Knight in Paper Armor by Nicholas Conley

5.0

Roseanna has spent her life studying the strange powers that some children can possess. Those in her field scoff at her and tell her she's ridiculous for believing such a thing. Enter Mr. Thorne. Not only does he believe in such abilities, but he has an entire company dedicated to the cause. He hires with Roseanna with one mission in mind: round up a child who has just the powers they are looking for.

This story was such an adventure that I'm not sure where to begin.

From the very beginning, we're transported into this futuristic world that blends reality with this almost sci-fi/paranormal vibe that I found to be quite unique. Roseanna is easy to relate to, but I have to say that Billy was the one who stole my heart. After everything that happened to him, he didn't lose faith in others. It was inspiring to see such a young character portray so much strength. Really though, all the characters are very strongly developed. Even the villains, and I'm a sucker for a well-crafted bad guy.

This book mashes up not only sci-fi and the paranormal quite well, but there's plenty of mystery and suspense crammed in this story as well. All in all, this is a powerful, immsersive story that'll you'll remember long after you finish reading.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
