A review by ub1980
Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson

3.0

Alison is a teenage girl who admits to killing her classmate and ends up in a mental ward. She is ranting about seeing her disintegrate before her very eyes. 

Alison can see sounds, taste words. Her conditions has worried her mother since a young age and Alison has learned to keep that side of herself hidden. Then one day a classmate she can't help but notice starts causing her senses to go haywire. 

The author takes time to unfold this tale of mystery. The main character suffers from mental illness, or so we think. Her associates in the mental ward have their own issues and when she talks to Dr. Minta or Faraday it seems that perhaps she is unwell too. 

As we get to know Alison we see that her condition is special. She has an ability that is unique. The story does take a twist towards the. End that explains the dramatic exchange between Tori, the classmate that disintegrated, and Alison. This is also a bit of a romance which wad nice since  I am a fan of romance novels. The main point of interest I would have to say was seeing Alison discover her ability. 

This was my first time reading RJ Anderson. I enjoy reading a book that keeps you guessing. Also that has characters that support the story. I would recommend this book to people that like mystery mixed with with a dash of romance and an unique storyline. It definitely could continue on as a series.
