Deviant by Adrian McKinty

dodie's review against another edition

3.0

It took a bit to get going, but once the story locked in animal mutilations, chain gangs and a strange charter school principal, it really picked up the pace. With the location in Colorado Springs, this will be popular with CO kids (and perhaps not so popular with residents of the Springs, which is characterized as a somewhat odd place. There's also a skateboard named Sunflower, an odd boy with a camera obscura in his attic, a Tesla coil and a bit of romance to keep readers interested. The author even managed to squeeze in commentary on casinos, a growing industry here in Colorado. A spooky premise, with a scary (to think about the sequel... ) ending.
