Thank you for the arc, unfortunately I did not finish it, I just wasn't the right audience for this book.

Evolved Publishing and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Wind Catcher. This is my honest opinion of the book.

16 year old Juliet Wildfire Stone has visions and hears voices, although she has kept this fact to herself. On her 13th birthday, her Sicheii (Grandpa) tells Juliet the story of her birth, which she has heard numerous times. This time, however, he tells the whole truth: how he pierced her foot with a needle blessed by the Great Wind Spirit. It has now been three years and Juliet has turned her back on her Native American heritage, due to the fact that she is attending a private school where it is better to not stand out. When friends of her Grandfather, members of a Secret Native American Society, are picked off one by one, the police start to suspect Sicheii of wrongdoing. As Juliet realizes that there is more going on than she has been told, will she be able to sort out the truth from the lies before she is put in more danger? Will Juliet finally find out her family history and discover the secret that resides within her?

Wind Catcher is a book about a teenager who has tried to set aside her heritage, in order to fit in. When the truth is revealed to Juliet, I found it a bit unbelievable that her gifts would manifest themselves in such a way that she would be able to use them without training. The search for the truth was interesting, as was the mystery surrounding the deaths. The authors did jump around in the timeline a bit, leading to issues with the continuity of the story. I did like the Native American aspects of the story and the authors were very respectful towards Tribe customs and culture. Wind Catcher is a good start to a new series because it sets up endless possibilities for future plot lines. This coming of age story is unique enough to attract a range of YA readers and I will be looking forward to continuing with this series in the future.
