I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened to John Smith. To the world he's a mystery, but to me . . . he's one of us. Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us, if we all still believe in our mission.
There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another, but our Legacies are developing and soon we'll be ready to fight. Is John Number Four - and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who might be strong enough to bring the six of us together?
They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio . . . and failed. I am Number Seven. And I'm ready to fight.

WHAT I LIKE 👽 That there are two POV's because I read less about annoying John. 👽 Six. She's such a badass. 👽 Marina. 👽 Marina's sisterly relationship with Ella. 👽 Héctor Ricardo, because he's the town drunk with a heart of gold. 👽 That I got to see how differently the Cêpan react towards their Garde and their duty. 👽 The X-Men like powers of the Garde.
WHAT I DISLIKE 👽 That the two POV's didn't really intersect. 👽 John. He is such an idiotic character who makes so many stupid decisions. Six and Sam tell John not to go see Sarah. He selfishly leaves Six to fight the Mogadorians all by herself to see Sarah. Honestly, when Sarah betrays him, he deserves it. And then, in his selfish bid to get his Chest back, he leaves Sam all alone in the cave and doesn't go back to save the one person who has been there for him through thick and thin. 👽 The John, Six, Sarah love triangle. 👽 The John, Six, Sam love triangle.
