Review: Oracle (Oracle #1) by C.W. Trisef

Summary-
From the Back Cover
Fall, current day, Atlantic Ocean. Another hurricane tears through the Bahamas, headed for Florida. Among the wreckage: a U.S. Coast Guard rescue boat, one survivor (Ret Cooper), and a spherical object of curious design (the Oracle)
Ret Cooper is a simple young man with mysterious origins, unique physical features, and no memory of his past. His new family and friends discover he is truly extraordinary, with supernatural powers and strange scars on the palms of his hands. But what is his destiny?
The Oracle is the key to Earth's unity and full potential, too perfect to be man-made. Legend claims it can unleash limitless power when filled with Mother Nature's six, pure, original elements. But where are these elements? And which of our planet's ancient secrets will be explained in the process of locating them?
The first book from new author C.W. Trisef will have you cheering for Ret as he travels a submerged road, discovers a lost city, climbs an electrifying mountain, and begins to unravel the mystery of the Oracle ... all during his first year of high school.
 
Review-
 I have to admit that I got pulled into this book very quickly. The story starts on an action ride and hardly ever slows down. Just when you think you know all the players and their motives.... Whatch out for the next ʺ what-just-happened moment. Very exciting and mysterious. The storyline is tricky to grasp until it all falls into place. That's when you think ʺWell I never expected thatʺ! I enjoyed the challenge of trying to figure it out before the author revealed the truth. The main character seems odd until you find out the reasons behind the oddness. The plot unravels & unwinds to reveal a refreshing & unique look into the past, present & future of the main character and the people who love him. I hope I get the chance to read the next installment to this very likeable story.
