Review: Glimpse

Glimpse by Steven Whibley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With A Name Like Curse

This series must be read in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to read Relic!


Dean is an ordinary highschool kid. He has two bestfriends (Colin & Lisa) who are always by his side. Everything is normal. Bullies, a kid sister &tests are his main worries until the fateful day he is late for school and sees a man being beaten in an alley. He can't help himself... He has to do something! He chases the guys off by pretending to have a cellphone and tries to help the bleeding man. The man touches Dean's blood covered chest and murmurs "Glimpse" before passing out. Now Dean gets terrifying visions of people contorting and screaming in agony. What did the man do to him? Is he cursed? What do the visions mean? Will he ever figure out what is going on?

***Though written about a highschool student this series is (so far) suitable for middlegrade through adult readers who enjoy modern fantasy with plenty of mystery, action, adventure and suspense with a group of diehard friends to always find the truth :)
