I bought this book on Amazon.com for my Kindle. Here is my honest review:2.5 starsThis book needs a bit of editing, but the idea behind the story is interesting. There is a presidential election about to take place, and the turning point in the decision is when one of the candidates finds a list of special people in his country who he calls terrorists. Since he has the plan, he gets the most support. But he takes it to an unconstitutional level and strips the rights away from these special people. It's like Nazi Germany, with segregation and abductions. Yikes. Paivi is in the mix. She's a special person, as she has a paranormal ability. Into the Shadows is her story.It's told in third person, mostly through Paivi's POV. We also see the POV of Senator Stevens, the aforementioned presidential candidate. By the end of this novel, so many things are left unsaid, undone, and unexplained. I know this is a trilogy, but at least SOME answers should be available. Absolutely everything is up in the air. And I still don't quite have a grip on the abilities of these people. Why do they have them? What exactly can Christian do? Are there different abilities? Why are they marked as terrorists? OY.Anyway, I didn't really like all of the characters. Her parents were very Brady Bunch sounding at the beginning, and the feel of the book changed all the time for me. There was a depth level that this book just didn't reach. I'll still try some other stuff by this author because she is pretty awesome on Twitter and Facebook. :o)
