Excerpt from Discovery of the Five Senses

Exhausted, Joaquin stayed there for a few minutes while the forest absorbed the intentional, malicious act. Pained moans escaped him as he stood rubbing his eyes, which were suddenly burning.

Unable to see clearly, he stumbled out of the forest, going anywhere the night would take him. His eyes burned a furious, deep red. He would remain in an agonized condition for three long days.

Terrified, Della and Juson guessed at what had just happened. Afraid to move, they had no choice but to show more patience than they had thought possible in their lifetimes. The scared couple clung to each other, wondering what new horror awaited them.

The minutes seemed like hours, but they remained still, even as a bright light swept through the preserve. The light was sharp, electric against the blanket of darkness. It brought with it a clicking noise, which drove its way into their ears with a musical rhythm.

As the light zoomed in closer to Ross, it pounced against the leaf covering the two, then went dark as the clicks faded.

As the night progressed, Della and Juson found the courage to make their move. In disbelief, they ran home, holding a frightening secret in their hearts. A secret of murder, committed under a striking, glowing moonlight on the most fateful night of their young lives.

My thoughts on Discovery of the Five Senses

The Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five Senses explores the coming of age of five boys from Danville Heights, a small rural town.

After a strange energy charge hits the boys in an open field, they each find themselves with a unique superpower. This tale covers their new life with all its choices and issues.

K.N. Smith wrote Discovery of the Five Senses in a descriptive, fluid style that paints beautiful pictures in the reader’s mind. The story played like a vivid movie in my mind while reading.

Strangely, I believed more in the paranormal aspects than in the goodness of the entire town. I’m sure the author intended this to set up the myriad of differences between Danville Heights and the neighboring evil town. But wow, that’s a lot good!

I believe the book will resonate with young adult readers as well as the more mature ones. It fits into several genres, especially in the paranormal, coming-of-age, and mystery niches.

I recommend this highly imaginative, well-written, entertaining story to everyone.

 

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
