Kate Triumph by Shari Arnold

Young Adult / Paranormal / Romance

16. October 2014

Kindle Edition

Summary:

Normal is so overrated. At least that's what seventeen-year-old Kate Triumph tells herself everyday. But the truth is she lives in constant fear that someone will discover how not normal she really is. With her startling speed and her unusual ability to heal, Kate believes she's something of a freak. 

Then Andrew Shore arrives.

He claims he's her father, sticks around for a few days and leaves her a plane ticket. “Come to Mercer Island,” he says. “Give me a chance to get to know you.” Soon Kate is floundering in a world of new: new address, new car, new high school and, of course, new father. Not to mention Zack, her intriguing new neighbor, who makes her want to abandon her steadfast rule of never allowing anyone to get too close. But when she discovers someone is trying to kill her, life for Kate gets a bit more complicated. And a lot less normal.

4 out of 5 stars

This story starts off slow and it takes a bit to connect to the characters, at least it did for me. But once you connect to them this books is impossible to put down. It is definitely a book worth reading.

Kate, the main character of this novel, is sharp, sarcastic and very funny. I loved reading about her life and finding out more about her abilities, that make her more special than the average person. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters. I especially enjoyed the interactions between Andrew and Kate, seeing them bond and get to know each other was amazing. The romance in this book is on point. Kate and Zack have awesome chemistry and their interactions gave me warm feelings.

I loved the ending of this book. I had no idea how it could be resolved or how the ending could satisfy me. But it did. It ended on an perfect note.

While the ending, as I said, is perfect I would love a sequel as there is plenty of room left for new adventures. This is also the first book Shari Arnold published (as far as I am aware of) and I must say that I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
