Grrrr. Ok, I read this book from cover to cover and I was just ticked by the end. Everybody, but everybody treated this poor girl like crap from the word go and proceeded to all betray her bad at the end all while claiming to love her and trying to protect her. She has a brain - give her a little credit!! AND THEN, no follow up yet!!! Grrr.

It took me awhile to get into this book. I had set it aside for almost a week, not really motivated to pick it back up. There are a lot of twist and turns, and things don't make sense to the main character (or me!). It seems like everybody in her life lied to her about everything. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger - the story is not over and it's hard to see what might happen next. The writing was fine but I'm not sure I'll will get the next book in the series.

This book has lots of everything.
Love, some sci-fi, twist, villians, and adventure.
Helia is a modified human who has Electrokinetic abilities. With her power she isn't allowed to touch anyone, for fear she may seriously harm them or kill them. In her world she is more of a prisoner on Athena, she's an engineer in weapons. But when her best friend and only friend gives her a pendant to wear to help her, it actually traps her power.
Things go from bad to worse when another government of soldiers working for Star, come to take over. And they want all the modified humans. Helia thought she was the only one. Learning of others just got more confusing to her. Does she trust the best friend who has been there for her? Or the friend from long ago? Or even the new recruit who says he knows so much. One thing is for sure this is a great twist, what will she do?? Will she overcome her fear of using her powers to save those she loves? Or give up and give in? Who has the real answers to her questions?
