Guest Review: Lindsay S. reviews Sphere (The Carriers, Episode 1) by Isaiyan Morrison

(Blurb): Just finishing graduating high school, Tayla Wyatt looks forward to heading off to the same college her best friend Sara was accepted to. This is her only way to get away from her family's troubles and the fact that her mother walked out on her and her father over a decade ago.

The day of her 17th birthday they meet Darrien, a shy eighteen year old boy who reveals to Tayla that she's descended from a long line of Carriers, humans endowed with special abilities or "gifts" and that her gift she has yet to harness is the strongest gift of them all. Tayla doesn't believe him. After all, no human in the world has special powers, or do they?

Things suddenly take a downward spiral turn as Tayla finds herself immersed in their world. Still questioning why her mother left her, she must also come to grips with the fact that her gift may not be a blessing but a curse.

Guest Review by Lindsay:

Sphere (The Carriers, 1) is a teen paranormal episodic book. What I didn't like is that it left me hanging. By the end, we've not found out the main character's (Tayla) power and it just disappointed me rather than make me want to buy book 2 when it's released. Another issue was that the Tayla's friend annoyed me. Granted, there was no spelling or continuity errors. However, it just didn't grab me the way other paranormal fantasies, such as Twilight, did.

If I had to make a suggestion I'd put all current books,or the first 3 books together to make an actual full length novel. This way it can all work seamlessly.

This would be a good short story to go in a teen anthology series as it's short and wets the appetite for a paranormal read. I'd rate this 3 out of 5 stars, the story has potential but I couldn't really get into the plot due to the shortness of the story, unfortunately.
