I don't have proof, but this feels so much like X-Men fanfic. I don't necessarily mean that in a negative way, but the whole time I just kept thinking- this sounds so much like the first X-Man movie.

Overall I really enjoyed the books prose and appreciated how unique the writing style was. 

I'm not quite sold on our main love interest. It's a little to insta-love for me. I also think the book ended in a weird spot, but I liked it enough to keep the series going.
