Jessie will struggle to help Amber deal with the grief.

The secrets that have been revealed by Fate will leave Jessie in a new role. It will all come down to bloodline versus logic. She must step up and embrace her new title, and life on the other side of the shimmer.

My Review

Jessie Lucente is a Light Tamer. She found out when she moved to New Bern, North Carolina by her mate, Caleb. She is now starting her junior year of high school at Parca Academy.  As the school year goes on she realizes that a lot of kids at the school have “Gifts”.  Then enters Thorne Woodson, who seems to be everywhere Jessie is. Amber has no clue and she is smitten by hos bad boy attitude.  Jessie knows something is up and she will soon find out, but none of them could have expected what was about to happen.

Enlightened starts off with Jessie’s first day of school and right off the bat we meet Thorne. I could tell he was a bad boy by the way he presented himself and the way he acted. Also, you know that he is watching Jessie b/c he is always winking at her and shows up where she is all the time. I kinda thought he was a stalker or he was trying to get with her. I’m glad he didn’t turn out to be a stalker b/c I happen to like him. Anyways this book had me guessing till the very end. There was a surprise at the end that I did not see coming. I mean who could!!!! If you did please tell me b/c I need to do what you are doing. LOL I was also hoping for a little love triangle, but no luck. Maybe it will happen in the next one but I really really doubt it…you have to read the book. ;) We also learn more about Light Tamers, which I enjoyed and about Jessie’s bloodline (WINK WINK) LOL The ending of the book I kind of expected it, but I still screamed anyway. I said a few choice words in my head to a certain someone. Who? I’ll never tell, you have to find out for yourself. :D

Amber was still her ole crazy self, which I love. She is so spontaneous and you never know what is going to happen around her……like the one incident in the cafeteria. :D

Caleb was still the perfect boyfriend and I think him and Jessie together is great. I just think they both need to loosen up.

Jessie I thought was a little more mature. She has grown since the first book.

Thorne I thought was a great addition to the story. He spices things up a bit. I highly enjoyed him and I hope nothing bad happens to him!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, Enlightened blew The Light Tamer out of the water and I can’t wait for the next one in 2013!!!!
