Polarity: Children of the Orb
Rush James and his brother, Chris, are "plasmetric" people-a unique life form born of human parents. Their blood cells are alive with alien electronic energy-and living a normal life in the human world creates havoc for those of their kind. But Rush and Chris aren't alone-there are others. As their parents slowly die, the Children of the Orb must find one another to survive. Rush must share his life with the only woman in the world that can keep his blood cells charged. Trulie Morgan is the positive to Rush's negative. When they touch, polarity moves energy, their passion grows, and the battle of opposites begins. Trulie's kind heart is naive to the dangers that surround them, and Rush must learn to use her optimism and strength if he wants to claim victory, and love. But the danger is very real for all of them--both from humans and from others of their kind. As they search for the answers they're desperate to find, someone is killing humans and animals. When an attempt is made on Trulie's life, Rush is determined to get to the bottom of it--even if it means it could be one of their own--one of the CHILDREN OF THE ORB."

This story is a joy to read. Forget vampires and werewolves, The Children of the Orb are the next big thing.
The story is told from the main character's point of view. Rush James is a young vibrant businessman until his world is turned upside down. How he deals with the tragedy of losing his parents, and becoming the father-figure / leader of the Plasmetric children is well written and riveting.
His polar opposite, Trulie, tests him in ways he never imagined.

** I received a free copy of Children of the Orb (Polarity Book 1) for my complete and honest opinion. **
*** This review will not contain any spoilers. ***
The Orb gave them life and the Orb can take it away.
After a horrific accident, a miner finds an Orb, an alien device. With this device, he revives his fellow miners. The miners have children. These children are now “plasmetric” people. Their blood cells are alive with alien electronic energy.
Rush and his brother are two of these “plasmetric” people and between nature and their parents, they are given the charge that keeps them alive.
However, the miners all die unexpectedly. Leaving their children to figure out how to survive. To do this… they have to find their polar opposites. The positive to their negative.
The danger is not just in finding their mates, it is also coming from humans and “plasmetric” people alike.
Rush will do anything to protect his family, both old and new.
Children of the Orb is a solid 4.5-star read.
I loved loved loved so many characters in this book. Rush, Chris, Trent, KC, Brook, and Trulie are all fantastic characters. Even though the POV was from Rush and I would have preferred for it to be from both Rush and Trulie or Rush and Chris, I still very much enjoyed it.
The wold of this book hooked me and drew me in... I can not wait to dive back into it. I enjoyed the HEA but at the same time, I would have enjoyed the book just as much if there wasn't.
C.A. Jamison spun a tale that I lost myself in.

Ms. Jamison takes you into a world filled with danger for her characters, and I loved them all. The suspense and uncertainty of their survival keeps you turning the pages until the end... not to mention the building attraction and romance. I highly recommend this great read.

Jamison. Rush and his younger brother, Chris, have always lived with their parents. Their relationship is a very special one that began even before they were born. Their father was involved in a coal mining explosion which no one expected anyone would survive. Rush's father, however, found a strange glowing globe in the debris, that harbored what looked like lightning and storms within it. The orb had healing properties which were profound. The miners did not seem to age after having contact with it, and their bodies were impervious to illness and injuries. As long as they stayed within the protective sphere of the orb, they were remained healthy and strong. Their children were likewise special, requiring only daily transfers of energy from their parents to be free from illness and heal rapidly from injuries. The contact need only be as simple as a hug or a draped hand on the child’s shoulder. These special children were home-schooled as their needs and healing abilities would not be understood by those who had not been transformed by the orb. When the orb started to fade, its stormy features smoothing out and dissipating, the miners began to weaken and then die. When they were gone, their children, deprived of the parental transfers of energy, likewise began to weaken and age. Rush and Chris were not sure what to do until they met two young women who were also children of the orb, Trulie and Brook. It was fairly predictable which woman each young man would seek to befriend. The tall, blond Brook was definitely the romancer Rush's type, and Chris gravitated to Trulie, but the transfers of energy which restored each of them to their full vigor revealed who their partners really were.
C.A. Jamison's new adult science fiction romance, Polarity: Children of the Orb is an enthralling and original story. The author's writing is fluid and easy on the eyes, and her characters are well-developed and clearly defined. I enjoyed the science fiction aspect of the story and would love to see a sequel to Polarity that explores the concept of other Orbs and their origin, and deals with the expanding powers that the children possess more fully. The musical theme that runs through the story is marvelous, and the scenes set in the bar are realistic and entertaining. But I really loved the natural settings of the tale, especially the lakeside house with its acres of undeveloped land, and land that was returned to its natural state after the mining. Jamison gives the reader a lot of think about and consider in this absorbing and original story. As there are very few sensual or erotic passages in Polarity, this book would also be suitable for more mature young adults as well as new adults. Polarity: Children of the Orb is highly recommended.

CA Jamison's Polarity is a gripping sci-fi thriller with plenty of drama and romance as well. I thought the premise of the book was striking and unusual--children of people who'd come into contact with an alien orb were born with alien energy that could only be "recharged" through contact with their parents. It's a great story about family bonds and loss and the quest of two brothers to find a way to create a new family and keep themselves alive. There's danger and mystery, and it kept me guessing until the end.
