    About this ebook

    Sixteen-year-old Sage is a lonely child. Her adoptive parents watch her obsessively, as if studying her for warning signs of…something. And maybe they're right to-even she can't make sense of the strange things she sees and hears. She possesses knowledge that other teenagers don't, that her parents and teachers-no adult-could possibly have. So when Sage finally makes a friend who understands her alarming gift, he becomes her confidant, a precarious link to the truth about who she really is. For Sage and the alluring new boy at school share many things in common. Perhaps, they'll learn, far too many things.

      Sage is no ordinary teenager. She sees things and has visions. Her parents are very protective of her but Sage just wants to be a normal teenager. Then a new boy joins her school and things begin to happen for Sage.I have read many books by Virginia Andrews. I enjoyed Flowers in the Attic series, Heaven and Dawn. I did find that after reading all three series of books they were getting predictable and I felt that it was time for me to move on.I haven't read a VA for years and do know that her books are now ghost written, and I can tell. The original books I felt were a lot darker. This book came across as if it is aimed at the teenage market. The story itself was ok but I found it was slow. It picked up once Summer came on the scene. Towards the end of the book all is explained but nothing to get excited about. I enjoyed in the past the original Virginia Andrews but the ghost written new VA is not for me.

      I have always liked V.C. Andrew's books especially the story lines and brooding atmosphere. She (and the writer who took over the job of writing her books) is one of the few authors that I will automatically read without knowing what the book is about.
      When I requested this book, I didn't realize that it was a stand a lone novel and not the first in a series. Sage is a young teen who has been "protected" by her family to the point where she has been stifled and there are so many mysteries regarding her family and Sage herself.
      The book does have the same kind of taboo story line and brooding atmosphere as previous V.C. Andrew books that slowly builds but the ending seems a bit unresolved and abrupt to me. I did enjoy the book but would love to see this expanded into a series. There are so many unanswered questions about Sage, her background, parents background, and an ex flame etc.
      I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review.

      I first read VC Andrews works, Flowers in the Attic way back when it came out in 1979, yes I know I am dating myself here. I remember being fascinated with the Doppelganger story and quickly devoured subsequent novels. Because there was no internet back then, I didn't find out that VC Andrews passed away in 1986, before the 5th book in the series was published. It was not until recently that I found out that Andrew Neiderman has been the ghostwriter for the series, although VC Andrews name is still attached to the novels. So in light of all that, when offered a chance to review Sage's Eyes, a new standalone, I was eager to read it.Sixteen-year-old Sage is a young girl on the edge of womanhood who was adopted as a baby. Her parents, in my opinion, are a bit odd, keep Sage pretty much away from the public, except for school. Sage has the ability to 'see things' in her dreams. Things that are a bit disturbing to her and others especially her mother. I did not like her mother one bit, a very cold unfeeling woman. Her father is slightly better as he sticks up for Sage once in awhile. Not only do they keep her from going out with friends or having any social life, they keep secrets from her. Secrets about who her parents were, who they are, drawers are locked and they are evasive when Sage asks questions.Because of Sage's abilities to see things, this has caused problems at the school she was at, because people are creeped out by what she knows because there is no way that she should know what she does. She makes friends at her new school is even reluctantly allowed to go to a party. She often makes the mistake of giving relationship and other advice, which can cause problems for her as she is not supposed to know things. Her friends look at her a bit differently but accept her anyway. One day a new boy arrives on the scene, she is instantly attracted to him and they have a relationship. Sinister things start to happen with the boy which causes her to question herself more and become more curious as to who she is and what her heritage is. This book is a fast read, at least, it was for me and I am not usually into YA books but I found this one to be interesting. I don't think you have to particularly read YA to find this book a worthwhile read.

      Sage’s Eyes is one very creepy book, with many creepy characters. Sage is a young adopted girl, whose parents are real martinets, as far as she is concerned. From early on, the book showed the reader that Sage felt she was different. She heard voices, had visions, and knew people and places she had never met, lived in or even been to. She does not quite understand why her parents are so protective of her and will let her practically not do anything except go to school and stay at home or with them, and will tell her nothing about their families or her birth parents, though it is obvious they know more than they are willing to say. Her mother, in particular, is extremely strict and totally unyielding in every way, while making Sage feel unwanted, unwelcome and always at fault with everything. Her parents as so abnormal in the way they react to and treat her that they come across as totally creepy. Her uncle, a traveling magician who pops in every now and then, is also creepy, though a bit less than her parents. Finally, the new boy she meets at school, Summer Dante, a boy who easily fits into any situation and can make friends with everyone from the get-go, is also creepy. This is the story of Sage’s life as a teenager among all the strangeness. The story does not cover years in Sage’s life, but it covers enough to make a reader wonder what is going on with all the creepy characters that surround her. The whole book moved along rather slowly, as each day Sage lived and became more confused and suspicious about what exactly was going on, passed in great detail. Most good authors could have moved the story along at a better pace, and it would not have dragged like this one did. Most of the story is consumed with how creepy Sage’s parents and friend are and how creepy they act and treat her while expecting Sage to act unnaturally. The only people who do not come across as creepy as Sage’s girlfriends at school and the boys in their lives, who are pretty normal and, like Sage, some question what is going on. There is a little bit of the paranormal in the storyline, but not a great deal. I found it a bit off that Sage, who is portrayed as a very intelligent girl, could fall so easily and quickly for Summer, who came across as such a strange high schooler. but I guess that was the way the author wanted show Sage being gradually entrapped in this web of deceit and creepiness. I have read and enjoyed all of the books V. C. Andrews wrote and find her writing as amazing as her ability to pull the reader into often unacceptable/unnatural situation, but the ghost writer, who has written the books since her passing, has never managed to replicate her style or writing ability. I received this book from NetGalley to read and provide an honest review.

      Sage’s Eyes by V.C. Andrews is set in Dorey, Massachusetts. Sage Healy has heard voices since she was child (she finds them comforting). Her adoptive parents (cold and clinical people) told her to ignore them. Sage also seems to know things about people and situations (and liked to blurt them out as a child). Her parents keep an eagle eye her like she is a bomb that will go off at any moment (or like she is a scientific experiment and they are taking notes). There is a new student at school named Summer Dante. He is intriguing and Sage is drawn to him. He seems to understand Sage’s gifts and he has a few of his own. He encourages her to use her gifts. However, his ideas of right and wrong are a little different than Sage’s. Sage is extremely tired of her parent’s secrets and wants to find out what they are hiding. Will Sage like the answers when she gets them? Will Sage use her gifts for good or will she be drawn to the dark side?I was so excited when I received the opportunity to read Sage’s Eyes (my daughter loves V.C. Andrews books), and I was looking forward to reading a good paranormal novel. I was extremely let down by Sage’s Eyes. There is very little paranormal action in the book. It is a very blah (boring, dull) book. The book is confusing (things are not really explained until the very end of the book) and it is so hard to get into it (I never did). Most of the book is devoted to Sage’s thinking (especially about how cute Summer is). Her internal dialogue took up the majority of the book (and it was monotonous). I give Sage’s Eyes 2 out of 5 stars (I did not like it). The book had so much potential but none of it was realized. We are also left with a very unsatisfying ending (like there will be another book to pick up where this one left off). I received a complimentary copy of Sage’s Eyes from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
