I received a free copy, through LoP, in exchange for a review.And then it starts, again. The story picks back up, with Olivia and her unusual band of people. They are not necessarily friends, but they have one thing in common, PSS. After running, from the CAMFers, they are onto their next goal; to save and convince Samantha James the danger she is in and to come with them. But, this is not as easy as it seems and Marcus is not being exactly truthful about everything, making it harder on Olivia to make heads or tails of things. Samantha's father is part of The Hold, another type of faction, like the CAMFers, but it's more based in the religion of PSS. With this interesting turn of events, all she knows is that they have to try to convince Samantha to come away with them, learn more about her own PSS power and why it does what it does and to help the rest of the group, without getting caught. It should be easy enough, right?“It's a long story. A long complicated story, but the whole thing kind of started with my grandparents. They were both full-blooded Tenino People; that's a Native American tribe back in Oregon. They were shamans – Spirit-walkers, they called themselves. And they both came to this belief that humanity would evolve into pure spirit beings, that we would lose out husks of flesh and become creatures of light and energy, not in the next world, but in this one. Their teachings began to spread, mostly within the Tenino and a few other tribes, but that was way before I was born when my mom was a kid. I don't think they really meant to start a religion. They were just listening to the spirits of their ancestors. But when babies started being born with PSS, things got out of hand.”I was so excited when I got this and it did not disappoint! The characters are becoming more evolved and with that, you really understand the sense of urgency within this story. There were a few twists that I was not expecting at all, making it that much more if an interesting read. Of course, I cannot wait for the next installment! Great job again!
