Review: Bladerunner meets Underworld?
Rating: 4 out of 5

Don't let the UFO on the cover fool you, this book is not what you're expecting.  Ava - the sister in a set of triplets, along with two brothers - goes on a trip to visit her brother, Ian, and his fiancee.  The second that Ava meets Ian, though, she can immediately tell that something is wrong.  As triplets, Ava, Ian and Elias share an empathic link with each other - with Ava and Ian's link being especially strong, since Elias is living in Japan -- and it doesn't take Ava long before she realizes that the person who's just hugged her is absolutely *not* her brother.  The question is, though, who is this guy and, moreover - what happened to her brother Ian?  An even more pressing question is - why is a giant lizard creature trying to kill her and who is the mysterious stranger who comes to her aid?  What does he want from her?Ironically, once everything blows up, Ava decides she has to get back to a place called Sanity, Illinois (hehe) in order to inform her family about what's happened to her brother. The only problem is, there's an agency whose entire job it is to make sure that information about what she's seen doesn't get out.  These people are tasked with keeping the supernatural world and the normal world separate, no matter what it takes, and Ava and her brother unfortunately were caught in the crossfire.This book is a great read -- very fast-paced and fun.  The writing really does draw you in and has you turning page after page, eager to see what's coming next.  With all the books focusing on vampires and werewolves, it's nice to see other supernatural creatures get their day in the sun.
