Review: Interesting parallel dimensions!

I have been fascinated with the idea of parallel dimensions for a long time. Sometimes it's like stepping through a curtain and into another world; sometimes it's jumping through a time portal; sometimes it's catching glimpses of the others through the shadows. "Identified" takes it a step further with a different race of people including the hybrids of unions between this race of beings and humans. These hybrids are known as shifters and because of their unique heritage of half-onyx and half-human, they can move between the two worlds. Maya Price is a shifter, although she doesn't know it until the night of the high school graduation party when the hunters come to find her.The story is rich, the characters interesting, the plot fascinating. The flow of action is broken by excerpts from interrogations, journal entries, deep thoughts from the future from different characters. This gives added depth to the story, helping you to understand a little bit more about each character, a little bit more about the story line. While the pace isn't as fast as other books, it certainly is a compelling read. I could do with more explanations on the rebellion and Leonas and even Maya's birth mother's story, as we only get a glimpse of that.I read this book on my kindle (ecopy for book tour/review purposes) and my heart started to drop when I realized I was at 90% and there wasn't a conclusion yet. Not even the makings of one! And then at 94% I wanted to cry as the book ended. I read on to see what I could expect in the next book and now I patiently wait to hear more of when it is due and when it is coming out!
