Wind Catcher: A Chosen Novel by Jeff Altabef and Erynn Altabef is a wonderful novel about a young mixed Native American girl named Juliet Stone. At her birth she became the chosen one. The one who would defeat the seeker, who wanted to destroy all of mankind, and starting with all of her friends and family unless she is strong enough to prevent it. Confused and thinking she is going crazy, Juliet works to calm the voices in her head. Now murders are beginning to happen and she knows all of the victims. To make it worse, her grandfather might be involved in the murders. Everyone is lying to her left and right and it is up to Juliet to find out who she can trust.

This book was absolutely wonderful. I felt all of the emotions that Juliet felt and was so enraptured with the book. I absolutely can’t wait until I get a chance to read the next book in the series. My favorite part in the book was when Juliet finally found out the truth. It gave me a great sense of relief that she wasn’t being lied to anymore. Not only are all the pieces of the mystery starting to fall into place, but the pieces are finally beginning to make sense. The confusion that Juliet felt goes away and you want to keep reading as the book goes on. I was actually kind of disappointed when the book ended.
