This book ended up being a lot more emotional than I was expecting it to be. Cali's differences combined with her isolated upbringing set her apart from everyone around her. She has so little in common with her classmates and her aunt that it's painful to watch. Throw in a skeevy adult who wants to do bad, bad things to poor Cali and life is not fun for this gifted girl.Sadly, that's not even the worst of her troubles. The man who helped make her what she is -- the man who her parents ran from years ago -- wants to use her abilities for his own. Frankly, his utter dedication to his experiments is creepy beyond belief. He doesn't see that what he's doing is wrong because he's so caught up in what *might* be accomplished is he could just go one step further.*shudder*And then there's Cal. I liked the guy. He doesn't have the best home life (although it could honestly be A LOT worse) and he has no drive to do more than skate along. Cali's reluctant appearance in his life is a blessing because she makes him take a step back and look at what's going on around him.I think the thing that got to me with this book is how alone Cali is before Cal pokes and prods her to accept his friendship. She's just waiting for the time she can leave and disappear into the wilderness again. It's more than a little heartbreaking.Romance, danger, and heartache. Things that work nicely together and make you wonder how everything is going to work out for these crazy kids.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
