Tentacles
Sixteen-year-old Sawyer Creed's invisible, yet undeniably real, tentacles have seemingly killed every family member who ever hurt his mom-- including his alcoholic dad.
Now on mom's wedding day, Sawyer's uncontrollable ability puts his family in imminent danger. When the tentacles stretch purposefully toward mom and her new husband, the first guy who's treated her well, Sawyer, realizing that he's on a path to destroy the ones he loves, vows to take charge of his destiny by making mom tell him the truth about why he's different.
The tentacles seem to do his subconscious bidding when he's angry or scared. Sawyer suspects it is a family legacy, a birthright mom denies. There is only one person who has the answers, one person who can help Sawyer have some semblance of a normal life; and that person, his grandmother and the matriarch of the Creed family, is also the person mom has hidden him from all of his life. tentacles is a short story prequel to the novel Blood To Blood.

This book is the short prequel to the Angel Brown series. In Blood to Blood, the first book in the series, Sawyer Creed meets Angel, a teenager with exceptional ancestors, and the wish to become a singer. To better understand why Sawyer acts like he does, it is really helpful to read this prequel.
With Tentacles, Ifè Oshun has created an important prequel to a fantasy series for young adults with romance and a certain thrill. Tentacles is cleverly written, there is not too much depth – just enough to get to know Sawyer Creed a little better – and it makes you want to read more of the Angel Brown series.
4.4 stars
