Aurora is a special girl...she can fly. Huge secret to keep for a young person! She's a smart, loyal and trustworthy girl. She's beginning her journey as a grown up, by going to law school in Texas, all alone. She meets a girl, Bree, who quickly becomes her one friend in life. Aurora's philosophy is that you have an easier time keeping secrets if you have no one to tell them to. While at school, she meets a couple of Hollywood actors that are filming a movie on campus and around the area. Troy quickly becomes her favorite workout buddy. He's got a great sense of humor and seems very loyal. She meets Gavin by rear-ending her car. They discover a real chemistry with each other over a few dates. He's a very popular Hollywood actor, so they have their run-ins with the papparazzi.
Aurora lives in an appartment alone that is very close to a forest of trees. She begins to feel uneasy during the early morning runs she takes, when she sees shadows moving around in the treeline. This totally freaks her out. However, her first semester at law school is going well. She has made two friends and even has a boyfriend. Jump to the before finals camping trip with her classmates. That's when all hell breaks loose. Aurora is forced to reveal herself to save someone. She knows that she won't be safe now, so she runs.
Traveling to meet her mom and flee really takes a toll on Aurora as she was just beginning to love Gavin and think about spending her life with him. She meets up with a secret society who swear to protect and teach her everything. (I think that this part could have been described in more detail. The description here is very mild, we really don't know enough yet about what is really going on even after Konstantin and Carmen do their best.)
Withouth spoiling the rest of the storyline for you, we abruptly make it to where she meets more people gifted with skills no normal human possess. I liked this story. It was a super fast read for me, but it still was able to keep my attention. I didn't feel like there were any slow parts. As usual, when I find a series I like, I run right out and buy the next book, and that is exactly what I did here. I am excited to read the next part in this series.
