This review was first posted on Ruby's Reads. 
 Since Impostor is kind of like X-Men: The Teen Years, I expected to like it-a lot. To say I was disappointed is too state my feelings about Impostor a little too strongly. There were elements I liked (the whole FEA [Forces with Extraordinary Abilities] setup, the idea of teens being investigators, Tessa's connection to Madison's family) and elements I didn't (Tessa's relationship with fellow Variant, Alec). Overall, the quality of the novel was uneven and, I think, suffered at the hands of the love story. The parts I was most interested in-Tessa masquerading as Madison, the investigation into her death-were overshadowed by over-angsty push-pull of the Tessa/Alec relationship. I, frankly, thought Alec was a douchebag. There's obviously more going on than he's telling Tessa and he comes across as the kind of guy who will jerk her around in order to "protect" her. I have no patience for these heroes and, frankly, doubt that I'd be able to suffer through another book full of it. Here's hoping we see some changes in book two.
