Summary: I looked down at
the paper, still touching the tip of my shoe. I reached for it, flipping the
page over to look.
Scrawls of ink outlined a drawing of a girl
lying on a bench.
A sick feeling started to twist in my stomach,
like motion sickness.
And then the girl in the drawing turned her
head, and her inky eyes glared straight into mine.
On the heels of a family tragedy, the last
thing Katie Greene wants to do is move halfway across the world. Stuck with her
aunt in Shizuoka, Japan, Katie feels lost. Alone. She doesn’t know the
language, she can barely hold a pair of chopsticks, and she can’t seem to get
the hang of taking her shoes off whenever she enters a building.
Then there’s gorgeous but aloof Tomohiro, star
of the school’s kendo team. How did he really get the scar on his arm? Katie
isn’t prepared for the answer. But when she sees the things he draws start
moving, there’s no denying the truth: Tomo has a connection to the ancient gods
of Japan, and being near Katie is causing his abilities to spiral out of
control. If the wrong people notice, they'll both be targets.
Katie never wanted to move to Japan—now she may
not make it out of the country alive
Review: OMG! OMG! OMG! Sooooo flipping addicting! I started
this book and I loved it. It's based in Japan. It's about a girl named Katie.
Her mom dies and she has to live in Japan with her aunt until her grandfathers
in remission from his cancer. The story line is so strong and well crafted I
never really wanted it to end. I literally read at work even on my lunch breaks
I loved it so much. I have a small love for the Japanese culture and the language.
A few years ago I tried to teach myself Japanese. I was never good at
remembering that kind of stuff so I kind of quit by shockingly I remember most
of what I focused on learning so I may continue to try and learn the language.
But anyways the book is so amazing you won't want to put it down. You will
defiantly want to read it! I really wish book two was out already. I read
a tiny blip of it but I couldn't help but want to read it all and I
couldn't.
