They say never judge a book by its cover, but we all do it. Having said that, the cover of Supernatural Freak, depicting a beautiful blue tinted face set off by black birds and a black background, is well done and, consequently, matches the quality of the content.I received the book on my Kindle.  I don't know who the cover artist is, but kudos to him or her.Robyn Wise, our young British protagonist, is an exciting paranormal expert. She's funny and energetic, and she's someone I'd love to meet.The book is told in first person, and therefore, Robyn is talking to us. Not every author handles first person well, which is why I prefer books written in the third person. However, Supernatural Freak was an exception to that given the skill author Louisa Klein displays in telling the story."I'm so tired I barely have the strength to turn my key in the lock. I carefully step in, doing my best to keep the noise to a minimum to avoid waking Martino so he won't make a fuss and . . . "Oh, boy! Yes, yes, I'm home, yes, good dog, good dog . . ." I haven't even stepped inside before that ball of scruffy, but at the same time fluffy, vanilla colored hair is jumping on me, licking my face with a very long and extremely pink tongue."I love that part.There's plenty of dialogue in the book, as well, which is another skill Klein has perfected. Proper use of dialogue helps to move a book along, and it got me wanting to keep turning the pages, or flicking the screen on my Kindle, to dive more into the plot.My only complaint with the book is the large blocks of text, which may have more to do with the formatting than anything else.This book is book one of a series. Although you can say this is more of a young-adult book, I never felt like I was reading something meant for people younger than me. Grown women, and men, would enjoy this book too. Read Supernatural Freak and then be on the look-out for book two.
