(First off: The Cover is beautiful.)
Quotes I love:
“Stop trying to protect me. It’s insulting, not endearing.”
I love this line said by Moira.
“We’re partners, nor friends.” This line is said from Moira
to James and then again it is used from Alex to Moira when she is trying to
make a point and I just love the reuse of it.
“Don’t ever call me a liability again,” she (Alex) hissed at
him. “I don’t have to,” he (secret) grinned widely. “You’re not anymore.” <-
this proves she’s getting stronger. You can’t be fifteen and weak in this
world.
-----Blurb:-----
Fifteen-year old Alex Cronlord just met the boy of her dreams.
Literally. Unfortunately, the dream involved him killing her. When she
encounters him at her school the next morning, Alex understandably freaks out –
and her mother’s bizarre behavior only makes it worse. What Alex doesn’t
realize is that she can see the future – which will get her into a whole lot of
trouble.
Across town, FBI Agent Moira McBain and her partner Andy Hall
investigate a series of house burnings in Dallas, Texas. When a clue leads them
to the Cronlords, Moira discovers a disturbing link between Alex’s family and
her own – which opens an old wound Moira has spent years trying to ignore.
Something is rotten in Dallas, Texas – something involving a secret
society, children with extraordinary powers, and human-looking creatures who
might literally be out of this world ….
-----Review:-----
Demons (Xorda), secret Societies (Wells Society), and
genetically altered DNA (children test subjects!), oh my! First off, I would
recommend this to plenty of readers, young adult, paranormal, light Sci-Fi, and
thriller lovers.
Fifteen year old Alex is a high school student with a loving
dad, a cold, but over all good natured mother, and a best friend that everyone
should have. After having a nightmare about being chased and coming face to
face with someone that is going to hurt, if not kill her, she is a little
rattled. But what makes this nightmare a reality is when she sees the supposed
kid at school.
Slowly her nightmare becomes real and with it her normal
life as a fifteen year old girl shatters and there’s no way in going back.
Secrets about her mother and the people she worked for known as the Wells
Society comes into the light and you find out that they are trying to create
genetically altered kids, one of which was Alex. Her parent’s marriage ruined,
Alex, her dad, and Moira, an F.B.I. agent, have to now stay a step ahead of her
own mother to survive. But the Wells Society isn’t the only thing to worry
about…
Dipping into John Abramowitz’s world of Weaver you can’t be
for certain what’s around the corner. Trust no one.
What I loved the most about this book is that as the story
started to unravel he really doesn’t explain who the bad guys are. I mean, you
have horrible things, and house fires, and runaways which have murdered and
done bad things, but who is truly the bad guy? Do you really know every person
as well as you think you do? The moment I thought I had it all figured out I
was hit with a twist that I both loved and felt sad about. The story does keep
you guessing and it’s great!
This book one hit every mark and then some. There isn’t any
real slow places, every scene is needed and some points are referenced back to,
conversations are important so you better pay attention, and you’re characters
are in depth, lovable, flawed, and kick ass. J
I couldn’t have asked for a better crew of characters in this book. The book
also had a good ending with plenty of mystery and questions to leave you wanting
more, but an ending that satisfied you temporarily. Haha I would still
recommend buying the next book, VOID.
