Absolute Power

by Candice Terry

Two years ago Alysun David's life was normal. Great school. Wonderful boyfriend.
But after one night of being abandoned at her high school dance nothing was ever the same.

Powers Alysun could never imagine have developed and her anger triggers them.

Terrified, her mother constantly keeps them on the move until they finally find themselves in the company of her mother's old friend...who doesn't look that old at all. Even in the small town of Hinckley, Ohio things seem to only get worse for Alysun and her heart longs for the one person that could help her.


As her powers progress unwanted attention is aimed Alysun's way and evil won't stay away long. Control is the only thing that can help her but anger is sometimes harder to let go than you think.

So to start a mother and her 18 year old daughter are running from something. Aslyum only knows they are running but not from what. She is struggling because she left the love of her life, her only home and on top of that she has these new powers that she cant control. But you can not run from the past forever and when Asylum and her mother reach their new stopping place, in Ohio everything gets worse. She starts transitioning into her powers and finally starts learning the truth and why the love of her life left.

So I loved this story. It held me captive until the end and made me sad when I had to put it down. I felt alongside the character and rooted for her the whole way. Love that she is a strong female character.
Would have been 5 stars but the errors and formatting. Besides that give this book a chance you wont regret it!

Honestly in the beginning of the book I was confused, and worried this was going to be another high school drama tale. But as I read Alyson's story and started to get more hints of what was happening to her and what happened to her in the past. I couldn't read fast enough.

Alyson's story starts out your basic teen drama way. I moved schools so I hate my life and it is all my mom's fault...... But it becomes so much more, by the time I figured out what was happening with Alyson I was so wrapped up in the story I didn't want it to end. Over all it was a great read. This book has suspense, love, power, and danger. It is an amazing start to the series and I can't wait for more of Alyson and the mysterious journey she is on

I really enjoyed this book and hearing her story. The beginning had me thinking if I was going to enjoy it, but I kept reading and it just grabs your attention. I don't like giving spoilers, but i'd really recommend this book to anyone!

I just finished reading this, and I liked it very much and am looking forward to book 2 in the series! I can't believe it left off with a cliff hanger!
