Forbidden by Syrie James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a copy of this book in a First Reads contest. The book was provided by the publisher.

First off, I have to admit that I am in love with this cover! It's awesome!

Claire is a sixteen year old who doesn't understand why her mother panics and packs them up every so often. She's been going to the Emerson Academy for 2 years, and hopes her mom doesn't get any notions to move again. She finally has good friends that she would hate to leave behind.
Unexpectedly Claire starts getting visions of the future. She has no clue what is going on. That same day she meets the gorgeous, new Scottish student Alec. Alec is surprised by his attraction to Claire. It’s the first time he’s ever felt that way in the 100+ years he’s been alive. When Alec finds out the truth about Claire he realizes their relationship is forbidden.
This book was great because it was so easy to connect with Claire. She doesn’t attempt to hide her problems because she is embarrassed or worried about being a freak. The first thing she does when she starts having visions is tell her friends. Alec is great because he’s not perfect. The author’s writing style makes it hard to put this book down!! The story is entertaining and I can’t wait for the next book! Forbidden was fantastic!
