Review Detail

Reader reviewed by lesliek

I really enjoyed reading this book. It's very colorful and the characters are interesting. From the first page you get swept up in the main character, Kell's journey. It would be easy for a book like this to go over the top or get kind of predictable, but there are a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing the whole way through. I particularly enjoyed the stuff with Shadow Sinn and The Land Alive.

The group that Kell gets swept up with is the Unit, led by Cutter, and though they all have supernatural abilities, the story isn't a "superhero" tale. If anything, these guys are anti-superheros, trying to protect what's rightfully theirs on their own territory. Being with them turns out to be the best thing for Kell because it helps her mature as a character, learn more about her powers and accept who she is.

It ends on kind of a cliffhanger so I'm glad it's a series. Can't wait for the next one!
