Fringe Fiction Unlimited discussion

Another one that is classified as science fiction but would also appeal to paranormal fans. (Paranormal, not PNR).

This book gave me a rollercoaster ride. What starts like a normal YA with school, friends and all, soon turns into something much deeper, something I would never have imagined and very different from other books I've read. While the blurb outlines the story, the real big 'boom', what's really happening, isn't explained. I don't know why Ms. Mullen decided to keep this part out of the blurb. As it is, I went into the story without knowing and while well written, I still wasn't sure if it would be my kind of read. If I had had a hint of the true story, I would have picked up the book earlier. I almost missed on a little jewel.

The characters, Renee and Blake, kept me on my toes the whole time. They made me wonder how they could ever get out of this nightmare. They also had me smile and yes, cry too. They aren't perfect: Renee is some kind of recluse who doesn't feel at ease with people, and Blake hasn't had it easy with abusive parents. Together, they learn to trust each other and it all feels so natural.
