Eureka has lost her mother in a car accident that they were both in, but
she was saved from the wreck by Anders, a boy that has been watching her since
she was born. Although Eureka doesn’t
know Anders, she feels drawn to him the first time they meet. Eureka has other problems lately though
because her childhood best friend Brooks is acting weird and trying to hurt her
feelings. As Eureka struggles with her
feelings about her lost mother, her changing relationship with Brooks and
uncovering the purpose behind the objects her mother left for Eureka when she died,
she also has to figure out if she believes in the danger Anders is trying to protect her from.
This is an action packed story
with a strong main character. I like the
idea behind the series and even though sometimes I got frustrated with Eureka’s
inability to grasp what was so glaringly obvious to the reader, it was still a
fun read. The ending does not have a satisfying
conclusion, and the only thing that will make this first book worth reading is
a good second book. The violence is a
gross murder scene described and little kids were kidnapped and tied to a
swing-set with the swing seats in their mouths as gags, which I found
upsetting.
