Whoa! Talk about surprises, people!I won this book in a giveaway, so I was super stoked to read it...but by the time I'd read the first five pages or so...I was too excited to even function properly.There's still a lot that I don't understand, but I like it that way because I can continue to figure things out in pieces as the series continues! Hehe... The concept of human evolution and the ability to use more than only 1/8 of the brain was pretty cool, too! Kind of making them like super heroes, but in a totally different context.As a main character, Jade wasn't half bad. She was tenacious and curious, not afraid to stand up for herself. But sometimes she annoyed me with how much she cried. Granted, the things she experienced would've had me bawling my eyes out, so I can't judge.And Aiden....OMG!!! Ahhhhh *squeal* I am in love with that boy! Seriously, he just sounds like such a sweetheart with a rockin' set of abs and everything. Plus he can read minds and do all kinds of cool stuff! His character was enjoyable to follow, since his emotions usually center on his feelings for Jade. His protectiveness, his sense of humor...all of it plays off of Jade in a way that makes them a cute couple.The only problem I had was the issue of how Jade and Chelsea reacted to the things that happened to them. There was a bit of discontinuity there. Like one minute Jade would be bawling, then the next she'd be totally okay. A little weird...Loved the mystery of the book, too. A lot of stuff was just SO unexpected that I literally made a :O face at my Kindle. Crazy suspense and a light writing style that was easy to follow.I can tell you one thing, Goodreads people! I am DEFINITELY reading the next one! ;)
