NEW REVIEW: T.R. Braxton - Sight

T.R. Braxton
Sight
Available Now!
4 out of 5 books


Nathan Walker is a young man who has a rare gift to do things with his mind. With this gift, he is able to protect his father, who’s a civil rights activist. The power of Nathan’s gift overwhelms him so much that he steps away from it. Due to a family tragedy, Nathan is determined to get revenge on the persons responsible. But the misuse of his gift may give Nathan more than he bargained for.

Sight is an interesting tale about the extraordinary gifts of a young boy. T.R. Braxton did a good job with showing how Nathan’s skills developed and how it changed the lives of his family forever. The storyline and scenes are very vivid and keeps you glued to the pages. You see the growth of Nathan throughout this story as well. There is a constant switching back and forth from the past to the present in this novel, which made it a little confusing to read. It would have been better if Braxton just had the story flow naturally from past to present instead of stopping the action to jump back into the past or vice versa. Sight is still an engaging novel for those that want something different.
