Beginnings: Family Heritage Volume 1 by Andrew M. Ferrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author has revised Beginnings, Part 1 of the Family Heritage Series, and I love it. There’s romance, supernatural powers, and an ominous society looming in the wings.

Description

Mike is a normal teenage boy, at least he was until he started getting raging headaches that came with an ability to see future events. At first, he wants to just fade into the background, spontaneously saving several teachers and besting the star quarterback in a fist fight is bound to get the high school rumor mill going. Add to that a rekindled friendship with an old friend he’s been crushing on – who just happens to be the head cheerleader and newly ex-girlfriend of said star quarterback – and Mike’s anonymous status is a thing of the past. Little does he know, but the powers he’s coming into are part of a long and prestigious family heritage, and the secret society who seeks to control all those with powers have an eye on Mike, with plans of their own.

Review

It’s all the makings of a YA supernatural suspense romance, and the story delivers. The author lets you get a peek into the heads of all his characters, and it clips along at a nice pace, indulging in all the emotional details of a kid going through what Mike goes through. It’s very believable and rather enjoyable. I look forward to the next installment of the series!

I’ve had the pleasure of watching this author grow. He has a great story, endearing characters (and some despicable ones), and a flare for the dramatic that I enjoy. This story has come a long way, and I look forward to seeing where it goes next. Of course, he just welcomed a new addition to his family, so it might be a bit, but I’d say it’s worth the wait.
