After Obsession

I really enjoy books that take you on a wild ride of "What just happened here?" kind of action and boy does this book deliver. "After Obsession" is based in Mass. where our heroine, Aimee, has supernatural powers that are never fully explained and our hero, Alan (who is the new guy from OK and looks different from all the 'palefaces), taps into his Navajo culture (even though his mother thinks it's a lot of hooey) to try to save the day. They must try to save the town from the River Man who has been kidnapping and ripping apart citizens for at least 100 years.

The plot was good, characters were thought out and there was foreshadowing in this book. My problem was with all the unanswered questions. Where does River Man come from, how do you invite him in, why does Aimee have powers, why did I read this book? Just kidding, I liked that we get Navajo culture in this book. We see a spirit walk and learn about spirit warriors, it's all very fascinating, but we never learn where Aimee or her mom learned or inherited their abilities. (Which by the way is very frustrating).

I would recommend this book because it shows what can happen will you allow a thought or idea to possess you when you obsess over it. It does have two curse words it in, which is a whole lot better than most YA out there today. I definitely liked Alan the best in this book because of the courage and responsibility he shows when it comes to helping others out. I think it's also been set up as a series, so don't obsess too much over the next novel, as I could totally be wrong on that account.
