Seventeen-year-old Lexi Blane believed she was the creator of her own destiny. With a brilliant mind, a flawless boyfriend, and parents who would stop the earth from spinning for her, all was going according to plan. But when her perfect world unravels into one she doesn’t know, it reveals the painful truth of her love, trust, and entire being. In the struggle to find her true self, Lexi learns she didn’t create her destiny – it created her.On a trip to the Bahamas with her mother, father, and boyfriend William, Lexi Blane drifts in and out of consciousness. And eventually wakes up in a hospital bed, with no idea how she got there.
Lexi survived a horrific accident that took the lives of her mother and father. When she wakes up from a coma she finds out that parts of her life have been merely a dream, but have they? Nothing is as it seems for Lexi and things just keep getting more complicated. Not being able to remember certain things has left her mind fuzzy, but she's sure of one thing, William is real, no matter what anyone wants her to believe. It's a book filled with puzzling secrets and mysteries to solve. The reader never knows who to trust and is definitely kept on high alert. It begins as a contemporary romance and quickly evolves into an amazing scifi/supernatural story, one of the best I've ever read.
Jacquelyn Castle has me anxiously awaiting to join Lexi again in the following books. Her writing is easy to follow, even in a pretty complex plot, and her characters are very real. The Dragonfly Prophecy is a mind bending, paranormal fantasy that is filled with awesome gadgets and secret spy type tools. Think the TV show Fringe, the X-Men movies , and the book Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, all rolled into one amazing YA Paranormal Romance.
This story is so original, fast paced, and all around intriguing from the moment I picked it up to the second Jacquelyn switched the story up I knew I was in it for the duration of the series (no matter how it plays out). It's one of those books that has an awe inspiring love triangle that the reader really has no idea how it will play out, and Jacquelyn has even left a lot more up to the readers imagination. Like I said, I am anxiously awaiting the sequel.
