I was given copy of this book in return for a review.When I opened myself up for people to request reviews from me I was a little worried I'd get spammed with all sorts of not so well done self published indie books. occasionally I do find myself reading a not so great one but this was one of those books that makes being a reviewer a delight. I totally loved this book from the first word to the last.The main characters were delightful and I loved the nature of the twins. They felt like they matched their ages well. Sometimes with YA written by adults the kids don't always feel like kids but they really did here. Mature kids but they still came out with the odd teenage phrase that just let you know they were still kids even if they were slightly more sensible than normal kids.The super power concept is not a new one but still felt fresh while reading this. Some of it was a little predictable but only because it fit within the genre, but it didn't feel like it was trying to be something it wasn't and in this case having what I expected was a good thing.I also have to admit that I liked reading a book that had settings and places mentioned that I've been to. So many books are published from US writers and they are set in a country I've only spent a short amount of time in so it was refreshing to know what it might have been like when they arrived at the farm in Suffolk, seeing as I grew up right by a farm in Suffolk.I'm also very impressed with all the extras that have been created around the book and the main characters. These sorts of details show the passion of the writer for their story and I love getting to have these extras that aren't included in the main book because they aren't completely necessary but are there for those of us who want a bit more. Well I definitely want more!
