This was a fast paced book and thriller to the end. Action packed from the first page. You really feel sorry for Alex and his friends and question the justice system. The writing made you flinch with every new creature that was described in this book. This is an adrenaline rush like I have never had from a YA book. With a cliff hanger ending that made me run to buy the next book in the series.
Awesome post! I really like it, I inspired me more to revisit your site more often.
