Absolutely amazing! A great philosophical read :)<3 Consider this a recommendation to everyone! :)
The gay community in Finland is disrupted by the presence of a Troll (of the Finnish mythological variety) with strange powers of the human libido. Hey, with a plot like that how could this book miss? The GLBT politics can get a little heavy at times, but otherwise the book is a fun read.
Perdido Beach, California was a small town famous only for their nuclear reactor and the near melt down fifteen years ago. Now, though, it seems as though they're about to be put on the map for good. If there is still a map to be put on. The morning started out just like any other morning. The kids went to school, the adults went to work. One moment, everything was fine, then, in the blink of an eye, they were gone. Every single person 15 or older just seemed to blink outo f existance, leaving the kids alone to fend for themselves in the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone). Further inspection reveals an almost see through barrier that hurts to touch. And, to make matters worse, some of the kids are developing powers. A girl who can shoot fire. A kid that can teleport at a thought. And Sam, the kid who once saved a bus full of kids when the driver had a heart attack, he can shoot what appears to be laser beams from his hands. When Bullies take over the FAYZ, though Sam is forced to fight for the freedom of himself and all the other kids. But is there any way to fight the darkness that dwells in a dark cave? When I read the back Grant's Gone, I thought it sounded fantastic. I couldn't wait to read it. Unfortunately the book fell rather flat, in my opinion. While the plot is good and there are decent characters, Gone just couldn't seem to hold my attention. Generally I find that I can't put down a book because I really want to know what happens next. With Gone, however, I didn't feel that at all. Even when I was reading it I often found my attention wandering. As for the characters...I liked Sam and Astrid well enough. I was certainly rooting for them to win...it was Quinn that I had a real problem with. At first I thought I would love him, because he seemed like that quirky rather weird kid that I generally like in books. Instead I often found myself absolutly furious at him, and at one point he did something that I honestly can't forgive him for. I get the feeling that you were almost supposed to feel that way, but also that Grant wanted you to forgive him at some point...but I can't. It doesn't matter what he does to try and redeem himself, I just can't forgive him... While I don't regret reading the book, I don't feel at all inclined to read anymore in the series.
So, just like I liked Dark Magic with Gregori and Savannah, I like this one. I love the fact that the woman is not having panic attacks because of the changes she's going through. She's already Carpathian, she knows what's happening and she's a force to reckon with on her own. The relationship between Francesca and Gabriel is touching, he's so empty, dealing with the struggles of his brother (he definitely should have known p.s.) but the fact that she just let him be who he was destined to be is just so, idk. She probably should have said something to him or found him earlier but who knows. It's a bit coincidental that he finds her so soon after rising after being buried for centuries, but hey, it's a book right? Either way, I think this was definitely one of the better ones just because the female isn't so helpless.
