no nonsense, strong girl - and I loved that. The book - and Clare - seemed somewhat lacking in spirit. There were times when, I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed. And though I think Perception suffered a bit from sophomore slumpage, I have to say, it was nice being back in her world. I couldn't wait to get back into Clare's world. I loved Clare's voice and Harrington's breezy, engaging storytelling. I read Clarity last year for HH, and was pleasantly surprised to find that all of the people that pushed it on me were right. Perception was one of my eagerly-awaited books of 2012.
Because the messages are becoming sinister, and a girl in town has suddenly disappeared. Clare needs to solve this mystery, and soon. Could they be from Gabriel, the gorgeous boy who gets Clare's pulse racing? Or from Justin, Clare's hopeful ex-boyfriend who'd do anything to win her back? Messages and gifts from a secret admirer crop up everywhere Clare turns. Her gift is not a game to her.īut then someone starts playing with her head. Only Clare would rather not be a celebrity. She's the psychic girl in school, the one who can place her hands on something and see hidden visions from the past.
When you can see things others can't, what do you do when someone's watching you?Įverybody knows about Clarity "Clare" Fern.
