Review
I was very excited about reading this book after reading the blurb, and it was good, I liked it but …………………
The audiobook narration was BAD, way too fast, I mean she didn’t take a breath, I had to slow the book down to 0.9 for it to even make sense, and it was soooo mind numbingly monotone, I honestly thought it was going to send me to sleep!
That being said thank god that Mrs Quinn is a good writer because it kept me listening.
It is a VERY quick read, I was doing this as a buddy read, started it, and before you knew it I was on chapter 10!!
It starts off a little slow but then WHOOSH it throws you straight in.
Kira is a Zero, a nobody, a no-one! The reason for this is because she has not changed, she cannot read minds like everyone else, and worst of all they cannot read hers.
Turns out though that she can’t read minds but she can jack into them, (jump into your head and control your thoughts / feelings etc.) which is much cooler in my opinion!!
Now the book kind of takes a twist at this point and is very quick to jump into the main story, considering Kira has only known about her abilities and what she can do for about 6 weeks, she certainly learns quickly how to do things that other people can’t, and have been trying to do for years.
Simon was a pig and I didn’t like him from the start, he was slimy and weird!
All being all I liked it and I will read the next one in the series to see where is ends.
