Reggie is a teenage girl who's always been different from everyone else. When she's suddenly able to bring a dead frog back to life during the middle of biology class, things take a turn. That's also when she dreams of a biker guy who tells her of this world called the Other.
I liked Reggie, but she believed everything that she was told a little too easily. She never questioned Asher taking her through a portal or the things she saw when she get to the Other. She simply shrugs and carries on. Even when she discovers someone has been less than honest with her, she quickly forgives them. That made it a little hard to see Reggie as this heroine that was going to save everyone.
Asher is our tortured hero, but even he was a little soft. I'd expect someone who lived what he'd been through to have a harder edge to him. Not someone who would easily trust or love. But that was not Asher at all.
I know this is a YA book, but I like mine with more angst and a little edgier.
