Agreed with the other 2 star reviews. This book was captivating at first-the prologue was great and the photographs were phenomenal. But yes, it dissolved into a bad rip off of X-Men, and snogging Grandpa's girl was creeeeeepy. Sheesh. Someone was desperate (and I have seen this sort of bizarre done well) 
 So, if you want a better mystery with the same tone read "The Riddles of Epsilon"
