Faith Herbert can finally admit that she’s not a regular teen—and take advantage of her new flying superpowers. After the chaos of her first semester, Faith just wants to end her senior year in a normal way—enjoying all the hallmarks of graduating high school, like prom, with her best friends Matt and Ches.

But a new journalism teacher at school means things are off to a strange start, and suddenly Colleen Bristow, the quiet nerd-turned-supervillain, reappears, acting as if nothing ever happened. Fires are cropping up all over town. Then Faith hears that psiots have been going missing.

As if that weren’t enough, reports of sightings of Faith’s ex, the beautiful Dakota Ash, start to emerge. Everyone thinks she’s dead, but Faith knows better. . . . Will she make a reappearance?

As Faith tries to balance her quest with a memorable senior year and the heartbreak of Grandma Lou’s increasing decline, she learns to have faith in herself—and that sometimes fate will point you in the right direction.

Short and Sweet Review

Faith Herbert is back in this high flying sequel! This sequel picks up where things left off. Faith is starting her senior year and she’s going to try to enjoy it but things in town are still off. There’s a new journalism teacher, Colleen has reappeared, there’s been sightings of Dakota Ash, and psiots are going missing. Faith has a lot on her hands but she learns that with help and a little faith in yourself can go a long way.

The Faith Duology is about Faith’s origin story and a lot of that has to do with how she got her powers which we saw in the first book and in this book we saw a bigger focus on her grandma Lou’s declining health and how Faith was dealing with that. We also got more of an explanation on other psiots and what was happening to them. I love that Matt and Ches were always there for Faith because she had to make some hard decisions in this book and sometimes she didn’t make the best decisions but Faith did what she thought would keep the people she loved safe.

The ending felt a little rushed for me, I felt like I predicted where the final climax would take place but I think overall Julie Murphy did a great job wrapping everything up. We know where all the characters end up and I can say I’m happy. This was a cute series and Faith was a fun character to follow on this journey I loved her through the good times and the bad!
