Gifted (The Hayven Series#1) by J. George

This is a fantasy adventure with a touch of romance, suitable for young adults and up and the first in the Hayven series.

All Avery wanted was to take a short cut. Little did she know that this would lead her to Hayven Books and the giving of a gift as well as a prophecy by a lady named Sidra. Madrina and her cliders are coming back and Avery has to save everyone? What on earth does that mean? Avery is introduced to the world of Hayven where everyone has a special gift. A world just beyond her own where telepathy, teleportation and precognition exist. Along with some new fantastically gifted friends, Avery must find a way to stop Madrina and her cliders from stealing the stars from the sky and once again turning the world into a dark place.

This is a gem of a novel. I loved the parallel worlds idea and how people and their colours move between them. The love interest angle is sweet and heartfelt and brought a smile to my face a number of times. The characters, their descriptions and their personality traits were very true to life and I often felt as though I was part of the circle of friends. The pace of the novel can be a little slow every now and then but overall a comfortable read. Only one or two typos throughout made for good reading.


A very enjoyable novel with a great lead into the series and I eagerly await the next one!
