Man I was really looking forward to reading this book! While the cover was just average, the blurb seemed pretty interesting with its high-concept premise. I actually started reading it in December. This month, I picked it up again, not remembering why I didn't finish it. A few pages into chapter 7, I remembered why.

I wasn't sure what I would think of this book, but I really ended up enjoying it. I loved that it was told by two characters, it gave you an interesting perspective on the story. At first the book was a little slower than I would normally like, but it quickly sucked me in completely and got much more exciting. I really can't think of a negative thing to say it was a very good book.

If you are a fan or paranormal, sci-fi romance, or even dystopian you should definitely give this book a chance. I think you will really enjoy it. ( )

This book is about Kenzie, a freshman in college, who has always felt out of place in the world. She soon finds out that she is different. As an adept she has the ability to steer people thoughts and decisions in certain directions. Kenzie comes into her power very late in life and has to deal with learning to control her ability while learning about the power structure in her new society. The story switches between Kenzie and her Boyfriend Greg (who is a "common") points of view.

This book was great! It had a new and very original spin on the concept of controlling thoughts and actions. The characters were extremely believable, and their relationships interesting and realistic. I highly recommend this book! I can't wait to read the sequel! ( )

What a great book.Well written and gripping to the end. I really enjoyed reading about Kenzie. She has something that we "common" people don't have. She's an adept meaning she is one of a group who have the apptitude to steer people's thoughts in a certain direction.
Can't wait to read the sequel. ( )

Honestly if you are a sci-fi fan, urban fantasy fan or just someone looking for a good read. Pick this book up right now. This. Book. Is. Excellent. It has a solid intriguing plot with well thought out characters who maintain believable relationships. It is absolutely wonderful to see the seer amount of character development coming from every member of the cast big or small. It has been a long time since I've enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed this one.

The plot develops slowly, enticing you into the world that Terri-Lynne Smiles has created. Reading it I could tell just how much thought went into creating it -- she thought of the social, and economical impact 'adepts', people who can read all the possible futures and influence which one they want to happen, would have on a modern society. In the beginning the story isn't necessarily fast-paced but it is griping and I found myself unable to put the book down.

Did I mention that the characters that make up the cast are fantastic? Did I -- because I don't think I can stress that enough. I loved the main characters of Kinzie and Greg and their relationship with each other. The friendship and romance between the two of them unfolds perfectly and at such a believable pace that you can't help but root for them. The 'bad guys'? I loved to hate them! They were so well done and despicable that at some points I wanted to shout 'No' at the book! One part in particular that stands out in my mind is when Rex influences one of Greg's friends to swallow a cue ball. The colourful supporting cast is amazing as well and have meaningful characters interactions with each other and the main characters -- they aren't just a cardboard backdrop.

What I like best about the books is that you are given all the clue to try and figure out the plot along with the characters. So as you go through the book, the connections that you start to make (sometime before the characters do) only add to the incredible suspense that this book already generates. Nearing the end of the book I swear my heart was in my throat the entire time as I worked my way to the books finish -- not knowing how things were going to end up.

In short. Read this book. It's intriguing. Smart -- makes you think. Awesome characters. Well thought out plot. Fantastic story. I'll be recommending this one for awhile! Can't wait to read the next one in the series!

10/10 stars (See review policy on my blog (http://fictioholic.blogspot.ca/) for star rating details). ( )
