I appreciate how this sci-fi romance is youthful with an adult theme. The cover is also epic. Congratulations on book of the day!

"Opaque" by Calix Leigh-Reign. An interesting book talks about how romantic Adam and Carly's love at sight. An interesting romantic novel. And Adam being the main character. Congrats on the BOTD.

The wide range of vocabulary in this review was very impressive. Not only just the vocabulary, but I was also in awe of how descriptive it was, as if I can just scrape the surface of the book. I would definitely love to check this book out!

Thanks for the review! I agree; a few spelling mistakes, while unfortunate, cannot really take away the enjoyment of a well put-together story. I hope to find time to read this soon!

Biokenretic abilities, Russian ancestry and some romance. This seems like an intriguing YA fiction. I am definitely intrigued by Adam and Carly, s dynamic. Congratulations on the BOTD.

For the right audience, this book sounds like it is an absolute gem. For fans of the YA genre that are interested in mutated humans with a bit of romance thrown in, this definitely sounds intriguing.

The story was rather boring at the start with too many outlandish injection of English lexicology that almost lost the entertainment. Miss Terry's entry into the scene of the story, unleashed the fast pace that would keep the reader glued till the end.Good review.

At the onset of the book I didn't quite enjoy the unnecessarily detailed description of of every thought creasing through young Adam's sick mind. Then came miss Terry and the story changed. I would want to know how miss Carly was able to influence this serial-killer-in-the-making teenager into the better person he later became. The review was very apt.

The novel is a great one but there's something the writer should have done, the writer should have elaborated more on the biokenretic abilities which are as a result of mutations. This could have given the reader a clearer view of the contents he is glued to especially those who are not the sci-fi or superhero type in reading novels. Everything else was superb and I'll like to rate the novel a 3 of 4 stars

The story of a Russian family who has biokenretic powers. This story provides a new fantasy insight for me. The focus of the story is on Adam and his new friend Carly, who is still a teenager. The story makes me curious, I want to read it.
