She doesn't know how to deal with them, and she doesn't want to - but the terrifying visions keep coming. Then Grace's best friend Emily disappears. And suddenly the premonitions she's so scared of are the only way Grace might be able to save her friend before it's too late...

Gracie has premonitions, visions. She's had them since before her mother's death. She does not want them, hates them, and has no idea what to do about them. Still grieving for her mother, Gracie lives with Aunt Shay and Shay's son, Diego. Aunt Shay and Diego have been tip toeing around Gracie, giving her time to adjust to living with them and to mourn.
Then Gracie's best friend, Emily, disappears. The police have no clues at all. Gracie, with the support of Aunt Shay and Diego, must quickly learn not to avoid her visions, but try to make them happen. Emily's life, as well as several others, depend on it!
***** Author Jude Watson is mostly known for her young adult series in the Star Wars universe. But every now and then the author take a few months out to write to write science fiction in OUR universe. Here is one and it was worth the wait! If you have ever wished to have the power of premonitions, this story will cure you of it. Hang onto your seat. It is going to be a bumpy ride! *****

I thought that this book was good but lacking something. Gracie is a character that grows on you slowly, at the beginning I disliked her and only started properly liking her at the end of the book. The idea that see has premonitions is a clever idea, except she sees the past more than the future. She sees her visions rather like Phoebe in Charmed, by touching an object.
The conclusion to this story and the discovery of where Emily really is was a shocking and original idea, one I would have liked to have read more of. The suspense leading up to the discovery of the Kidnapper was definitely worth the read and not someone I would have guessed.

For fans of surreal fiction
22 Oct 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Gracie knows when bad things are about to happen. Or sometimes when they've already happened. She begged her mother not to board the plane that crashed, and now, living in Washington with her aunt Shay, Gracie has visions that involve her best friend Emily. Gracie would prefer that her psychic powers didn't exist, but when Emily disappears, she has to use every vision she gets as a clue to solving the mystery.
The problem with Gracie's visions is that she doesn't know exactly what she's seeing. Sometimes she sees the past, sometimes the present, and sometimes she misinterprets her visions completely. Assisted by her cousin Diego, Gracie follows her visions in hopes of finding Emily. After a few false starts and a little research, she finds Emily's trail and is taken captive by Emily's kidnapper. Trapped in a guarded house, Gracie has to use her visions as well as her wits to save herself and the others held by a disillusioned madman.
Fans of supernatural mysteries may find PREMONITIONS to be a good read, but those who aren't particularly interested in the genre will find it too predictable and jagged. Gracie is unlikable and obnoxious, though her aunt and cousin are interesting and well developed. The kidnapper's motives are supposed to be sympathetic but come out laughable and melodramatic. Recommended solely for die-hard fans of surreal literature.

*Premonitions* [10 STARS]
16 Oct 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When I had read this book I was amazed of how thrilling and interesting the plot actually is. It's very intruiging. It kept me reading, and I was sad to see it come to an end. I was happy to hear that Jude Watson has a second book, which I am exciting about getting soon! If you love suspense, mystery or thillers-get this book!! I could read this book over and over and it'd never get old. Jude Watson puts the story together very well, and everything flows into each other. Also she doesn't leave any "loose ends" really either., which was nice. I truly think this is a FABULOUS book, please get it.
