Book Description

July 20, 2010
Before that fateful summer night, Willow had balanced the insight of emotion, and the vivid images. That night, the figure in her nightmare marked her wrist with a star, giving her father no choice but to tell Willow a family secret that would abruptly change life, as she knew it, forever. Before Willow had time to absorb the shock of her father's secret, her soul mate that had shared every stunning dream with her, found her, and darkness captured her closest friends. In order to save them, she must weave through broken myths and the undeniable power of the Zodiac. In the end, Willow discovers that at the moment of our birth we are all given a divine gift.

More About the Author

Jamie Magee has always believed that each of us have a defining gift that sets us apart from the rest of the world, she has always envied those who have known from their first breath what their gift was. Not knowing hers, she began a career in the fast paced world of business. Raising a young family, and competing to rise higher in that field would drive some to the point of insanity, but she always found a moment of escape in a passing daydream. Her imagination would take her to places she'd never been, introduce her to people she's never known. Insight, her debuting novel, is a result of that powerful imagination. Today, she is grateful that not knowing what defined her, led her on a path of discovery that would always be a part of her.

4.0 out of 5 stars A superb young adult fantasy tale..., August 18, 2010
Insight by Jamie Magee was an interesting read. The creative fantasy tale focuses on power, family, true love and extreme trust. The journey begins with Willow, a teenage girl, suffering from nightmares who learns the truth about who she truly is. As long as she can remember she has suffered from dreams where she is frightened awake never clearly seeing the person's face that terrorizes her. However, she does hold onto the image of a very handsome man that appears in her dreams as well.

After one of her agonizing nightmares, Willow's parents inform her of her true existence and the mystical powers that lie within. It is then that she realizes that she is more than a teenage girl and her dreams,too, may also be real. What I like the most about the story is the depths that the characters go to find, love and protect each other. Once they meet, I envy the peace that overcomes them. The love they share with their families and soulmates is the very foundation of their existence.

After being informed of her abilities, Willow also finds that she has a soul mate who has searched a life time to find her. Before they can truly be together their love is interrupted by a sinister force similar to the visions in her nightmares. It is then that Willow, who has found peace, must fight the force to reclaim the love she has just found.

I highly recommend this fantasy book to young adults. It is a book that holds your interests from the first page to the last. The journey and triumphs that ensue are a tribute to the author's superb storytelling ability as each character, scene and battle comes to life. I only give the book four stars due to the editorial issues I found along the way. The story comes through vividly despite the errors but there are enough to make them noticeable and sometimes distracting.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Tender Tale Of Undying Devotion, September 16, 2010
By 
This review is from: Insight (Paperback)
After a series of tortuous nightmares, Willow eventually learns the truth of her existence: not only does she possess wondrous mystical powers, she's also the true love of a devoted soul mate who has traversed the natural boundaries of time and space to be with her. Before she has the chance to fully immerse herself in her new reality, though, a dark, sinister force threatens to destroy not only her life, but also the lives of her family and friends - forcing Willow into a climactic showdown with the manifestation of her greatest fears, with everything she holds dear on the line...

Superbly crafted, Insight is a richly compelling fantasy tale. In her gripping debut offering, author Jamie Magee envelops the reader in a magical world rife with mystery, danger, action, and adventure, simultaneously treating them to an endearing story about the unyielding power of true love. What results is a powerful account of good vs. evil that doubles as a tender tale of undying devotion. Combining such diverse elements into a holistic whole is no easy task, but Magee pulls off the feat in impressive fashion, most notably through solid character development, realistic dialogue, and a strong central plotline with more than its fair share of surprising twists and turns.

A solid debut from a promising new literary talent, Insight is sure to become a favorite of true fans of fantasy fiction. An engaging read.
