Select few, review

Hi!

This book was so good, I don't understand why it took me so long to start reading it!

After rejecting the cult-like influence of her father's family, Julia moves into a fancy hotel in downtown Austin. But she finds herself alone except for her boyfriend, John--and her fears. Once again she's suppressing her abilities, afraid her family will come for John when they find out he's been developing abilities of his own in her presence. The FBI is also keeping a close eye on Julia hoping she can lead them to her father, Novak, as he's wanted for questioning in his former assistant's death.

With tensions high, Julia and John agree to go separate ways for the summer, paving the way for Julia to reunite with Angus, fellow outcast. Together they set out on a road trip to California to find Julia's mom and a way into Novak's secret underground world. Along the way Julia will learn the Puri perhaps aren't the only humans evolving into something different. . . and that maybe she's the leader her people have needed all along.

First of all, I have to talk about the cover design: it's so appealing and well done. I love this cover !

This book came out about a year ago and I was pleased to receive a copy through the publisher. However, I never felt so keen to read it and it ended up spending a lot of time on the shelf. But I musts say: it what a terrible mistake.

I can't say much about the story, but I can say that I loved it!

It was so good to reconnect again with these unique, well-built and captivating characters. I enjoyed following their development and growth. I also liked how the characters opened their eyes and understood what was happening. I liked how they fought for their independence and what they thought was best for them!

As for the plot, I really enjoyed it. I feel that not everyone is able to like the way this book went, but I loved it. I really needed something like that. I am referring to the fact that this book focuses so much on romance and how Julia feels and not so much on the development of the world. Although I really enjoyed what I learned about the world, I think there was still room for further explanation. However, as it is a duology, I think it is not a huge failure since there are only two books.

Lastly, the writing is fluid and interesting.

I give this book 4.2 out of 5.
