I Adore This Series!
Kim Harrington's young adult debut novel, Clarity, instantly surprised me. Despite it's short length, I quickly fell in love with the story of Clare Fern, a girl who could see things that others couldn't. In Clarity, Clare's special ability helped her solve the case of a murdered teenage girl, along with the help of her ex-boyfriend and the new detective's son.

Perception was one of my eagerly-awaited books of 2012. I read Clarity last year for HH, and was pleasantly surprised to find that all of the people that pushed it on me were right. I loved Clare's voice and Harrington's breezy, engaging storytelling. I couldn't wait to get back into Clare's world. And though I think Perception suffered a bit from sophomore slumpage, I have to say, it was nice being back in her world.

I really do love reading the Clarity books by Kim Harrington. They are quick, fun, and easygoing. I usually polish them off in about a day, to give you an idea of the brevity. They are just pure fun.

Perception returns us to the life of Clare Fern, a young woman with an extrasensory gift who, despite having such, does not allow her life to revolve around or be dominated by the paranormal. Instead, we get a very real and down-to-earth girl plagued by insecurities, family troubles, and boy drama who holds us as spellbound as any of her supernatural contemporaries. The mystery element (in this installment a stalker) is nothing new or overly surprising, with a couple red herrings appropriately p

Clare Fern just wishes things could go back to how they used to be, when no one really knew who she was or what she could do. But after all the drama of last summer, when Clare was involved in solving a murder mystery, everyone knows all about her unique psychic abilities. Unfortunately, the last thing that Clare wants is this strange, sudden fame, where almost everyone in school wants to be her friend. She’d rather be left alone to figure out her own personal drama, particularly, what to do abo

I want to read this second book so badly because its blurb, what with the messages from a secret admirer that turn creepy, and it sounds exactly like it's up my alley, but I don't want to read the first book at all. I've done my research and it definitely doesn't sound like a "me" book. I'm not going to read something that I'm certain isn't a "me" book just to read its sequel, which may or may not be a "me" book.

Last year, I had the pleasure of reading Clarity by Kim Harrington. I was beyond thrilled to be able to obtain an early copy of Perception to review for the blog. I love this series!
Perception starts off a few weeks after where Clarity ends. Clare and the crew just started a new year in high school. With all that had happened over the summer, Clare now finds herself in the throes of popularity, much to her dismay. But things are far from normal. A new girl at East Port High has gone More...

Wow, can a book be perfect? Kim Harrington is back with a power house of a sequel. I absolutely loved Clarity when I had first read it, and I was blown away by how well Kim can keep you guessing throughout the story. She didn't slack up on that one bit in Perception. Everything picks up not to terribly long after the events in the first book, and everything is starting to get back to normal... for the most part.

I enjoyed the first book in the Clarity series, but book #2, Perception, is a real winner. Perception picks up again with Clare Fern, our somewhat-psychic sleuth. (Her family has psychic abilities and runs a business giving readings, but each family member has a different ability. Clare can hold an object and get insights into past events; she cannot see the future). Clare is dealing with her newfound celebrity status from cracking the case in the previous book; she's wrestling with matters of t

I really can't explain how freaking awesome Kim Harrington's books are. Clarity was such an amazing surprise-- I had no idea how awesome the story would be-- and Perception was another brilliant mix of suspense, hilarity and endearing characters that was just impossible to put down. Yes, I am totally sold on this series!

Perception starts out at the beginning of school year, this was nice because we got to see the social (or lack of) interaction, Clarity spends with her peers. I love Clarity she is without a doubt Veronica Mars' kick ass cousin haha. She's different (special) than those around her and while being different can get lonely, she refuses to take any crap from "popular" kids at school. She's sarcastic and knows who she is and I love her for it.

I love mysteries.
I think there should be more YA mysteries.
When I heard about this series, I was SO excited. A girl with paranormal abilities, in a family who also has them. They live in a Cape Cod beach town. Cape Cod is one of my favorite places.
Insta-love between me and this series!

Perception by Kim Harrington is a quick, witty, sacrastic, suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat type of book. Everything about this book was amazing. I was laughing for a moment then the next page I was being super-paranoid about stalkers and obsessions. Yup, this book has it all and is on the top of my list for 2012 releases! :)

Clare Fern's life is changing and she isn't happy about it. The popular crowd are suddenly paying her attention-and causing trouble for her with her boyfriend-stealing enemy, Tiffany. Her brother is acting differently and she has to figure out which boy, Gabriel or Jason, she wants to stick with. Just when Clare thinks she has enough on her plate, a girl from her own school disappears and Clare really wants to help-against her mother's wishes.

3.5 stars. Now that Clarity (Clare) Fern has escaped death thanks to her ex-boyfriend Justin and her involvement in the solving of a murder in her small town, she is left to decide which of the two guys in her life to choose from. Justin or the tall, dark and handsome Gabriel, son of the new police detective in town. Clare worked with him on solving the murder of a girl who her brother Perry had a fling with and therefore was briefly suspected for his possible involvement in her murder. This

Things have finally started to quiet down for Clarity Fern after the events that took place over the summer landed her in the spotlight. While she was happy not to be called the town “freak” anymore, by almost everyone, she preferred not to be the center of attention.

LOVED the ending! Once again Kim Harrington presents us with a fast-faced, fun novel full of romance and crime. This is a must-red for fans of Clarity if you need closure on which boy Clare ends up with!

I enjoyed this even more than Clarity. Harrington developed Clare's character even further, adding more depth. The supporting characters were fleshed out, and the mystery was layered and believable.

Again, I like this series. The character has psychic abilities that she uses to solve small town mysteries. Entertaining and fun. Clean with minimal launguage. If I was still in the classroom I would recommend this to my eighth grade girls.
