It took me a chapter or two to get into Indigo Incite.. After a few pages, I was getting a little leary of the thought of reading an entire book that I wasn't "into". I worried needlessly. After a chapter or so, I was pulled right into the story and really enjoyed it!
One of the things I loved about this book was that it is this fantasy novel about Indigo Children with extra powers, yet it's set in our modern present day world. They are hiding in plain sight! I love books that are made so realistic that you sit and begin to wonder if it's truth hidden in the form of a 'fantasy' novel. Jacinda did that for me. I felt she spent a lot of time researching and making the book as plausible as possible. A well flowing book with surprises, some romance and a group of strangers that come together to help each other! I ended the book, anxious for the next in the series!
My only negative that I had was the formatting/editing of the book. This could have been 100% my copy but it did distract from my reading the book and is the only reason I am giving it less than 5 stars. There were several places where spacing was left out, and others where there were spaces in the middle of words making me have to look twice to figure out the word. In addition, the chapters weren't separated in the normal manner- just a space and then a new chapter, not a new page. This made for hard transitioning especially when chapters switched between characters. Again, this may only have been with my review copy, I am not sure but thought I would mention it. If these errors were corrected I would bump my review up to 4.5! At this point, I'm giving it a solid 4 and anxiously await the next in the series.

I didn't have any expectations diving into this novel but it was nothing less than a wonderful experience. The concept, indigo teenagers trying to stick together to save themselves from imprisonment while at the same time attempting a rescue mission, is interesting and action-packed. "Indigo Children" is a term used for people who are able to use a part of their brain only available to those with a slightly difference in DNA, which gives them access to special abilities. These abilities vary from healing powers to telepathy.
There are tons of characters in this book. I love how all of them are unique in both personality and dialogue. Their abilities vary, which makes for some interesting scenes between the characters. I enjoyed the connections that happened between certain characters and the understanding all of them shared about their common goal. There is a little bit of romance in this novel but it does not overpower the story and only adds a different layer to it. I really liked the pairings and I am looking forward to exploring their relationships in the next novels.
Some chapters were a bit slow, probably because this is the first book in the series and it was used to set up the story and its characters. However, the majority of the novel was fast-paced and kept my interest. Even though I had some issues with the placement of some of the commas throughout the novel, I still enjoyed Buchmann's writing style and the way she set up her story.
Perfect for fans of the I Am Number Four series, Indigo Incite is a fast-paced and absolutely thrilling read.

I love this book. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. Great for young adult and adult alike. Not only is the story well written, the characters are well developed, and the pace perfect for the story, I really like the fact that this trilogy does not leave you hanging on all accounts like so many of the new series on the market.

I love this genre, and the book was simply great. Buchmann did a wonderful job describing the characters and their backgrounds. Realistic relationships and characters while having a suspenseful plot full of supernatural abilities and interesting surprises. Those interested in Indigo phenomenon and like fantasy/sci-fi novel will love this book. Can't wait for the next book!

Thinking about You
Indigo Incite by Jacinda Buchmann starts out with a great premise. That there are children being born into the world with special powers, unique psychic gifts that can change society for the better.
And, of course, we have a big, bad bully opposing them. Or rather seeking to manipulate their gifts for evil intent. This is the very well disguised United States Government, who has been kidnapping the teens and trying to weaponize them.
I would have given this book a better rating if the plot had gotten to the point a lot earlier. I know this is a series, however, I suspect that the three books would have been better off combined, but that is just my opinion.
Don't be dissuaded by my rating, Indigo Incite is a fun little read and, as I haven't read the sequels yet, the story may get better.

Indigo Incite is the first book in a new paranormal series about indigo children with abilities. Indigo children are young adults or kids with telepathic skills. The abilities differ for each person. Such abilities are reading minds, opening locks, reading auras, influencing emotions and healing.
The story starts of from Tyler's perspective. His foster mom sent him to military school as he was accused of stealing. Despite being separated from his twin brother, they continued to talk to each other everyday through their telepathic connection. Fast forward to two and a half years later, Tyler was at a barn as he worries over his brother. Toby has not talked to him for three days and didn't respond even when Tyler tried to reach out to him. Tyler eventually finds out that Toby was kidnapped. Toby informs him of others who were special like them and sent Tyler out to find them in order to save Toby.
The writing of the book was really easy to follow. I thought the idea of indigo children was unique as I've not heard of it at all until I read the book and did some research about it. I also enjoyed the little references with science, as science was one of my favorite subjects in secondary school. It was really nice.
The story is told in multiple POVs. The positive side to this is that we get to learn and know what's going on in each character's mind. However, that would mean that we get to spend lesser time with each character. Hence, there really isn't much character development. I'm not too particular on character development but I do wish to see some growth in the sequel, Indigo Instinct. I did enjoy reading the POV of the different characters as they each have very distinct characteristics and voices. It made the story more interesting as they switched perspectives. I have to be honest that I got confused in the beginning because I didn't know that the POVs were going to change throughout the book.
While I think the story is unique and interesting, I do have quite a few problems with it. I felt that certain scenes in the story should be more developed and written more clearly. The indigo children are on a mission to save Toby while running from being captured. There should be a sense of urgency as I read the book but I felt calm and serene throughout the whole book, except once or twice where my heart was beating loud against my chest. And that was right at the end of the book.
Emotions play a big role in whether I will enjoy a book. I wished there was more action or problems they had to overcome as they were traveling because it would have made me feel more pumped up and got my heart racing! I want to feel that excitement. That joy. Sadness. Anger. I want to feel.
Nonetheless, I still thought it was a good book and I enjoyed reading it.

3.5/4 Stars
Toby and Tyler are twins living in a foster home after their mother’s death and their father’s abandonment when they were toddlers. Connected in more ways than just being twins, they are able to speak to one another telepathically, reads others thoughts and move objects with their mind. Tyler is sent to military school after being blamed for a crime he didn’t commit. Two years later, Toby is kidnapped by a government agency. Toby is able to warn Tyler of the agencies intentions to kidnap him and other people named on a list. Toby is able to give Tyler the names of the individuals that will be able to help free Toby. Through this journey Tyler, Liliana, Grace, Eddie and Sarah are able to discover information regarding their abilities as Indigo Children and the government’s intentions with others with the same and similar capabilities.
Indigo Incite is a great YA story. There is a lot of suspense and the characters begin to unravel the truths of their abilities as their journey progresses. The story is very dialogue heavy and at times I found the transition between characters during a conversation difficult. The dialogue isn’t broken up with a so and so said or stated. Instead the dialogue flows without a break to declare who made the previous statement. I also found that there were too many “attractions.” I liked the relationship that developed between Tyler and Liliana, but as the story continued I found that each character noticed another, or was attracted to another almost instantly and I felt that it actually took away too much from the story. There is a cliffhanger at the end, but it is a great lead into the next story.
I did enjoy the story of Indigo Incite. I really think it would make a great movie or even TV show. There is so much that could be done with the plot and there are so many characters that it would make a very interesting and detailed show or movie. This is a great YA/Teen paranormal book.

Tyler and Toby were twins who were able to communicate telepathically no matter the distant. it was a secret they shared and never revealed to their foster parents. after Tyler got sent to a rehabilitation school for stealing, he was worried when Toby haven't contacted him for days. when he finally heard from Toby on the third day, he found out that his brother was kidnapped by an agency that collected gifted children and they will soon be coming for Tyler. before they caught him, Toby instructed his brother to gather four other Indigo Children - Eddie, Liliana, Grace, and Sarah. to maintain their freedom, they had to work together.
i received a free e-book from the author in exchanged for a review. i was extremely pleased to find the book not repeating itself every single time the group made themselves known to another Indigo Children, a mistake many books often made. with so many characters involved, i was surprised that i had plenty of chance to get to know each and every one of them, even feeling some sort of attachment, eager to see how their combination would work out. i also didn't expect to find Eddie the leader of the pack, usually the lead would stick with Tyler since he was introduced first. but then again, i was equally impressed that the book managed to make everyone its main character, giving everyone their moment and still managed to make each and everyone memorable. other than being an absolutely easy read, their journey and adventure was so intriguing and fast paced, it was impossible to put the book down. now that i am so completely hooked, the second installment is going to be an agonizing wait.

Grammar/editing: A – near perfect
This is an excellent young adults' book. Tyler, Toby, Liliana, and Grace are high-schoolers. Eddie is in college, and Sarah is a military wife with a baby on the way. They are all Indigo Children. Children who have exhibited extra powers. When Toby is kidnapped, his twin brother, Tyler, joins forces with the others in order to bring save his brother and protect them all.
In addition to the spy/fantasy/thriller storyline, there is a strong theme of love, both familial and romantic.
It's hard to believe this is Ms. Buchmann's premiere novel. The story is quick-paced enough to keep you engaged, while providing all of the information needed to understand their unique situation. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to the continuation of this trilogy.

Tyler and his twin brother have gifts, when Toby is kidnapped it's up to Tyler to find others like them and rescue him.
This is they journey of several gifted people not just Tyler and Toby we see through their eyes as they discover each other and try to figure out what to do. There is a romantic element to the story but it's just an extra thing to this story as a whole you see a group of people discovering they are not alone and how they can work together to help each other. I loved seeing the mystery of them trying to figure out what's going on and learning to use their abilities together.
Tyler is such a strong lead and I loved seeing his loyality to his brother and willingess to do anything to save him. And watching everyone interact with each other makes you feel like you right there in the story. Had fun getting into this world and can't wait to see more of it!

October 8, 2019Behold - blurbs with fucking titles for seperate parts!
There is one in particular I wish to erase from existence: "Time is running out". I guess a little bonus point for not phrasing it as "they're in a race against time". This made me ask: do time constraints actually make a book more exciting? I think not.

You can read this review and more on my blog:
I received a free copy of this book from the author via Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review.
I found the overall tone of this book to be pleasant and refreshing to read. I was impressed that the author didn't feel the need to add a lot of violence and profanity to make the book feel more dramatic. This is a book that I would feel very comfortable handing over to an eleven year old because not only would it be entertaining for them to read, I wouldn't have to worry about them walking away with a confusing message.
I am able to enjoy reading Young Adult novels at my age because a lot of them are very adult when it comes to the content, but Indigo Incite is a rare find in this genre. It felt like it was actually written with young adults in mind. The plot was interesting but not too difficult to follow, the romances were sweet, and the action never turned into violence. If you are a parent searching for something safe to give your children, this book should go at the top of your list.
There were a lot of characters to keep track of, and that usually becomes frustrating for me, but I was able to keep up well with the different point of view shifts.
Tyler and Toby are twin brothers who lost their mother at a young age and were abandoned by their father shortly after her death. The story begins when Toby is kidnapped and psychically contacts Tyler and warns him that the people who are holding him hostage will soon be coming for Tyler and four others because of their special abilities. Armed with a list of names, some interesting psychic powers, and a large amount of bravery, Tyler sets out to find the other people on the list and rescue his brother.
The first person Tyler finds is Eddie, an extremely intelligent 18-year-old college sophomore who, among other things, has the ability to hack electronics with his mind. Next is Liliana a beautiful 16-year-old who can read minds and see auras. Both Eddie and Liliana believed Tyler very quickly and it was rather easy for him to convince them to abandon their lives and run away with him. The next name on Tyler's list was Sarah's, and Sarah was not so quick to just up and follow a bunch of kids she just met. Sarah is 20 years old, married, and expecting her first child in a few months so she is understandably reluctant to believe them when they tell her that she is in danger. Last but not least is Grace, and she is my favorite character because she was the most realistic. She complained and worried way too much about boys considering the danger that they were in, but that's what some 17-year-old girls do so she was authentic.
All of these people have amazing psychic abilities, and that is why a rogue government agency called the IIA is hunting them down. Serious stuff right? Well, actually this is one of the nicest books that I have read in a very long time. All of the main characters are nice and even villains are pretty polite. I felt like the story lacked suspense because everyone was so darn sweet!
There is drama in this book, but most of it come from the romantic aspects of the story. Tyler and Liliana like each other, Eddie likes Sarah but Sarah is married, Grace likes Eddie but Eddie likes Sarah, Sarah is married but I think she also likes this guy named Ian/Cameron, and Toby likes Rebekah, a girl he meets while he is locked up. There was so much liking going on that I almost lost track, but the romances were all very adorable and clean.
I would recommend Indigo Incite for anyone who is in the mood for a fun and easy read!
This book was very, very clean and I would recommend it for ages 10 and up.

A clever, intriguing and gripping read, 5 stars! Full review to be posted on my blog on the 23rd January during the 'Indigo Incite' blog tour. http://www.oldvictorianquill.wordpres...
I received a review copy of this book as part of the Indigo Incite blog tour.
I always love fantasy books that have a basis in real life issues and scientific mysteries that are arising in our own generation.
‘Indigo Incite’ has am almost modern-day dystopian feel to its style, with the corrupt government using their power to collect talented individuals whose powers they use for their own gain.
I absolutely adored ‘Indigo Incite’, and all of the characters that I was introduced to throughout the story. I loved feeling sceptical of who to trust when it came to looking out for the fivesome as they journeyed their way to find Tyler’s brother. I really liked how realistic the characyers were, and that the world didn’t just stop so they could go on their adventure. They had to work around their daily responsibilities, and especially hard for the younger members of the group, they had to find a way to escape for a few days without their parents or guardians knowing.
The reminder that money was short and that using mobile phones could lead to them being tracked gave a stark realisation that trying to hide and keep yourself safe in the modern world can be an extremely hard and dangerous job. Having Eddie and Sarah as slightly older and more mature characters made the book relatable to a wide range of readers, with the younger members giving some sweet light relief as we see their minds being often occupied with teenage matters such as romance, as well as making the novel very original in its main characters being so very different and yet all having a great power in common.
I loved the relationshios that were formed between the gamg and especially Eddie’s conflicted feelings for Sarah and Grace. It’s so rare in a book that I feel sympathetic fora character who has feelings for a married woman, but Eddie was so genuine a guy that I knew he would never let his feelings be a burden for her.
I also squealed in excitement at the idea of Indigo Children. When I was studying Psychology at University, I was always intrigued by the idea of Indigo Children, especially when working with children on the Autistic spectrum. I really admire how Jacinda Buchmann created this other, unseen, part of the world and made it seem not only realistic but also food for thought that maybe science is discovering something aboutIndigo Children, and at what lengths certain organisations would go to harness this little known about power for their own gain. I also liked how obviously well researched this novel was in the psychological side, with a young boy with Autism showing similar powers, particularly as Autistic savants were what first brought the idea of Indigo Children to the table.
Sorry for that Psychological splurge there…I will get back to the story…
Sarah’s character and her relationship with the ex-tracker was beautifully done. I loved his protective side and how he found his new calling to protect her unborn child after living in exile for the past few years. I liked the hints of romance between many of the characters and am excited to see which of these will grow further in the rest of the series.
An action-packed, thoughtful and beautifully heartwarming read, as a wonderful group of characters come together to help Tyler find his brother, and to protect themselves and other like them from being used against their will.
I received a review copy of this book as part of the Indigo Incite blog tour.
I always love fantasy books that have a basis in real life issues and scientific mysteries that are arising in our own generation.
‘Indigo Incite’ has am almost modern-day dystopian feel to its style, with the corrupt government using their power to collect talented individuals whose powers they use for their own gain.
I absolutely adored ‘Indigo Incite’, and all of the characters that I was introduced to throughout the story. I loved feeling sceptical of who to trust when it came to looking out for the fivesome as they journeyed their way to find Tyler’s brother. I really liked how realistic the characyers were, and that the world didn’t just stop so they could go on their adventure. They had to work around their daily responsibilities, and especially hard for the younger members of the group, they had to find a way to escape for a few days without their parents or guardians knowing.
The reminder that money was short and that using mobile phones could lead to them being tracked gave a stark realisation that trying to hide and keep yourself safe in the modern world can be an extremely hard and dangerous job. Having Eddie and Sarah as slightly older and more mature characters made the book relatable to a wide range of readers, with the younger members giving some sweet light relief as we see their minds being often occupied with teenage matters such as romance, as well as making the novel very original in its main characters being so very different and yet all having a great power in common.

This is the first in Indigo Trilogy, and is about indigo children, I will admit that I really didn’t know much about them, and curiosity definitely took over when it came to reading this. Indigo Incite follow twin boys, who of course have a special ability to hear each others thought and communicate, but also can hear the thoughts of those around them. Toby has been kidnapped by people who want to use the indigo’s for basically their own purposes, and this in not going to happen if Tyler and Toby can help it. The problem is, Tyler has to find Toby first, which isn’t going to be easy.
Tyler and Toby are amazing young guys. They live in a foster home with parents who were horrible, and just wanted to money they get for “caring for them”. But even with the home life they had they had, they were still hopeful, and were strong and determined, so it wasn’t hard for me to want them to succeed and get away from it all. Eddie, Liliana and Sarah, the others in their little group were different in so many ways, they all came from different backgrounds, family lives but the connection they had because of their abilities made them become friends quickly and you would think they had known each other for a long time. Needless to say, I think they all were great and I am hoping to get to know them even more as the series goes one.
Being told from a few different POV’s, giving that chance to see all the sides, and with a lot going on from start to finish, it helped immensely. My favorites POV’s of course were Tyler and Toby. The powers were fascinating, and each of the Indigo’s were a little different. Tyler and Toby were separated at the beginning but their brotherly bond was so strong, and never wavered. There were so many things about this book that I enjoyed, the ranging ages of the 5 of them, romances blossoming, not base how they looked or where they were from. Just for who they were, but I am happy that the romance didn’t take over the main point of the plot. The Indigo children were completely fascinating, and learning about them was fantastic. The suspense was spread throughout and kept me turning the pages to see what could happen to them next. Sci-fi has been a hit or miss with me lately, and I have to say that the sc-fi and fantasy aspect was done very well, and I enjoyed it. I think my only complaint about this book be the end. The awful cliffhanger, that’s not to say that I wasn’t happy with because. I just have to want to find out what happen now. Looks like the next book is Indigo Instinct, but I haven’t found a release date yet, but I will be on the lookout.
Indigo Incite is a wonderful start this series, and one that I will looking forward to continuing. It has just the right amount of suspense, great character, and such an interesting concept. I would definitely recommend picking this one up.

This is a story that provides point of view from six different people. The first two are the main characters of the book, Tyler and Toby, sixteen year old twin brothers currently living with overbearing foster parents. Then we have Eddie, a college kid currently studying physics. Liliana, a Chinese American currently staying with her only Chinese speaking grandfather while her parents and grandmother are in China. Grace, a high school girl whose grandfather has passed away and she’s in a relationship she doesn’t really believe in. and finally Sarah, a pregnant waitress whose husband is currently away at war. All these characters have way more in common than you would think and it is Tyler’s job to locate them to save them from the same fate his brother is currently enduring. All of the characters are special in their own way and someone wants them bad enough to take them.
Tyler and his brother Toby have been extremely close their whole lives. They have always been able to communicate with each other telepathically, among other special traits they have. Their bond grew closer when their mother passed away and they were sent to live with their grandmother while their father was on business. One day their father just quit coming to see them. When their grandmother passes away they are forced into foster care and eventually end up with a couple that only wants them for the government’s money and the free labor. When Tyler gets involved in a shoplifting incident he is sent off to a military school and is away from his brother for the first time. When he suddenly gets a message from his brother telling him he has been kidnapped and he needs to get away while he can and find these people.
Their adventure takes them from state to state trying to find this list of different people, all the while explaining to each one why they should leave everything and come with them. Only one of the characters really decides not to, even though she changes her mind late, all the others seem to pretty willing come right along. This all happens so easily. No phone calls from school or parents or anything. I’m really surprised that no adult asked them any questions.
There is a mild bit of suspense with this book because you are not sure if they are going to get caught or what is going to happen next but their aren’t really to many action scenes. I would have liked to see more running and close calls but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. It was interesting to learn who was after them and why.
The writing was decent although I did run into some grammar mistakes and some of the phrases used were a little repetitive. The plot is interesting and held my attention through the entire book. There is also just enough romantic tension between some of the characters to add something different to the main plot.
I recommend picking this book up if you are into reading about special abilities and secret government agencies. I look forward to checking out the next book in the trilogy.

Well, in a few words, Indigo Incite was quite the snooze fest. It has an interesting premise, yes, but quite DULL. There's nothing much going on. Nothing!
It started out interesting, of course, with all those seriously cool powers but over the course of the book, there really was nothing going on. I was really just hoping it would slowly build up and end with a good pow.
It honestly didn't. It was like Nikita in walking through very deep snow motion, and I actually like Nikita. It's certainly not as interesting as Grimm though. I'm not even surprised by the end. It's obvious and doesn't exactly take brains to figure out the most logical answer.
Then again, I could be surprised by the second book, but I'm pretty sure I won't be surprised. I probably won't be surprised on what may happen at the end of the trilogy either, but that's yet to be seen. *doesn't really plan on reading further on the series unless things spice up a notch in action*
Essentially it's a repeat of "Hi, I'm so and so. Can we talk?" in a different style. I stress SLOW. Too much talking. Less talking, more action. I have a semi-short attention span and I have other books on my review queue to read that are most likely more interesting than a bunch of dialogue. >_<
Let me backtrack a little. Indigo Incite isn't full of dialogue, but it simply felt like it's all talk and no action, if you know what I mean?
Maybe it's the random commas that just felt really out of place. I really thought that was the main reason for the slow going of things. I eventually ignored them, but still... nothing interesting going on. Zzzzz. *yawns*
What happens next? ATTENTION: SPOILER ALERT! Hellooo, the police barge in. -_-
Typical bad guy gets caught by the authorities and real life stuffy. -_-
I thought Tyler and Toby would go all Jackie Chan on Henry and things will finally have some SPICE. I adore spices. Particularly cinnamon and – does gingerbread marshmallows count? It contains ginger and they're delicious. Quite cheap right after Christmas too. I don't mean those Asian herbs that look like alien fingers, though for all I know they're the same thing. :D

“Come on, boys.” Henry waved the gun toward the door. “Let’s walk. First, I’ll take that disc off your hands.”

My Stars Review:
4.5
An interesting and funny book about Indigo children, or rather as characters and a story full of fantasy, romance and the occasional mystery to discover and adventures with a touch of science fiction. The story focuses on Tyler and Toby, these two brothers have a wonderful relationship, and somewhat funny with extrasensory abilities they have (I would like to communicate me thus with one of my brothers, it would be very funny) but when Toby is kidnapped by an covert government agency, the way to find Tyler starts, and with them an adventure of discovery and for the curious group of people who accompany him to save his brother, and discover more abilities, unable to put aside the feeling you get when you’re a teenager and discovering secrets behind the kidnapping of Toby.
The reading begins at a pace that is soft but as you progress, you will keep the edge of the book hoping to discover how succeed in reach to Toby these curious characters, Eddie, Grace, Liliana and Sarah. Although Taylor and Toby were the points of attention because began with them this way, the other characters had to say it himself in this book, and see from different points of view of each skill, so it’s situation . The writing is clear, but I had to stop to check some words or phrases, it was easy to follow the thread of reading. The book has good vibes, when from the beginning I know,than be a trilogy or will be continued with another book, I know which is to introduce a bit of what will happen, some clues that could be there for the second book or unsolved mysteries and will place us the cards on the table of the about the characters that we could identify or are you like, my favorite is Grace.
A chapter that I found interesting and I take a deep breath! Was one called México,I not knew what to expect from there, but: Me gusto demasiado!! (translation: I really liked too much), a part where something is about Grace and the song Jaihouse Rock by Elvis and speaking Spanish, it was very cute and a moment very funny to read it (I had in my head the words and tone in Spanish). Mexican Music, well, one of my favorite is Natalia Lafourcade.
I liked the book, can play a little reality while at the same time continue the fiction side, recomedable for those who want to discover something new, not necessarily with paranormal themes from beyond, and with great touches of humor.

4.5 :)
Growing up with special abilities is tricky business. It can be an amazing discovery to know you're not alone, but not when you're separated from the only family you've ever known. Especially not when your brother's kidnapped by an unknown agency who's trying to collect teens and young adults with unexplainable abilities.
Characters:
This is a multiple person point-of-view novel that follows the story line. Each voice is clear, adds to the suspense, and moves it forward. Personally, I love these types of books because we can see all sides of the situation.
Did I choose a favorite? Sure, I actually totally dug Tyler. It might be because I understood him and where he was coming from. In my teens, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time a lot. On the other hand, I liked how sure he was. Not in a snobby way, but he had an inner drive to get to his brother and took risks without fear.
Plot:
No spoilers, y'all know that's not my style. The plot starts out feeling very fantasy like and turns into a more sci-fi blend. But there aren't over technical terms or mathematically built worlds that make you have to reread a page 10 times. It's a very subtle shift, and it's a very light layer of the science fiction feel.
A SN: Loved the star children and the idea around them.
World:
The hardest part of sci-fi and fantasy built on Earth? Suspending disbelief. There wasn't much aside from the abilities that didn't jive. The author was consistent in her characters that if there were flaws, I didn't see them. That can be tricky when you've got government agencies tied in too. But it worked for me.
Another SN: Aspirin. It's used twice in the book, and administered to the twins who are 16 years old. While I think it's a generic term in context (i.e. pain reliever). Children under 17 are advised not to take aspirin, and I'm not certain teens today would know to ask for it using that name. A nurse would never administer it to a child either because the risk of death is fairly high. It can cause fatality due to Reyes Syndrome. I point this out only because teens reading the book should know the danger of aspirin just like other OTC drugs.
Overall it was an excellent read, and I want to read more of their story. I'm fascinated by the Star children and would love to see more of that side of the story. This is one to keep an eye out for.

This is the second book that I have read about the Indigo Phenomenon/Indigo children and I thought Jacinda Buchmann did a good job with the story. I found it interesting and engaging. It was very dialogue heavy and that allowed you to get to know the characters easily. I felt like I saw each of the characters different personalities through their dialogue.
The story initially centers around twins Toby and Tyler, but they are soon joined by others with special powers. I enjoy superpower books and telepathic skills have always fascinated me. I just loved listening in on the different conversations they each had, and I thought the author did a really good job varying the abilities that the characters possessed. I found it all very interesting. Aside from the cool abilities, there is a very fast paced plot. There are government agents looking for kids with powers. One of the twins (Toby) is taken and his brother has to round up a group of other Indigo Children to try and help him find Toby. Plus the government wants them for their own. I thought the storyline had plenty of twists and turns to hold my interest. It was always moving, always something happening. But it wasn't all just action and suspense.
There were more than a few cute moments thrown in throughout the story. I really enjoyed Tyler and Liliana's relationship, as well as Toby and Rebekah. I thought they each had a cute dynamic. I think I enjoyed Tyler and Liliana a little more because I just thought their telepathic conversations were too funny. I felt like they were the comic relief in the story.
I've noticed that a few people said it took them a couple of chapters to really get into the story, and I had the same experience. I found the story a little slow in the beginning, but after the first 4 chapters or so the story really got into gear and I was hooked. Indigo Incite is much more of a plot driven story than a character driven story. I myself am typically a character driven reader, but I found the plot exciting and interesting and it left me wanting to read the next book. I will warn you that there is a pretty big cliffhanger at the end of this one though.

Tyler and Toby are identical twins. They do everything together even communicate telepathically. When Tyler is in the wrong place at the wrong time and is accused of robbing, he is sent to military school. While there his brother Toby is kidnapped. Toby reaches out to Tyler and tells him he doesn't know where he is being held but he does know that its a branch of the CIA that has him. He tells him that they "recruit" people with special abilities and are looking for more. Toby gives Tyler the names of the people who are on the list and tells him that he needs to find them and keep them safe and then rescue him. Will he reach them in time and can he rescue Toby?
I went into this not having read any reviews and was pleasantly surprised. It was unique and action packed. I loved Toby and Tyler. They live in foster cars with a family that is more interested with the money then with them. They look out for each other and are best friends. When Toby is kidnapped, Tyler does all he can to find him.
I really liked all the characters. Each character brought something special to the book. I loved the fact they were all so different but all managed to be friends. The comradeship was the best part of it. There was a little romance brewing but it didn't take center stage. I also loved how the book was told from all the characters POVs. We get a more in debt feeling for them.
While it took a while to get into, the whole book was still full of suspense, mystery and twists. The subject matter was unique to me and I loved it. The Indigo Children and how they came to be was fascinating. They are kind of like modern X-Men. I cant wait to read more in this series.
I went into this not having read any reviews and was pleasantly surprised. It was unique and action packed. I loved Toby and Tyler. They live in foster cars with a family that is more interested with the money then with them. They look out for each other and are best friends. When Toby is kidnapped, Tyler does all he can to find him.
I really liked all the characters. Each character brought something special to the book. I loved the fact they were all so different but all managed to be friends. The comradeship was the best part of it. There was a little romance brewing but it didn't take center stage. I also loved how the book was told from all the characters POVs. We get a more in debt feeling for them.

Original Review can be found at: www.literarychaos.com
I recently received a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. I am not usually into the Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels. I tend to find them unappealing, but this book really impressed me.
It took a couple chapters for the novel to really pick up. But once it did I was hooked. There was something intriguing about the plot line and the characters themselves that sucked me in. I found my self-reading until the early morning just so I could read about the next character.
I loved reading about each character's powers. Some had the similar powers, some had different, but they all had something unique about them. I was really pleased to see that romance took a back seat to the action in the novel. I was also happy to see that the romance the book had wasn't perfect. There was instant attraction, unrequited love, love triangles, and teen drama.
As I have said before, I hate novels that have multiple points of view. In this book, however, I loved reading the different viewpoints. The author does a great job of making the book flow smoothly. It never felt jumpy or out of place. For a Sci-Fi/ Fantasy novel. I found this book to be rather realistic. I never felt that it was too crazy or too out there. I enjoyed the plot line with all its twists and turns.
This book was very well written and was fast paced. I really enjoyed this book; I cannot wait for the next book. I need to know what will happen next.

I enjoyed the premise of Indigo Incite: teens and young adults with special powers join forces to save a boy who was kidnapped. Sixteen year old Toby was taken because a secret branch of the government wants to study his telepathic abilities. His twin brother, Tyler, is determined to rescue Toby. Through a series of telepathic exchanges between the twins and his own psychic visions, Tyler sets out to find his brother.
It is interesting watching this quest unfold; a vision or clue leads Tyler to another gifted person who agrees to help. He enlists five strangers on his mission, each one also in danger of being kidnapped because of their various powers. This sci-fi/ paranormal adventure is a quick read, and I thought it was entertaining and original.
I enjoyed the story, the writing, the characters and especially the dialogue. The telepathic conversations were fun, and they lead to a few romances along the way. I enjoyed the psychic abilities, aura reading, telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic conversations the gang employs to find Toby. Ironically, the paranormal aspects of the book were much easier to believe than the fact that none of the characters had to check in with a loved one back home. They just leave to find Toby, and while a few had cover stories, they did not call home or have people try to reach them. This is my only complaint about the book.
I would recommend Indigo Incite to any aged reader who likes paranormal YA. The plot is original and well crafted, the language and romance are clean, and the adventure is engaging and suspenseful.

April 20, 2014Twins Tyler and Toby face separation when Tyler gets into trouble and their foster mother doesn't want him around any longer. Two years later, Toby vanishes, supposedly in a fabulous private school with prepaid tuition. Tyler's twin contacts him telepathically, and he sets out on a journey of discovery that will change both of their lives forever – if they survive.
Jacinda Buchman's novel of children called Indigo's, those with special talents, weaves a frightening tale of far too powerful entities working with the permission of the government, but outside limitations placed on the government. The twins run into others with talents similar to and different from what they have. While Tyler is free to move about as he pleases, Toby is under the control of IIA, a quasi-governmental agency determined to not only all Indigo's but also Star Children.
Buchman's tale draws the reader in from the first moment. She transports her fans to seemingly ordinary homes, but those who live in them are far from ordinary. The characters are engaging and typical teens, somewhat willing to believe in the fantastic elements of the information they're receiving, but with some skepticism. Settings such as Northern Arizona, the Northwest, and Roswell, New Mexico in addition to the Mexican desert lend credence to the adventure they set out on. The ending is a satisfying finish, with a hint of a sequel to come. I highly recommend this book for all teen readers with an interest in the paranormal.

I was honestly not quite sure about this book when I first started reading it whether I was going to like it or not. It was a little slow in the beginning and took a couple chapters to really pick up. I am glad that I stuck with it though because I turned out to love it and now am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I love fantasy novels and so this was ultimately a great fit for the genre that I love reading. Don't get me wrong, I love the real life drama and love stories and thrillers, but there is just something about fantasy that really...and I mean REALLY....draws me in. Maybe it is the inner child in me that I always wanted some sort of power.
The novel features Indigo Children with extra powers. One thing that I did like was that the book was set in present time. The author did an amazing job making it feel like these kids could be among us somewhere in our everyday lives. It made me just want to try and find one of these kids and get to know them on a personal level. There was also a little bit of romance and suspense to this novel so it made it all the more interesting.
I liked that the chapters were separated but that I did not have to go to a different page to begin reading. The way that the author did the layout made it a smooth and seamless read. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for the next book :)

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
When I first received my copy of this book I was so excited! I have received many virtual books but this was the first physical copy of a book I have received as a blogger for reviewing purposes. I began reading it as soon as possible and quickly realized this is something different from what I have read. The style took me a bit getting used to. There was so much dialogue. The plot was great I enjoyed the story although some parts of the book felt like there was missing information. Some of the transitions were also not as smooth as I would have liked them making it more difficult for me to read. I am usually an extremely fast reader but when I am not all that into the story it takes me a lot longer to finish a book. This book was one of those although I did like the characters and the plot I just wasn’t quite there. There was plenty of romance in the story but they were very predictable. The ending made me look forward to the second book so I will be looking forward for that.

This review first appeared on Books i View / I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
Indigo Incite by Jacinda Buchmann is about a group of teenagers with special abilities called Indigo Children. Reminiscent of the TV show Heroes and X-Men, Indigo Incite has something for everyone!
Told in multiple points-of-view, we get to know each character individually. Each of them have a different power and distinct personality. My favorite character has to be Liliana because I felt like I related to her more. However, the twins, Tyler and Toby, coming from a not so great foster family had the most interesting background story.
I also liked all the relationship dynamics in this book and I’m dying to know who some of the characters end up with. There is plenty of romantic drama to go around yet it doesn’t overtake the story. There are equal amounts of suspense and action with a few twists & turns.
Indigo Incite is well written with well developed characters and an interesting plot. I would definitely recommend this to YA readers! I really enjoyed reading this and will be continuing on with this series. I’m really looking forward it!
