4.5

I took half a star because I have a small problem with how conveniently one specific part of this book worked out. 

Otherwise a very quick and thrilling and sometimes gory ride! Eli and Victor are best friends who begin to study the possible existence of EO’s (ExtraOrdinaries, people with special abilities after suffering a near death experience) in their last year of university. When they decide to become their own test subjects the line between good and evil and god and man becomes harder to see. In this book you’ll find that it’s easier to root for the lesser of two evils. Can’t wait to see where book two takes us.
