J.L. Murray is one of my favorite indie authors--this book is a departure from her Niki Slobodian series, but the author has such a strong voice that it's still instantly recognizable as one of her books.  The story introduces us to Eleni, a girl with mysterious powers and an even more mysterious past.  As always, the character development is stellar,  and even the bad guys have almost-pure motivations.  (This, however, does not make them any less bad!) The interactions of the flawed yet likable people who populate this quasi-post-apocalyptic world are memorable, and the storyline left me wanting more.  Warning--if you buy this book, you may find yourself anxiously awaiting for the sequel! I know I am.
