I wouldn’t really call this fast pace… I felt more like I was thrown into a story with a sink or swim theory. Everything just kept happening & I just had to accept all these strange abilities, random people, character twists & be OK with them.
Scarlett has been institutionalized for the apparent murder of her best friend Grace. She gets out 6 months later only to find her mother hasn’t just ignored her for 6 months but hooked up with the cop who interrogated her that night & now they live with him & his son Skylar. But right away Scarlett feels a bond with him & then monsters attack & they’re off.
In this story things just happen. Didn’t like that. I felt like the author had some decent ideas for a story, threw them all up into the air & how they landed equaled this book. I finished it because I hoped in the end it would kinda make sense. Dante & Scarlett seem likable but not so much that I’ll waste my time with book #2.

Uuuuugghhhh, IDK what to rate this!!! This is a major problem, you guys! Like, a super big problem, even bigger than the problems teens have in all these adventure stories I keep reading. Man, teens have the worst problems!
But anywho, to reel it back in from my tangent, I'm going to grant Sonny Daise 5 stars for imagination, -1000 stars for writing skill and 3,000,000 stars for being a bitch and cutting her story off just a few chapters in to try and trick me into buying the rest of it with real money by pretending that it's followup books. No, sweetheart, a complete book is complete, not just stopped at a cliffhanger to entice the reader into reading more. (Although, smart idea. SMART! You must be a teen or something, cuz everyone knows they're the smartest.)
This story was all over the damn place. (Reminded me of the authorings of the genius Tyra Banks and her epic tome of Modelland.) All kinds of shit happened in this book and none of it made any damn sense, but man was it fun to read! I seriously had the best time blowing through this little short story this evening. A much better time than I normally have reading most books of any literary value. Obviously this isn't anything that's going to be well written. It's barely coherent. I mean, just look at the cover. What you see is what you get. But once you figure out what the hell it is Daise is trying to say in her confused sentence structure you're like, "Woah, this shit is fucked up. Let me read more! I wonder what the hell is going on, because I'm SO confused right now."
The story is mostly plot driven and the plot is quite... imaginative. It reads as if Daise is making it up as she goes along, with no proof reading or anything. This would make a really fun blog to read. I know i'd subscribe. But I sure as heck am not spending any money on the rest of this. LOL
I originally had set my rating at 1 star for this "book," but now that I'm done reviewing it I think I'll give it 5 stars because it obviously had enough of an impression for me to keep going on and on about it. So there, you damn tease. There's your 5 star rating! May it bring you no joy!

Oh dear no! All the cliches.....accepting without thought or argument that you are different, learning abilities in 5min, declaring love in less than an hour (sigh) not to mention killing people without blinking. Everything was chaos from start to finish; rushed off with little explaining of what was really going on. I had such high hopes for this series but sadly this is the end of the road for me.

This book was stupid, that's my opinion of course. I guess the story itself could have been interesting but the way it was put together was horribly done. There were lots of inconsistencies and things that just made no sense. I felt like the author was kind of jumping around, so at times it was hard to follow what was going on. I noticed several grammatical/punctuation errors. I couldn't stand Scarlet. Her constantly comparing Pre-Dante to Post-Dante was really annoying. Although since there wasn't really much said about the characters in looks, I can't say I really cared about any of them. I kept reading the story to find more errors. I can say that I did have somewhat fun reading it though, at least it was fast paced. In the end, I'm not continuing with this series.
My questions/comments for this story:
So Scarlet was found wandering around covered in her blood and her friend Graces', not remembering anything. What state is this girl in to where Scarlet would be sent to the mental hospital because of that? For 6 months? And even though there was no proof of anything really, the police assumed she killed her friend and her friend had struggled back? Again, what state is this happening in? I would have to say some 'hole in the wall' kind of town.
When Scarlet arrives at her new house with her mom, her mom's bf and Skylar, men end up breaking in. Where in the world are the grown ups? Is the house so huge they can't hear anything going on? Like an ax breaking through a door? Then prior to her and Skylar driving away she makes mention of the note that the nurse had given to her mother. Why would she suddenly think of that? Yet Scarlet doesn't seem to find this strange. Or the fact that Skylar, whom Scarlet just met, suddenly wants to help her find out what happened to Grace....the same day Scarlet gets out of the hospital. Nope, nothing weird going on there.
Skylar/Dante. He's at the house when Scarlet 'gets home.' Right now his father is the cop that her mother is dating and lives with. Okay. So Scarlet knew Dante prior to the Grace situation and getting locked up. In that regard, she most likely knew his parents too. So how does he end up at the house, with a different father and her mother not recognizing him?
We end up finding out that most likely Scarlet's mom has powers too. Her mom's power is to make people forget. Hence Skylar saying that Graces' parents didn't remember her. YET!!!!! Scarlet's mother tells her the reason for the move was because she didn't like all the stares/gossiping from other people. That doesn't make sense. It was still never explained why her mother never visited her either.
When they're driving to get away from the bad men, Scarlet mentions that they were 'about to go by the hospital.' Suddenly they're driving up to the gate? Why would they be doing this?
Stupid question: When they stop to rest, Scarlet gets out of the car to find Skylar, 'swatting corn stalks out of my face the whole way.' Did Skylar plowed some corn stalks down and park on them? Hence there would be more all around them.
What is with the people that Scarlet dreams about? That first girl that stabbed her in the arm? Scarlet ends up changing her face back to how it originally looked, that being normal and suddenly everything's okey dokey.
Second rest area, they end up at the 'shore.' The next morning, after meeting Annabelle, Scarlet finds her 'walking along the shore.' Sorry but when I hear the word 'shore' I automatically think of somewhere near the ocean, am I wrong in saying this? Suddenly there's a man flying across the beach. First, what happened to the man? I wouldn't really say Annabelle's power was really explained there. Second, they are at a beach. But wait. 'We took our shoes off and walked over to the long wooden dock.' Now unless you have a part of the beach in your backyard, that including a dock for your boat...I don't think I've ever seen a dock at a regular beach...THAT...is low enough for you to put your feet in. One more thing. But wait again. They are in fact at a lake. Sorry I haven't done much traveling around, but those descriptions do not make me thing, specifically, of a lake.
How does Annabelle know so much about the Alliance? She was adopted (maybe) so her parents wouldn't naturally know of her powers. Yet, she knows where there locations are and knows there should be a clubhouse in the backyard holding prisoners. Yet when they get into the building, they don't try to save anyone. (Couldn't Skylar have tried? Or maybe they could have called the police?) And when Skylar 'moves' them away from the building, turns out Annabelle was left behind. No problems though because Scarlet can suddenly turn invisible, and she would be better off getting Annabelle, not Skylar who can magically move them to a different location. Nope, Scarlet's the best for this job because no one will see her, no one stops to think about the fact that Annabelle will still be seen. Stupid.
They are then heading to the house hidden in the woods, which Skylar/Dante of course knows about. How? No clue. Yet, they're walking through the woods and Scarlet doesn't see any house UNTIL Skylar/Dante moves A SINGLE branch out of the way. Pure magic there.
So Scarlet ends up dreaming that night and wakes up (maybe?) to find that Skylar/Dante isn't in bed anymore. She's then outside wondering around, sees a weirdo in the woods after her, then runs into Skylar/Dante who had been looking for her. That scene was very confusing. I wasn't sure if Scarlet was sleepwalking or what?
Annabelle ends up shooting a man while they're trying to peek into the house where Grace was last seen. Where did she get the gun?
"We need to find what Grace wanted us to find. That means poking around the house, leaving fingerprints, looking in the woods, leaving our footprints." Huh? While looking for clues, they'll intentionally leave evidence they were there?
When they break into the closed motel, what happened to Annabelle? She was with them when they left the clubhouse but suddenly is gone. And somehow ends up with Elizabeth.
We find out from Elizabeth that they shouldn't worry about the dead man that Annabelle killed, because he was serial killer. Of course, figures. Sounds a little too convenient for me.
After meeting Cooper they decide to find something belonging to Grace. Yes, going to Grace's house would make sense. Not! If her parents don't remember her, why would they have anything of hers still? Or the fact, that Elizabeth whose driving, doesn't know how to get to Grace's house, yet Scarlet sits in the very back. That's always the best place for giving directions.
Scarlet and Skylar/Dante had been talking about how he thought it best that he leave. "Is it because of Cooper?" Scarlet asks. Nope, "it's not because of him; it just took him being here to make me see." Um...isn't that the same thing? Who knows because they stop the conversation there.
Who plastered over Graces' bedroom door?
So Annabelle tries to kill herself. Where did she get the pills? And why does she sleep all night long? Yet in the morning be pale with blue lips, but wakes up then? And seems basically fine?
When they're about to go inside the mansion, Lilly mentions her duplication power. What's Elizabeth's? And now thinking about this, why didn't George go with them? He sends his family but stays at home in this kind of situation? And why would Dante have Elizabeth and Lilly hide on the side of the house while everyone else was going inside?
When they're inside, Connor and Annabelle get captured. So by the way the book reads it sounds like there are stairs leading down to where the people are and Scarlet and Skylar/Dante are up above looking down at them. Hence 'I looked down at the tables.' And that was when she Connor and Annabelle. Yet after she does the book trick, One of the bad men, turns and goes after Scarlet. 'The other came charging at me.' That makes it sound like they were on the same level now. And why didn't Scarlet try anything with him, like she did when she paralyzed the man upstairs? Instead she just stands there. 'The man hit me over and over again.' Why would he be doing this? If the books that she had fly off the shelf didn't hurt them, then why would he be acting so extreme towards her? Again they're on the same level because while she's getting the crap beaten out of her, she's admiring the room. haha And sees Elizabeth and Lilly looking in the window from outside.
How did Annabelle and Connor not get away while the man who should have been watching them, was fighting with Lilly? Suddenly Scarlets' able to get the bookcase to fall over (a little too prefect for me) and the guy holding Connor...with a knife to his throat...is dead...but Connor is fine. Of course! Oh and let's not forget about Skylar/Dante. What happened with him? There were only 2 bad guys, one with the Connor and Annabelle and the other with Lilly and Scarlet. So what was he doing? Browsing the books? Getting bored and looking for something good to read? Something better than this story maybe? haha Because he's suddenly just standing next to the fallen bookshelf. Apparently I was wrong because a third bad guy showed up and Skylar/Dante had to kill him out in the hall. Again...how is the library set up? Because their locations and all are aren't adding up to me.
Why was Grace prisoner for so long? 6 months? And how was she shackled to the wall, to where she couldn't reach the key on the ground had no problem getting herself unlocked? And why did the key shock Scarlet and Skylar/Dante? And not even 2 seconds after Grace being rescued, she's ready to go back for revenge? Seriously? Why if everyone is dead? And she's mad at Scarlet because Scarlet's questioning her?
At the end of this story, there's a part 2 preview. I couldn't help but see how it started. Well Dante and Scarlet are having a conversation. Basically about how her mother could make people forget, which we already learned in the first one. But then he talks to her about Skylar as if he was a completely different person which makes no sense at all. So I stopped.

I tried. I really did try. I am not one to put down a book no matter how badly written it is. I made it through Fallen so you would think I could handle Vanish. But I literally was falling asleep. And I knew it was hopeless as soon as I realized, this book was written better than The Witches of Santa Anna or at least the idea of the book. But while I was reading The Witches of Santa Anna with my eyes bulging out this book made them droop.
The whole book was RUSHED not fast paced RUSHED. Yes folks there is a BIG difference.
Chapter One for example. It begins with Scarlet leaving a mental institution talking about how everyone blamed her for her friends murder and nobody had contacted her at all. Not even her mother. But suddenly the mom shows up all happy with a new man going off about OOO this is my new love and we moved in together and he has a son! Bla, bla, bla. Seems a bit much.
Why didn't her mother contact her daughter and tell her everything? Or contact her and ask her how everything was going? So it's pretty evident her mother SUCKS as a parent.
Next her 'ability' was way to bluntly stated. Just randomly oh yeah I have dreams that are strange and can see the future.
Now I saw chapter one going more like this. Girl telling about her great life, her best friend, whoreish mother, and the boy she's been crushing on for quite sometime. THEN after all that is explained she goes into how she ended up there and all that good stuff. Also how did she get out of the hospital so easily? She was being convicted of a crime possibly but suddenly she's just free to go?
As well as during the whole rest of the story the cops were never involved... Wasn't she suppose to be in some trouble?
The holes in the plot continue as well as the unrealistic happenings that made me want to gauge my eyes out.
Like the fact she had a dream where someone was trying to kill her and the idea was awesome that what happened in the dream happened in real life buuut all she had to do was think of some field of flowers and poof the crazy lady of her dreams was happy. All better.... The fuck? Really? That's the big solution?
It get's worse a random girl shows up while their parked somewhere secluded (they were sleeping in their car) and asks for help. Her parents just you know were kidnapped but that doesn't mean she can't ask about hunky Skylar and if he's available or not. -.- Right. Because that's what I'd think about if my parents vanished. Oh and did I mention this girl just happens to have magical abilities to? What a coincidence girl just falls out of nowhere and is just like them! Woohoo!
By the way this particular scene where this happens revolves around this car a lot. Sleeping in the car, taking turns sleeping in the car. It was just dragging on, and on, and on.
Of course Annabelle's character goes something like this "Wooo is me! My life is terrible nobody cares about me my parents are gone!!!" But yet hey who's that hunk?! -.- shoot me, just shoot me.
I could go on with example after example of random stuff that just makes no sense and doesn't help develop the story at all but I would run out of space.
It's like throwing all the ideas in the world into one book smashed together with no organization no development and characters who's dialogue makes you want to cry yourself to sleep.
I just... I can't finish this book.
With proper editing this could have been AMAZING one of the best even but the days of revisions and editing are in the past. Now we have crappy writing, and more crappy writing. Please just give me a good movie. I am sick of books.

What the heck did I just read? O.o
I can't even decide if I liked it or not, it was just intensely confusing ... And yet I wanted to read more to find out what was actually happening.
It's fair to say, that I probably won't finish the rest of the series, just because it put me through too many unwanted emotions and to be honest, I didn't care for any of the characters and NOTHING made sense, it was all over the shop.
Scarlett and Dante just annoyed the crap out of me. I did not believe for a moment that they "loved" each other... It all seemed like an act with their bi-polarness towards each other especially when Grace gets involved ... I wanted to slap her every time she was mentioned or appeared ... I did not like her. Or any of them, for that matter
One of the good things about this book though, was the concept and the powers - they were epic. How they were executed ... Not so much -.-
My Rating:
3.5/10

I was searching free books and I saw the cover of this book. I read the description and it sounded intresting so i downloaded it.Started reading the book,and started to get into it. When I finished the book,it just kinda left you hanging. Its like uh,wheres the next page. I ended up getting the next 2 books,the second one which i am halfway through,and im hoping that it is a little bit more detailed than the forst one was. Overall, it was a good read.
April 1, 2013
Im not sure where to begin, I really like the story line, it has alot of promis, but i think it jumps around to much. I found my self going back and rereading parts thinking ive missed something...hopefully book two is more thought out cuz I would really like to know what happens, and what happened.
October 19, 2012
It was a great story but someone should have done a bit more editing. There were way to may punctuations missing. I did read all three and the same goes for the last two. I enjoyed the story but was thrown of by the poor editing.

Good Lord. I made it to chapter 11 & just had to put the book down. This story makes no sense! I found myself getting increasingly annoyed with each passing chapter so I'm putting this into the did not finish category and moving on.

At the end of this book all I could think was, "what happend in the woods?" Vanish held my attention all the way. This book is full of suprises and all kinds of craziness. Not giving anything away. A very good read.

This was a really good book full of adventure and mystery. This book has action from the start of the book to the end. This book is the 1st of 5 in the series, so if you like series you will like this one.

Loved the fast paced story. I'm glad I didn't have to wait for the second book to come out!

Difficult to follow and confusing... But has potential to be a good story...

It was ok, it was all over the place and it was a short book, but other than that it was ok.

The story would have been good, but the whole story was way way waaaaaay too rushed.
