Kelly Carrero has done something fairly rare in my experience - written something that is fairly unique. The closest thing I can think of to what she has pulled off here is the movie Jumper, and even that lacked the execution of Ms. Carrero.

You can get the overall synopsis from the Amazon blurb, but what it doesn't tell you is that the ending sequence is fairly shocking... and makes you want to get the second book immediately. For those who came to Ms. Carrero before the followup was published a month ago, this had to be somewhat..... tormenting. ;) I know waiting on the third book is!

Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. I got it while it was free, and honestly I would have gladly paid the current price or even more had I known it was going to be this good. (Side note to Ms. Carrero: Smart marketing move doing the free/ $0.99 move on the first book. Honestly doubt I would have picked it up at $2.99, just because I had never heard of you - and I would have missed out on a GREAT book.)

Actual rating: 2.5

I wanted to like this book. I really did. The characters were very flat to me and I couldn't quite grasp any of the characters. I did enjoy the story itself as a whole. Of course, there were the problems in it. Things just seemed to happen with no explanation. There was also still too many questions at the end of this book for me to feel like it was completed. Sure, it may work to get people to purchase the sequels. I, however, will not be one of these people. I am also going to mention that when I started readin this, it felt like a Twilight-sequel novel minus the dumb love triangle. In the end, I do still get this vibe.
