The paranormals are on the run from ParaTroopers and the
government. Caitlyn and her mom are constantly on the move. They are the only
ones left in their family after Caitlyn's dad was killed when he spoke out for
paranormal rights. Her brother was kidnapped by a woman while his dad was being
killed. Her mom has since lost her paranormal powers. Caitlyn has now enrolled
in high school, and she wants to try to live undetected in this city. She
begins to become attached to Alex, a para-pro but a normal. While at school,
she finds her brother, Daniel, but he is different.. and working for the
government. Caitlyn had to find out who she can trust and fight for para rights
without being captured and tortured by the government.
I found that this book brought out a strong message about segregation.
It tells the story of someone who is judged by something that they cannot
control. It shows that you have to fight for causes that are judged unfairly. I
feel that this book would bring strength to anyone that feels like an outcast
or judged against. This book also brings out the fantasy of supernatural
powers. It is a powerful book, fun and is a joy to read.
