Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton

5.0

So I really loved this book! I absolutely loved the idea of New 2. New 2 was created after New Orleans was completely wiped away from hurricane Katrina. Rumors say that everyone who lives there today has supernatural powers of some sort. Vampire, witches, seers, shape shifters, even Gods. It's the story of 17-year-old, foster child Ari. While searching for her birth mother Ari stumbles upon her family's curse: At the age of 21 every girl from Ari's family goes insane, and by that time the girl will have already had a child (now, this isn't like the exact way they write curse, but you get the gist.) Ari learns her mother had also succumbed to the curse years before, so now her only hope is to travel into New 2, her birth place, and find out who her father is. Ari ends up getting some help from a group of 6 gifted children. Sebastian, the oldest of the group with mind persuasion abilities as well as being an empath, is actually also a child of one of the 9 families that bought and control New 2, the Novum. He also is the one to help Ari the most and then 2 of them start making out like 3 chapters in. Any way, the group also consisted of Crank (3rd oldest), the non gifted one who can fix anything, Henri of unknown powers (2nd oldest), Dub, the one with the gift of fire, and violet. She's like a vampire who doesn't drink blood, but her fangs are awesome. I don't know what her power is. Back to the story: So Ari ends up find out more about the curse, but not how to break it, and she also finds out who her father is AND gets to meet him (not in that order though). So, i will leave you with that vague ending of the summary, because I don't want to spoil some very cool and twisted surprises.

Read it!!! :)
