3.5 stars 
 It took me a while to get invested in the main characters. It was a hard book to get into and get past the first 40 or so pages but once I got through it, I couldn't put the book down. I found the same problem with the Kate Daniel series. I believe the authors had a hard time building and introducing us to the new world in a reasonable pace in a way not to overwhelm us or bore us, a problem they seem were able to fix in their new series, Hidden Legacy. However I am really looking foward to the next book.
