I’m not normally a big fan of young adult book. UT this is one that was well done, with a very interesting plot. I was happy to see something that wasn’t vampires for once too – I Like vampires, but It’s starting to become a little boring. So It was refreshing to see this lean to a completely different topic. The plot was what really grab my attention, I wanted to learn more about Lories and its former inhabitants, and as the reader, we’re only given small bits of information of the past life on the planet.

I also enjoyed Just reading about how John aka number four worked to Just survive – and the climax of the book had me hooked to the last ewe pages – and there were a few characters who were more to meet the eye, I wonder if more will be revealed In the next book. I had my issues with the book as well. The characters were good, some development throughout the book, but they were fairly cliche. Which is what you see in high school, all the groups (Socks, cheerleaders etc) but I wish It was a little less obvious. I plot at all, in fact, I found that the plot came to a standstill when the author wrote about it and there was too much of it.

I think having it helps the plot, but it should eave been toned down and put more in the background than it was. Overall, it was a good young adult book some pretty good action, a different type of paranormal/sic-FL book than what I’ve read (or heard about), and I will be reading the next book in the series at some point. Would I recommend it to read? I would, it was a good book. I only like a select few of young adult books, so I think this one is a good book to read if you are like me and only have a select taste in the genre. Also if you like books about humanoid aliens, that this is also a good book to read.
