Description
What if you had a glimpse into what others are oblivious to? According to the zodiac, the planet Neptune represents illusions, mystery, and the unconscious mind. Aries Dade is a teenage medium who has the ability to look inside those illusions and speak to the afterworld. But for some reason, she can’t communicate with her recently deceased mother. With the help of a few spirits, she tries to discover the truth behind her mother’s death. But can she trust the spirits? Aries and her father move to Newport Beach, California to start over.
Little do they know they are unlocking a world of lies, betrayals, and deception. And everyone they come in contact with is somehow intertwined with her mother’s death. When the star quarterback and a bad-boy senior vie for her attention, Aries senses something isn’t right.
Meanwhile, the rich, popular girls make her life a living hell to keep her from finding out the truth. First Glance is the first novel in the Neptune Window’s trilogy. Do you dare to glance inside the window?

As soon as Aries sets foot in her new school spirits bombard her mind leading her to clues and people pertaining to her mother's death. Between the popular football star and the high school bad boy competing for her affection and the cool girls hating her, no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect.Even the spirits contacting her may have ulterior motives! Will Aries finally find the answers she is desperately seeking or will she be sorry she ever set foot in Newport?
Neptune's Window: First Glance is the debut novel in a trilogy for L.L.Lewin and is a paranormal mystery romance with a sprinkling of astrology for fun. This book brings many familiar things together in such a unique way that it flows comfortably and still has this ominous aura that you crave from novels. I would recommend reading this book if you used to watch Laguna Beach or Pretty Little Liars. The book is YA but I think many generations will fall in love with Aries and the cast of questionable characters.
I read this book mostly at night and will admit I stayed up late several times for “just one more chapter”. The chapters are short which is convenient if you have time to just squeeze in a few pages of reading. I will warn you that this book ends in a cliffhanger with many questions left unanswered. I will definitely be reviewing the following two in the trilogy and can not wait until the next installment!

LL Lewin brings us an intriguing paranormal mystery with great emotion in Neptune’s Window: First Glance! After the death of her mother, Aries Dade and her father move to California to rebuild their life. But as spirits begin speaking with Aries, and all the people they meet seem to have some connection to her mother, she begins to discover that there is more to her mother’s death than first revealed. Lewin builds the tension and mystery really well through her fantastic description, and Aries was a really likeable character to travel an emotional journey with! This is the start to a compelling mystery that left me speculating on what will come next. If you love mysteries with a healthy dose of paranormal and young adult lit blended nicely in, definitely come take a peek through Neptune’s Window!
