I was given an advanced reader copy of The Yaphe with no expectation of review positive or otherwise, but I must say that I am rather impressed with this book and concept. I’ve had the pleasure of reading Ruthie’s other books as well, and I’ve seen her grow as a writer/author, Yaphe in my opinion is her most impressive book to date. The characters and emotions came alive on the page, and the concept is a unique one.
Serene Thompson is sixteen and tired of living a sheltered life with her family, she is ready to gain her independence. She wants a normal future, one that includes college, friends, a regular job, and a place of her own.
Unfortunately that future seems just out of reach, due to Serene’s overprotective parents, whose whole life revolves around her sister, Faith, and her troubling dreams. Whenever Faith has a nightmare Serene’s mother becomes more agitated. Whenever Faith has a dream about a people called The Yaphe her family packs up and moves again.
Who are these people called The Yaphe? Why is their Mother so afraid of them? And what mysterious secret is she keeping?
When she meets Jacob Dresden, a young man who promises to help her find her courage, and the future she wants. Serene trusts him, but something about his striking appearance is troublingly familiar.
When Jacob begins to raise questions about her mother’s motives for their strange life, Serene finds herself becoming deeply uneasy. Is he who he claims to be? By accepting his help, has she walked into a trap, and put herself and Faith in danger?
If you’re looking for an intriguing, excellent and unique read, I highly recommend The Yaphe!
I give The Yaphe: The Beautiful People five out of five stars…
Happy Reading!
