I received this book from the author and from Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock.The Genesis Project Prophecy of the Seven is the first book in The Genesis Project series.Reighlyn lives with her mom in a peaceful town. She believed that her father was dead since she was six. But Reighlyn and her mom receive a letter from her father telling them that the power is going to go out and about a group who is after the gifted. Reighlyn finds out that she is gifted but it's more than that not only is she gifted but she is also one of the Seven. A prophecy stating that the Seven are the ones to take back the world from the evil Militia. She is the supposed leader and will enter the fight of her life. Now Reighlyn must grow up quickly and find out who she is and what she's capable of to become the leader that the people need. Along the way she'll experience love, loss, and untold compassion.This was a great story concept. I loved the different kinds of powers and the story concept. It was a good vs evil type of story. The story was quickly paced and made for a fast read. Because it was quickly paced there were some things left out that could have made the story better. The characters didn't have much depth or emotion. There were a lot of times that the dialogue or interactions were not believable and felt too agreeable. The love story was one of those things that moved too quickly and wasn't all that believable. I didn't really like the main character that much. She never really knew of her powers but right away she excelled at them, that was kind of questionable. Another thing I didn't care for is how she treated the relationships situations. That being said I still enjoyed the story but it could have been so much better. I enjoyed the different characters and wished we could have seen more about who they are. Garrett and McKenna are probably my favorite. They both faced struggle and loss grounding the story in reality. The action was good and I hope for more of it. I am curious what the next story brings.I would recommend this book to YA fans who enjoy a quick paced and easy to read paranormal good vs evil battle.I rate this 3.5 fangs.
