Review Discovery of the Five Senses by K.N. Smith

Guest Review by Mark

When five teenage boys are given amazing supernatural powers, they will have to defend themselves against a criminal who is desperate to obtain all of the power that he can get his hands on. Alex, Chase, Kinsu, Rhee and Jordan are bright young men. Three of them are on the high school football team and, after a big win against the neighboring town, the boys decide to go on an adventure.

But not just any adventure, they elect to go into the local nature preserve after dark to have a look around. No one knows why exactly the Danville Heights nature preserve is off limits. Tales of strange lights, strange noises and scary things happening inside the beautiful tree-lined area keep the people of the town out of it’s depths. But the boys, being teenagers, are too curious not to go in.

At first, the preserve seems quiet and safe, but soon balls of light appear and begin exploding in front of them. The next thing the friends know, they are waking up at Rhee’s house with no memory of how they got there and with new, intriguing supernatural abilities. It takes them a little while to really notice, but all five boys have been given the gift of one enhanced sense each. But with these gifts comes trouble– a local criminal also possesses similar abilities and he is desperate to get his hands on the boys powers in order to enhance his own.

The five boys will need each other and the help of a dark stranger who was sent by the strange balls of light, to face this dire threat.

“The Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five Senses,” is a great YA Thriller that will get any readers blood pumping. It was written with young adults in mind but adults will enjoy it as well.  I certainly did! K.N. Smith has created a very intriguing story with lots of unique, well-developed characters with great world building. This book will leave you wondering what you would do with enhanced senses! Highly recommended, 5/5.

I received the eBook for my honest review.
