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.

In the genre of paranormal, books about Atlantis, conspiracies, and people with supernatural powers are staples. It's often difficult to find a unique story, and because of that, gems end up standing out quite a bit. This is one of those stories, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to read it!

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.

*I was given an eCopy of this book, from the author via YA Bound Book Tours, to read in exchange for an honest review. ( )

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.
