His third novel. Our book group read this too.
A married couple have had 10 years together and this was more of convenience than love. When the husband comes off his ‘medication’ things begin to happen. The passion between them sparkles, but wait, he becomes moody and unpredictable.
The first half I found to slow, the second unsatisfying. Not good enough for a suspense nor a romantic novel.
If I read more by him (and enjoyed the other two very much) it would have to be some excellent reviews to tempt me.

Score 4.5/10

Rather interestingly this doesn’t have the cosy ending one gets with most teenage novels. In fact it leaves you hanging for the next in the series.
A young girl discovers special powers and finds she is the result of an experiment of a genetic trial trying to create the perfect human.
Enter the mad scientist… her father, but is he a good guy or a baddy?
The next book will be out soon, will I read it?
