Review: Debut novel written when author was only 16!!!!
Rating: 3 out of 5

Don't be put off from reading this book based on the 3 star rating.  I gave it 3 stars because I found the novel to move extremely slowly. The author, Kate Cowan, was only sixteen when she wrote her debut novel.  That alone is an astounding feat.  What sixteen year old is writing novels in her spare time?  I expect her style to improve and I think that Book 2 in this series will be very exciting. I do plan to continue this series.As I said the novel moves slowly.  The author is very detailed in describing Eden and Will's time locked in the attic of her parents’ home.  Once captured by the Catchers and transported to the island, I felt like I had fallen down a rabbit home.  I truly had a Mad Hatter moment.  Three quarters of the way into the book I discovered the AHA moment I had been waiting for.  However, if it is answers that you seek you won’t find them here.  Book 2 in this series should be very exciting and hopefully forth coming.
