No current Talk conversations about this book. 3.75 Stars An interesting plot with some fun characters (the humans and the people from Atlantis). The Atlantean descendants have supernatural powers (mostly mind powers), but can blend in easily with humans. The MC learns of the other species and gets caught in the middle of a clan war. There is a little teen angst, but it's not over the top. Not all of the storylines are explained, but if there are any sequels, perhaps these will be developed. Overall, an easy read and a good choice for YA readers, especially the Sci-fi/supernatural fans. Net Galley Feedback no reviews | add a review
Seventeen-year-old Alison McKye isn't normal--in fact, she isn't even human. She's a Dewing, the offspring of descendants of Atlantis, left to grow up in the care of humans. She also has mental abilities that she doesn't understand. After a chance encounter with another Dewing who warns her that her abilities make her dangerous to her adoptive family, Alison tries to make herself as invisible as possible, drab and friendless. That is until she meets Ian and Brandy, and her life is turned upside down overnight. No library descriptions found. |

Even from the first chapter, this story felt different and fresh. From the writing style to the characters' personalities, this book offered a new story, and actually left me guessing what would happen next. Each character was unique and interesting as well. I loved Alison's uniqueness and strength, which I loved watching grow from quiet to a raging fire. Mixed with Ian's incredible character, they were an amazing match. To add another dynamite personality, the sweet and lovable Brandy, who was probably one of my favorite parts of the story.
Overall, this is definitely a book I'd recommend to anyone who's a fan of good writing, paranormal adventure, fantasy and romance.
