Rating: 5 out of 5

The story starts out innocently enough, with a bunch adolescents navigating the landscape of a bus ride with all the inner workings of the teen aged social scene, including bullies, and their targets. You begin to think there is more to the story when you find out there is a young Parcour artist following the bus from roof top to roof top. Just as you are starting to wonder what all this is about, the whole thing blows up. Literally, the bus blows up. It is the events after this explosion that makes up the bulk of the story.I don't want to spoil the story for other readers, but the author takes you on a high speed trip through the land of "what just happened?". The intrigue level and the side swapping of this book are at times are a bit confusing, yet the author keeps you with him and navigates to the end where it all makes sense. There are a lot of questions throughout the book that are eventually answered,the not knowing is what keeps you interested in the story. Mulder and Scully would have been quite happy to add this story to one of there X-Files.The story is fast paced and well written. There are family situations in it that make you hate some of the characters. (At least it was that way for me, there was one old crow, I just wanted to pitch off a roof.) It also includes situations where you are proud to know these people. The characters are well developed. The book ends with a hitch that will allow for a sequel. Something tells me we will be seeing more of the Parcour Princess in future editions.On a side note, if you have time, you must visit the author's 24/7 news website. It is a real adventure. I enjoyed the way the website and the book connected.All in all, this is a great read, lots of twists and turns, things you don't expect, but pretty easily followed to the end. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.
