Saving Honor

Saving Honor #1

by Melissa Wall, Melissa C. Water

Saving Honor is the first book in its series, followed by "Death and I."
Honor was just a regular teenager until everything changed in a few swift moments of truth. Honor discovers that she has abilities beyond what she could have imagined; abilities that she never thought could have existed outside of her little brother's comic books.
What is also discovered are tales of her dark origins; origins deep and unlike most others.
Although she tries to deny her strange new life, she soon realizes that she must face what she has become.
Will she be able to keep her unique identity a secret from those around her, including those she loves the most? Is Honor a hero in the making or will she turn her back on the responsibility she never asked to carry?
An eccentrically funny book that is equally dramatic.

[Rosie · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is rare to come across a book written in the first-person narrative which actually works. ‘Saving Honor’ has done just that, enabling the reader to hear and see what Honor sees, as well as having deep insight into her thoughts and feelings. ‘Saving Honor’ is very well written and the characters are easy to relate to, even with a story so bizarre. Each page brings a new layer in the mystery of Honor’s awakening gifts. Melissa C. Water has shown herself to be a linguistic mastermind when combining the realistic with the supernatural. This book would be suitable for those who love a good mystery, some drama, a few laughs and who can empathize with the underdog in a world where strange things can happen.

Honor is a typical teen until she discovers that she has abilities, she never knew she had. But what will she choose to do with them. Honor is your typical teen, a bit of a loner and not very popular, but she seems quite tough and smart. I think this book would appeal to young adults, it was a good read.

Honor is a good name for a character. I liked this book, as well. I think my niece would enjoy it too. Honor finds out she has some abilities and what she chooses to do with them is part of the book. This book made me think of Supergirl and Superman a little. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

I really like this book.
It's a scifi about a girl named Honor(hence the title).
It has a good balence of action and character development, it also has some funny parts which I like.
I will definitely read the sequel!
