Shadow Hand by Sacchi Green
2.0
There may be spoilers here ... I'm not sure so read with a tiny bit of caution just in case.
Usually I like my key characters to develop their relationship throughout the novel. In this case, it's already there. All done, all sorted and no real development of their relationship at all. That's fine if the story delivers an epic journey or an amazing race and so on. For me, this didn't quite hit the mark.
PROS:
I enjoyed the premise of 'acquiring' a special talent and the ensuing super hero life. Learning to use it, how, where and what to use it for.
CONS:
The story and plot jumped around a lot and tried to be too many things. As a result it suffered from being not enough of anything.
