Sci-Fi fantasy with supernatural abilities that's kind of my book to read since I am a fan of sci-fi thanks for the review "Opaque" by Calix Leigh-Reign. Will add it to my book shelves.

I think I would enjoy Adam having real teenager thoughts more than the mutation aspect of the book. I'm not into sci-fi, but I do love a good YA.

This YA sci-Fi fantasy novel sounds intriguing. The author has created a mesmerizing tale with mutated humans, called descendants, which have biokenretic abilities. I will check out this book. Great review!

Opaque by Calix Leigh-Rein sounds like an awesome young adultsci-fi fantasy novell. I liked the premise of this book, but since I'm not a fan of the genre, I'll pass on this one. Thanks for this great review. You really offered an insight into what the book is all about.

A YA sci-fi fantasy novel which is a page-turner and could be enjoyed even by older readers seems interesting to me.This story also contains the concept of mutation. Thank you for the review!

This book seems to be the unique YA science-fiction novel that I have been looking for! If the plot is interesting enough, I will be able to easily overlook any spelling errors and enjoy the story. Adam also seems to be a sympathetic main character.

I am not that much into superhero stories, but this sounds fascinating. I am also curious about the Russian ancestry and the enemy, Iksha. I can’t wait to find out how the story unfolds for the two, Adam and Carly.

Thank you for the lovely review!
The frightening thing about a mutation, telekinesis, people with special abilities is if they're actually a curse or sick people who needs to be healed.? when they can't be in control of their powers..
it is important to have a gift, and very, very important to be in good control of what you have.
when you've mastered your gifting, you'll be able to control your powers within your human form and also help other humans to be immune to your mutation. congrats on this episode.

Thank you so much for writing this review! I have yet to read this book, but I am certainly interested in checking it out. Strong characterization is the most important factor to keeping a reader invested in the story and I appreciate the historical aspect you mentioned as well. 100% looking forward to checking it out
