Sixteen year old Kade has alway been different. Unknowingly, there are magic, and dangers in the world he has never known of. All he knows of is his tiny villiage and his ability to feel the emotions of others. After he is saved by a mysterious man from a creature known as a thangoa, Kade is thrust into a world of Soul Questers--elves who have the ability to not only feel emotions, but also hear thoughts. Kade can do what they can, but he is not one of them. He must train to use his powers in secret. If he is discovered by the elven goverment, he could be killed. That is, if his powers don't kill him first. And that isn't the only problem. Kade's adopted father, Axel, has apperantly hidden more than Soul Questers from Kade, and now those secrets could also be dangerous enough to get Kade killed. If he's going to survive, Kade himself might have to learn to keep a few secrets, and they're not just about him...

I loved it!!! Definitely grabbed my attention within the first pages. I'm very interested in where the story will go. The message is great and very timely. I think y'all would like it too!
Overall this was a cool, enjoyable read. I loved the plot and premise, and found myself saying "typical boy" in relation to the main character, Kade.
Four stars because there were areas that were confusing and seemed underdeveloped, and I was expecting a bit different of the style of storytelling. But I found it worth the read.
