Yay!! THE ATHENA EFFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ERMAGHERD THE FEELS I JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT!!!!

Eh-hem....my apologies....I just have a special connection with this particular book......

Anyways, ignore me; please, commence your reading of this fantastic YA indie novel! Please please, read away!:D

This looks good, I just got a copy!

Wow, i just started reading this, and i love it.

I finished the book, and I love it! Who else is reading?

I'm thinking about picking this one up.

I read it. It was okay but I wouldn't go farther than that. I liked Caledonia's story but I wasn't a fan of Calvin's character.

I just started the book today. So far it's just ok for me.

I just finished reading the book this morning.

Just wanted to drop in and thank everyone who signed on to read my book:

And thank YOU Hannah for posting this :)

I've been wanting to read some indie books so it was nice to get the suggestion to read this one. Can't wait for the next.

Thanks so much :) I love readers willing to give indies a chance.

Another group is reading this book as well, so I'm gonna say here what I said there! LOL

I really enjoyed this book. I think the main character, Cali, was particularly well-drawn and multi-dimensional. The author did an outstanding job there.

My favorite part of this story was when Cali was telling Cal how she killed a mountain lion with a jack knife. Shocked, Cal asked her what her parents did about it. Cali's response was hysterical: "They got me a bigger knife." What made it so funny is Cali has no idea how completely insane and out-of-the-park that concept is. She's so unassuming, she thinks all girls would have done the same thing. She didn't think twice about it. Loved it!

I should add, I think I would have preferred a little more focus on the supernatural aspect of the story and a little less on the 2 characters coming together...which is a good 75% of the story. The story really got exciting when the evil mastermind started to get involved, but by that time the story was almost over, and, for me, there wasn't enough time spent on building up a suspenseful ending. It just kind of happened quickly with a lot of unresolved issues in the end...which made the ending feel a little flat. But I guess more to come in the next book.... ?
