If you were a fan of Maximum Ride growing up then this book is perfect for you! Riva and her boys have lived as supernatural experiments their entire lives. When they seize an opportunity to escape as teenagers, it ends with one dead and Riva separated from the group. Four years later, after a new power emerges, Riva escapes again desperate to be reunited with Jacob, Zian, Dominic and Andreas. Only to discover they blame her for their friend’s death. Left without a choice, they drag her along to discover what made them the way they are.
I was hooked right away. I love a friends turned enemies trope. It creates amazing tension where the fmc is forced to go along with the group because she wants nothing more to prove that she isn’t the monster they think she is. You never had to guess at the characters motivations which creates a very compelling cast of characters and plot to move the story along. As a fan of Maximum Ride, I love a experimented on group of teenagers turned adults trying to discover what their true propose is. There is a tiny bit of spice with the promise of more. And between the slight cliffhanger and my interest in their creation story in general I will be reading the next book.
