It's become quite obvious to me that Jus learned how to write from the school of "WOW! Now THAT'S what I call an adventure!" where she majored in kick ass action scenes. And kisses.In this installment of the Denazen series, we get to learn about a character who has intrigued me from the first page he was introduced in TOUCH. Brandt Cross, the tough, snarky skateboarder with a sensitive side. I've never forgotten his loyalty to Dez and I was so very happy to see just what the heck he's been doing. Which makes way for an important point to be made.FACELESS is a must read for fans of the Denazen series. This novella is not a "fluff" story. It moves the story line of TOUCH forward (*whimpers*) and will make you long for TREMBLE coming out in May.I was anxious to see how Jus's writing would translate from Dez's POV to Brandt's. (If you've seen my review for TOUCH and TOXIC, you'll know I'm a HUGE fan of Dez.) Being in Dez's head is as exciting as it is to see the salted nut roll vendor at the State Fair. It's something I look forward to every year and devour quickly when I get my hands on it. And then I go back for seconds. Excepting for a few pieces of dialogue that felt less genuine than I prefer, Jus nailed it. Which is not surprising. Jus "gets" the inner workings of a teen. You'd almost think she was one once. ;)RANDOMNESS:  There is a scene in FACELESS that had me barking with laughter and still makes me smile when remembering it. There is a boy, a girl, a closet and some accidental touching involved. You'll laugh. Out loud.Go read this book now so that you can see just what that pesky Marshal is up to now. (HINT: It's no good.)
