I have to say the imagery, the descriptions and the suspense are still reverberating from my head to my heart.  Once I started this story about a girl with a purple mohawk, I couldn't stop. Great dialogue pulled me in and pretty soon, I was following her memories right out into the West Texan countryside. Obviously, I wanted to know what would happen, where she was going and why. Out I went into the cover of darkness where a mystery awaits the reader and satisfyingly sets into motion the beginning of what is sure to be the first book in a series.The author is a cool guy who nailed this piece written from a young girl's point of view. Slightly surprised at this twist, he instantly drew my attention and the creative writing took over making me smile. "...mental scrapbook," and "nerd landfill," were two of my favorites along with this sentence. "Alone snuck up on you like stubble growing on your legs in the night." Isn't that great? Fabulous writing and interesting characters make this a story that works in various genres aimed at anyone looking for a vein throbbing read. If I were handing out stars, I'd have to say this story gets five but deserves fifty.
