A pretty good first book for this author. Although I'm always a fan of fantastical abilities being structured and ruled as much as possible, the way the different abilities of the characters were revealed made for a fun read. I may read the sequel, if I get it free or cheap.Product details

Red Summer An Urban Fantasy eBook Antoinette Houston Alfred Stewart Bonny Moseley Ian Frank Reviews
Love it! Rita, Wil, Ingrid and Nik are incredible! Rita is strong, gorgeous, intimidating and exciting. She's the character I'd love to see on a movie screen! I love Wil, her boyfriend! Ingrid and Nik are also strong characters!
The character development is excellent. The suspense is perfect. There are plenty of surprises. The action scenes are so detailed I can imagine them easily. With all the suspense, what surprises and delights me most is the humor. There is one scene that had me laughing so hard I had tears falling. Love it! Not only was I consistently surprised, I found myself laughing, too!! The vivid imagination it took to even think of this novel is amazing. To write it is as well as this...is unbelievable. From beginning to end, I love it all!
Rita is a strong, kick ass, superstar! They all rock! I would pre order tickets to see this on a movie screen, if they can do this novel justice! ) It's got everything! No movie has been like this in years! It's perfect! )
Love it!
This novel was given to me for an honest review! Amazing! Thank you, Antoinette!
This book has a unique, imaginative and intriguing plot. The characters are not only believable, but pretty dead on for teens that age. In the story, a group of friends discover that they have been reliving their high school lives over and over for the past eighteen years. Now something has interrupted the cycle; bringing with it long forgotten memories, and strange abilities beyond their belief – or control.
Rita, the main character, has a special ability, fire control. Other characters have abilities of their own as well, bringing some really interesting powers and abilities into the mix. The characters are brought to each other easily, then you get a lot of nice twists and turns. Sometimes you want to cheer them on and sometimes you want to smack the bejesus out of them, which is why I said before that the teenagers are believable.
Ms. Houston holds your interest, making you wonder who to trust. It has a creative edge. If you enjoy suspense, paranormal and plot twists, you will enjoy this book. Even though it wasn’t necessarily something I would usually read, Ms. Houston is definitely onto something here. She is obviously a creative author and I hope to see more work from her. The one complaint I would have is that it’s a bit confusing jumping back and forth between times, so it took me a bit longer to read. But, overall, I enjoyed it.
This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
This review has been crossposted from my blog at The Cosy Dragon.com. Please head there for more in-depth reviews by me, which appear on a timely schedule.
Red, or Rita, is just beginning to catch on fire. Not in the way that Katniss does, but in the real sense of the word - Rita makes flames part of explosive life.
The idea of the mutant abilities was interesting, and quite unique from other novels I have read. Taking the blood of someone unique, and then finding the genetic basis of it - right up my alley. I'm not surprised it only worked on children. Did I mention that's the field of my PhD?
Each of the main characters has those special powers, and it's not immediately obvious which they have. Rita manifests first, and refuses to talk about it. She's a 'raging black woman', which felt like it fell into a stereotype rather than Rita having her own personality.
Jason seems like a danger - I don't know why they didn't just kill him. I mean, it's a bit inhumane, but when you get someone who can break everything in one fell go from within a cell, it's just sensible!
I struggled to work out what role Thomas played. Only his memories are useful to the teenagers, and I think they could have survived without that. He seemed to be aimed at providing a 'normal' perspective, and still he was the one who was hurt the most often, just for being himself.
I don't think that the blurb on the novel does justice. I didn't jump into it because I couldn't understand what the endless summer would be. I thought maybe I would see the same scene playing out over and over - but instead I got some powerful action scenes with tangible emotions.
Did I mention that the cover is pretty awesome? It's very simple, but if you actually just look at it, it gives a strong hint for what is to happen. A match burning the wrong way...
What put me off this novel, and what might have changed since I read this early ARC, is some of the prose. The writing didn't feel 'tight' to me, in the way that some novels are. The dialogue could have gone with a little more finess, because it often felt like the words were superfluous. Something else that bothered me were the changes in tempo.
I'm willing to cut this novel some slack, since when the author supplied it to me, she explained that this copy hadn't been edited. I'm interested to see whether the next novel has evolved - and I think I'd consider reading it just to see what happens with the mutant powers. Are more of them going to appear? Are their children going to be 'monsters'?
Intriguing, imaginative story. I liked the story line but the writing made me uncomfortable because it was poorly written. I wanted to offer my servi es as an editor. The verb tenses often did not agree. The author jumped beteen first person narrative, second, and third in a way that did not make sense. She also mixed up past and present. These issues may not matter to someone who doesn't care about grammar, but they were very confusing to me and spoiled the story.
Each character with their own distinct ability, keeps you curious as to how they will react to in a given situation.
Wow this was a really a good read. I can not not say to much with out spoiling the book. Great job on your first book truly enjoyed it. Waiting patiently on the sequel
