I found the character Martin wrote to make the villain oddly fascinating ... --Carolina Herdegen, Kiss the Book
While stories of teen characters with exceptional abilities are abundant, Martin offers an alluring blend of the paranormal with a more grounded, realistic storyline ... --The BookLife Prize Martin blends elements of thriller, science fiction, and teenage drama into a taut YA coming-of-age tale about a young girl struggling to find her bearing in the cozy town of Westbury, Vermont. Martin's keen understanding of adolescent psyche, sharp observations, and lively imagination command steady attention. A dazzling blend of thriller and SF, this is a knockout. --The Prairies Book Review The author's ingenuity in masterminding [the] genetic trait upon which much of his narrative is crafted is truly brilliant. It adds depth to those who possess it and greatly enhances the overall storyline. All who read it will be enthralled by the twists and turns that ensue and will wait with arms wide open for its sequel to be published. -- San Francisco Book Review While stories of teen characters with exceptional abilities are abundant, Martin offers an alluring blend of the paranormal with a more grounded, realistic storyline ... --The BookLife Prize The first half of the book is set up ... the second half of the book is a blur of flipping pages ...
