Review

"The authors boldly show their love of comic-book superheroes in this charged and often hilarious narrative. The story segments alternate between Tanner's and Ryland's perspectives, which lets the teens entertainingly rib each other, as when Ryland says her brother "did a half decent job setting up our predicament," but "I am definitely the right person to tell the interesting part of the story." Fans of Superman (and Supergirl) will enjoy the protagonists' alien origins, andX-Menreaders should appreciate the youths-against-the-world theme. The story flows organically, putting intriguing helpers and haters in the kids' path ... the regularly occurring twists and explosive finale will keep readers riveted. Finally, the book brilliantly teases a possible future tale about another Shifter-ruled alien world.

An electrifying start to a YA series that feels like it can go anywhere in the galaxy." ~*Kirkus Reviewson Shifters*

"wow. that about sums this book up! just wow. there's everything from action, adventure, love, growing up, life, and everything in between." ~Indy (Goodreads)

"I have to start off by saying I did enjoy this book and I absolutely connected with most of characters because there's a rawness in them as they fight for what's right. It is fast paced and reads like a movie." ~Naveen (Goodreads)

"I really like how he switches the P.O.V and by the time I finished it, I immediately wanted to pick up the 2nd book so I could find out what happens next!" ~Misty (Goodreads)
