Despite my age I love young adult novels, but am not too much into the sci-fi genre. I'll pass on this story about Adam and Carly.

I have read the sample of this book, and while the plot is intriguing, Adam's thoughts about his mother made me uncomfortable, so I decided not to read it. Thank you for the wonderful review!

The characters here not only deals with their mutation nature but also go to school. This makes the book interesting.

The book succinctly shows the power of love and its ability to conquer all...asides the errors here and there it still is a page turner that keeps the reader enthralled in the sci-fi suspense

The story of mutated beings with biokenretic abilities sounds like an interesting read. I'm not a fan of Sci-fi books, but I'd love to read this. Thanks for the review!

Puberty on its own has a lot of physical discoveries that comes with it. All that plus finding out, by Adam that he's mutated must have really come with a lot of difficulties.

The book is a Sci-Fi fantasy novel that entails mutated Limbal rings, Russian ancestry, and romance. The author creates a mesmerizing tale with mutated humans, called descendants.
The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

A sci -fi romance with young adults featuring as main characters; I would say its right up my alley. I am intruiged with the plotline and what I find most fascinating that author hasnt only focussed on the mutation, but also addressed usual teenage issues. Congrats on BOTD.

I like how the author designed Adam’s character. His description and actions seem completely realistic. Another commendable thing is that the author very skilfully combines several elements such as mutated humans, romance, and Russian ancestry.

I find the premise of this book to be unique as it incorporates Russian ancestry and romance in with the sci-fi theme. The best part is the twist ending that is hard to predict. Congrats on the BOTD!
