|summary=''Perception'' continues in much the same vein as [[Clarity by Kim Harrington|Clarity]] with engaging characters, romance and fast -paced plot. Though it's nothing particularly exceptional it's a fast, fun read that will appeal to fans of the genre.

Clare's dramas are a nice balance between the murder-mystery side of things and some regular high-school drama, with queen bee cheerleader types, social outcasts and hot boys adding another layer of things for Clare to navigate. The family drama is good as well, with Clare's brother Perry not left entirely unscathed by his experiences in the previous book.
Though there was nothing that really surprised me, and a few very predictable plot turns, Harrington gets you invested enough in the characters to not really care too much. Like As I said, there's enough else going on outside of the murder-mystery that things never feel awkwardly padded out or make the pace drag. You want to know whether Clare is going to pick her ex-boyfriend Justin or good looking newcomer Gabriel, and you want to see Tiffany Desposito meet her social downfall.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable, light read for fans of paranormal romance and murder mysteries.
For a slightly more weighty, but incredibly enjoyable mystery series, try [[Shelter by Harlan Coben]]. You might also enjoy [[Dead Jealous by Sharon Jones]].
