I mainly tried this book because it was on the Kindle Free list and it's got to be one of my favorite freebies! I was expecting a blah story with predictable characters and plots and what I got was nothing but a hearty book full of wonderful characters, surprising twists and turns and several juicy secrets- some of which are still a mystery! I've downloaded the sample of Book 2 in the series already! I'm not much into series, they become too predictable or have alot of filler but I don't forsee that with this book if 2 is like the first. The book is long, but it doesn't feel drug out- kinda like the Stand, only no deadly viruses! There were several twists I didn't see coming and one or two secrets I guessed right and several I never saw coming! This is a well-written book and I think it would appeal to many age groups even though the book is about college students. It isn't very explicit, although sex is mentioned, the author doesn't go into too much detail- no worse than what is hinted at on TV at least, so I think it would be appropriate for high school and up, maybe even middle school but it's got this charm that those of us who are past our college years can still look back fondly upon that time through the lens of this book. It's a very original plot/premise in my opinion and I especially like that the explanation of Supers/Powereds is spread throughout the book and not in a few dense pages that detract from the story. Overall, this is one of maybe three or four books I'd gladly read again! Kudos to Mr. Hayes!
