I enjoyed this book and am curious to see what the next book in the series brings.

Croucher did a great job of grabbing my interest from the very beginning as we are introduced to the main character, Reese, essentially while he is stealing a car. The story is about a teenager who went through a life-saving procedure when he was young and now odd things are happening that he can't explain. I feel like I am over-simplifying this by saying just that, but there are so many other things that come up during the story that if mentioned, would probably give some of the mystery away and everyone who reads my reviews knows I hate to do that.

Reese is a solid character. He is smart but he doesn't take himself too seriously. He seemed to just adapt to his "power" which I found interesting - there was no learning curve but I have to admit, as brief as this novel was, there probably wasn't time to build up to it. Erika was a good character as well. There is a bit of an instant attraction between these two but she doesn't necessarily believe everything Reese tells her..not until she has some proof, which I found completely believable.

There are some definite "bad guys" here and although there are levels of bad, I would consider them all to be quite dangerous to Reese and Erika. Based on where this book left off, I am interested to see what happens next for everyone.

This was a quick and fast-paced story that pulled me into the story. There were some things that seemed to just "happen" and I think that it has the right mix of science and action to keep the reader engaged in the story. Definitely check this out when you can.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the review copy!
