Initial Impressions 6/19/12: Wow, this was super intense and very exciting! My mind was constantly racing trying to determine good from evil, wrong from right, and if maybe it's not so black and white between the two. I really enjoyed Mia's character, but mostly her relationship with Jeremy - She has to decide if she can trust him, figure out which side she should be on, and decide for herself if the predicted end of the world is even real. All the while, she struggles to keep her family together and save as LA is in shambles from the eerily predicted earthquake. I had a lot of fun reading this and I'm anxious to read more from Jennifer Bosworth! 
 Full review originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: Wow. Okay. Let's rewind back to the beginning here. I just finished the book and immediately went to start my review because I literally raced through once I got to the breaking point of the book. I needed to know what was happening. What was Mia going to choose? Should she trust Jeremy? Was Jeremy on the side of good or evil? Were the Seekers even good? I mean, I was kind of second guessing in my head the whole time, but I guess that's what made it so thrilling! 
 I think what I liked most is that we're getting the whole thing through Mia and through her eyes only. We don't get to know the ins and outs of Prophet's cult, who the Seekers really are, what Jeremy's agenda is, what Katrina's secrets are, and where Parker flits off to. I really was left questioning everything and constantly doing so. It just made me want the reveal that much more! 
 I loooved Jeremy. The whole description about the Clark Kent glasses had me picturing an actual Clark Kent (my mind went to Brandon Routh from Superman Returns, which is a totally perfect image for this kid in my head! Yes, please! I'd be on his side). At first I was like, "Well spit it out already, kid! Are you for the good guys or bad guys?" BUT of course it all gets explained in due time and we find out the reasons why he acts the way he does and (not really a spoiler since it's in the beginning of the book alert) why he was by Mia's bed with a knife ready to kill her. Anyhoo... Loved their little lighting/heat connection putting a whole new spin on the heat between two people type phrase! 
 It was a very interesting use of powers throughout the whole book. At first I thought it was an over-abundance of powers since so many people in the book seem to have them, but geez, I really don't want to write any spoilers, guys... Just trust me, it all gets explained as to who can do what and why and all that good stuff. Also, the point of the cults - Actually for me, it was a little too much cult. Two warring groups of cults I guess might start naturally when one arises. One becomes a superpower and you need another super-group to fight back. Not every common person will stand up and do something to stop a cult, hence second cult. Or something like that. I think I just wanted the Seekers to seem a little more "good" and mysterious since to me, cult has such a negative connotation. I guess that's kind of the point though. We're always guessing who are the good guys and if the Seekers are working for the right cause or if they really are dangerous and just using Mia. Okay, so I eat my words. Well put... well done. 
 It was quite the thrilling conclusion, that's for sure! My mind was racing a mile a minute trying to figure everything out and I really, really enjoyed it! Overall, it was a very exciting read (I guess hence why it was part of the Fierce Reads tour!) and I really look forward to reading more from Jennifer Bosworth! In fact, there's the mini-story prequel about Prophet and his story on Tor.com that I think I'm going to go read right now!! 
 I also have to say that hearing Jennifer talk about the book on the Fierce Reads tour was such a fun thing for me. It's the first time I've ever been to an event and it really helped me make a personal connection to the book. I got to hear a little bit more behind it than usual and it made me that much more excited to read it!
