Artemis #2
Perceptions
A fourteen year-old boy is struck by a car and left to die in a derelict section of town. He is the latest victim in a rash of deadly accidents spoiling a hot California summer.
Artemis Andronikos, a beautiful attorney with a teenage of her own, knows the deaths are not the unrelated mishaps the authorities assume. The victims are Harbinger children gifted with extraordinary perceptive abilities. It has been seven years since the Harbinger suddenly appeared enabling people to foresee traumatic events. The new sense has proved most dramatic in young children. Now the prescient children are becoming adolescents. And the world’s power centers are becoming alarmed.
Artemis and her partner Lucy Breem, put aside their comfortable Maui lifestyle to investigate who or what is luring the children to their deaths. What they discover shocks the conscience. The ancients left a warning for future generations. The future of mankind has been wrested in the hands of the Harbinger children. And someone unexpected wants the power back.

Mary Eicher moves Artemis’ story about seven years after we left The Harbinger. It kind of picks up where the mystery left off, but if you have not read the first book, it is okay as Perceptions can be read as a standalone. I do not recommend it as the first book is perfection and Perceptions is missing some of what made me love Harbinger so much.
This is not to say that Perceptions is not a satisfying book - it is a good read. It has a solid mystery with an interesting twist which I think will come back to bite the characters in the butt later. This book focuses on the mystery and an origin story.
It also spotlights Angie’s role and her growth since becoming aware of her precog ability. Eicher’s use of Greek mythology is fascinating here as I once mixed this genre and astronomy myself in college and I love it.
I cannot wait for the third book in this trilogy as Eicher ends this book with a shocking bang for those who did not guess it. Perceptions is a twist on what you might assume.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.

Once again, Mary Eicher gets it done!! Perceptions is a heart pumping, love filled, laugh until it hurts, super fun and crazy mystery that takes the characters from The Harbinger and the science-fiction wildness to a bold new place. WHAT A GREAT READ!!!! As you can tell, I am a super fan of these characters and I love the story. I LOVE the series. Obsessed.
I think Eicher has one of the best abilities out there to create real people, characters you seriously care about - I swear Artemis, Lucy, Claire, WOLFGANG are real and I am dying to meet them all (sigh)... of course to meet Artemis in the flesh would have me standing slack-jawed and drooling like an idiot but I would risk it.
I don't usually read or write reviews (I don't like spoilers and I never understand why reviewers include them) but this series has me on fire and want the world to hear about it - I need more! THIS IS THE NEXT major movie franchise - please, somebody out there make it happen!!! Pretty please?
Take a chance on this series (start w/ The Harbinger) - it is worth savoring every last drop.

Second book in a sensational series and absolutely as good as it gets when you crave a science-fiction thrill mixed with characters that wrap themselves around you and make you adore them.
The writing is spectacular - charming, witty, fast-paced with ideas that are truly unique. It is so rare to find characters that live and breathe, that have been crafted into reality. It is an ability few writers possess and one Mary Eicher has perfected.
