Twins Sera and Luke Raine’s unusual abilities are growing. Sera is healing vampires now, making them human again. And, at times, Luke can actually change the future he Sees.

But Sera’s healing has dangerous consequences, and though Luke is altering the outcome of more visions, he can’t control them yet.

Now Sera is in danger as the dark creatures of the Realm seek to use her. As Luke struggles to master his gift in order to save his sister, he discovers even more about his powers.

And what he learns just may put him in greater danger than Sera has ever been.
RATING: 4 out of 5 Stars

Imaginable is a befitting sequel for Intangible. In intangible, we learn about Sera and Luke's abilities and the dangers they faced. Imaginable continued from where Intangible left off. As with Intangible, the bond between Sera and Luke is unique. Also, the cast of supporting characters did a great job in lifting the entire plot and making the story interesting and seemed real.

Vampires are flocking to Sera to request her to heal them, to make them human again, but something seemed off. Sera was told to stop healing vampires but when she did refuse to heal one, she ended up being kidnapped. Luke and the gang must rush to save her, before something bad occurs...

Imaginable uses multiple POVs to tell the whole story and you'll get to read and understand what each character is thinking. Usually, I would avoid reading multiple POVs because it may confuse me but I have no such problem with Imaginable and Intangible. There's more to Sera and Luke's power in Imaginable which surprised me, especially Luke's. How interesting!

There's lots of Luke and Fey's interaction in Imaginable and then there's another Fae guy hovering over Fey. What's going on? And what's with someone from Sera's past coming back into the picture? What will be the future of Sera and Luke? You'll have to read Intangible and then Imaginable to find out.

Goodreads Summary:
Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.

Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.


My Opinion:
Intangible is about a twins, Luke and Sera, with the special ability to see the future and heal respectively. They didn't expose themselves to other due to Sera's bad experience with their grandmother despite Luke's warning. However, Luke has a vision of Sera being killed and he was desperate to find a way to change what he saw. But his vision never failed him once. Then, someone was looking for them right now for the power they possessed--someone in the shadows who made use of Marc... In addition, Sera had healed someone who was seriously injured and Sera felt a little difference when healing this lady, who took off running when she saw the mysterious man lurking a distance away. Who was the man? Who were hunting for the twins? Why did they have powers? You'll have to read Intangible to find the answers.

I love the way the story slowly builds up, giving me ample time to get used to the storyline and writing style. Intangible is special as it takes on multiple POVs (though still in third person POV) focusing on different characters throughout the whole book. Initially, I was a little apprehensive as multiple POVs tend to confuse me but I had no such problem with Intangible. It gave me an all rounded view from many characters, allowing me to understand each and every one of them. The downside of this is that it takes away some element of surprise from the story. Nevertheless, Intangible was well-written.

The bond between Luke and Sera was very strong in the story and this is what is so special about Intangbile as most other YA Paranormal books would have focused more on romance. The element of romance is still in the story but only to a small extent. I would have been happy if the romance element turns up to be good but that is why a second book in the series is needed, right? Despite everything, Intangible is a well-written and totally enjoyable book. There is obviously more things for Luke and Sera to be revealed and more about the Shadows. I'm looking forward to book 2.

Quotes
- “Don’t worry,” Sera said as she moved toward the door. “I’m not really here. I’m just…” She paused at the door, not sure what to say, turned back to look at Anne once more and smiled as inspiration struck. “I’m just an angel.”

- “Sera? Where were you?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Where were you?”
“Out saving the world,” she said. “My cape is drying on the porch right now.”

- “Hey.” Marc blew into his hands, rubbed them together.
“Hey yourself.” Luke toasted him with his coffee cup. “Grab a mug and a seat.”
Sera watched Marc stroll back to the bar to place his order.
“Close your mouth, Sera. You’re drooling.” Luke reached over to wipe her chin.
She swatted his hand away. “Am not.”
“Are too. Isn’t she, Fey?”
Fey’s eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them. A smile played on her lips. “I don’t think that puddle on the table is spilled tea,” she said.
