This book surprised me. I love the cover, but was unsure of purchasing the book. Thank you, Amazon for the "sample" read. The book captured my attention and kept it. I bought the book and kept reading. Once I finished it, I looked back and realized I needed to write a review. The book's premise is complicated. The characters have real flaws and there is a large fantasy element in that it is science fiction, and romance (not too big on this element), and a thriller. The book is a lot of things. I found it enjoyable and a great thrill ride, and a bit scarey if such a thing were to happen. I'm not sure if there will be a second book. However, I'm looking at this author's other work because her writing style is compelling and interesting.
Were there flaws in the book or story - sure. There are always flaws in every book you read. Some books have them better disguised than others. The important thing to ask as you finish a book is this - did you enjoy the "ride"? I very much enjoyed the ride, and would take that ride again. This story deals with some elements I normally don't choose to read - science experimentation on humans creating people with unique abilities (okay, I do read about this in romantic fiction and enjoy it) - government and secret agencies handling/hiding the science experiments/experimentation (I'm not big on government stuff) - however in this book, it worked. The book has a lot going on, with a lot of different point of views, and you move around in these people's minds as the story advances. This is not "descriptions" per se. You are dealing with internal dialogue. I guess I liken it to a psychological thriller, where you are in the minds of the people and that advances the story. It might not be for everyone. I didn't think I would like such a book. I was wrong.
This author hooked my interested and kept it through the whole book. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. That's good writing. I highly suggest you try the sample if you are not sure. That is what hooked my interested enough to buy the book. I really liked the heroine and being in her thoughts. Happy reading.
