There are two kinds of people in the world: Typics and Divines. Typics are known to society as the normal people on the earth, or, the “typical” human beings. And Divines? Well, they are the people who were born with unique super-human abilities, those of which they choose to either expose or conceal while living among the world of Typics. Divines can be powerful. Summer Peregrine is a Divine who has the ability to teleport to different places at will. Well, she’s supposed to be able to, anyway. She has always struggled with it, and after accidentally revealing her ability to a neighbor when she was a young girl, she resolved to give the teleporting a rest. When Summer’s family relocates from their home state of Arizona to the drizzly California city of San Francisco, she feels like life can’t get any worse: She has no friends and hates the gloomy weather around her. Fortunately things start to turn around when she gets a job at a restaurant and makes friends with the staff as well as her new boss, Fox, a Divine whose name says it all. When Summer gets a flat tire and meets Jonah, a mechanic with a body that she can’t tear her eyes away from, that’s when she feels like her life is truly beginning. But there’s just something about his amazing crystal-blue eyes that she can’t decipher. Jonah slowly reaches out to her and eventually reveals his secrets, making her fall even more in love with him and his sublimity. As Fox’s jealousy grows wild with Jonah and Summer’s relationship, he becomes unhinged and reveals some secrets of his own. Jonah tries to protect her from her boss’s rage, but in the end Summer has to gather the courage to summon her ability and decide her own fate.
Very surprised I enjoyed this somewhat NA/YA (fade-out smut scene) book. The synopsis intrigued me a bit and I'm glad that the story was well written and the characters so well developed. The pacing was fantastic :0)
It was absolutely "divine". I fell in love with it from the first page and I never wanted to put it down. I adore Summer's and Jonah's relationship. I recommended it to a couple of my friends, and they seem very interested. I wish there was more, I would love to read more about Jonah and Summer. Definitely worth five stars!
A wonderful coming of age story with paranormal aspects. As a Divine who can't use her talent, Summer feels like a failure and keeps what she is hidden. Starting over in a new place after he family moves, Summer vows to make the best of it. She finds a new job, new boss, new friends and most importantly, a romantic interest that is intense. But not everyone is who or what they claim to be. Some secrets are infinitely better than others. And some may turn out to be deadly. An excellent story told in an engaging manner. It will hold your attention from the first chapter. And the characters are fantastic. Especially the underlying humor and affection.
Used selfishly your God given graces will destroy you. An indept meaning to this novel made this a must read for all those seeking answers to "why me". I'm glad it found me.🤗🤗
I believe that people have gifts. Some use them some don't. This is a wonderful story about love and discovery. Good versus evil with lots of twists which I do enjoy. Urban fantasy at its finest!
