Oh I like Sci-Fi genre. And mutated humans! Sounds so interesting. I am working in biology-genetics fields. So maybe I can have an idea for a project. Jk. Not in human though. Haha. Definitely will put it in my bookshelf!

Creating a16-year old character with special abilities is something to relish. It will be awesome to see how Adam manages his genetic change and the myriad of teenage issues he has to deal with.

The initial change sounds like it would have been terrifying for Adam once he was able to figure out the change for himself rather than through Carly. It is an automatic relief that someone was around to allow him to keep his head! The plot sounds intriguing, and I am more than willing to give this novel a try in the future. Thank you for your review!

This book is not quite my cup of tea, so I'll pass on it, but I think it's great that it had so few errors and was a fast-moving story. Thanks for the great review!

Unfortunately, I am not into reading about superheroes. However, this sounds like a really fantastic read for fans of science-fiction, fantasy, romance, and superheroes. Great review!

After reading the sample, I decided that this book isn't for me. The author's style of writing does not appeal to me, nor the fatalistic way the main character is portrayed. Thanks for the review

This book seems to be a unique and beautiful YA sci-fi fantacy novel. The storyline about mutated humans with biokenretic abilities makes me want grab the book as soon as I can. Great job on the review.

I love this book as it reveals decisive superpowers amidst romantic relationship. Infact, this book is a mind blower to me because i really love fiction mixed with mathematical facts!

This sounds like a good book that can be made into a movie. It's the first book of its series, and a well-written fantasy novel.

I am not a big fan of YA stories, especially when they have a romance plot, but the balance between Adam and Carly sounds so well done that I want to check it out! Great review!
