I can see why you'd say that. I hope that you do find time to read it and enjoy it! Thanks for commenting.

One of the things that really engages me in a story is realistic characters. In this young adult novel, even though Thea has special powers, she's a typical teenager. She just wants to be normal. She wants to go to prom and kiss a boy. In addition to the realistic characters, I enjoyed trying to figure out who was on her side. The line between good and bad was a bit blurred, which makes for greater enjoyment.
Realistic characters truly engages me in a story as well. Also, I like the blurred lines between good and bad.

Thank you for the great review as always.

This sounds absolutely brilliant! And the amazing cover is an unreal added bonus. I'm half expecting there to be something wrong with the characters or plot or something because it seems too good to be true. Definitely looking into this one! Thanks for the review. :tiphat:

It's one of my favorite genres (actually two in one, young adult and science fiction/fantasy). I definitely recommend it if that's your forte. Thanks!
