I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
When I first began reading this story, I wasn't sure how I would like it. It didn't take long for me to be drawn into the plot. I liked the main character Emily very much.
For the most part I did enjoy this book. After a few chapters though, the author seemed to run out of descriptors. One of the characters lines are spoken crisply and she speaks crisply quite often. And, I don't know, but it seemed to flow a bit awkwardly after the action really started. Like oh someone is attacking us, but oh now they're gone.
The ending of the story comes quite abruptly as well. The story is building up to a conflict between the good guys and the bad guys, the good guys see it coming because of their psychic abilities, they get going, and then they're faced with the enemy. So now it's gonna get good. And then one of the good guys figures out this easy way to defeat the enemy and it's all done.
This book is a fairly quick read. If you're looking for a quick Sci-Fi novel for the summer, this one would suit. It is a bit choppy, but overall a satisfactory story.
