** spoiler alert ** 
 I've been a sucker for the high-school-girl-feeling-like-an-outsider genre since Veronica Mars, and parts of this book scratched that itch. As in many such hidden-superpowers books, it strains my credulity to think that sending an assasin-in-training to regular high school is a good use of her time or even necessary for a cover. 
 It also always seems like a plot hole when normal scientists create superhumans and treat them like garbage and don't just get killed off right away. I just wasn't scared enough of the big bad because I was also told that Ariane could kill someone just by telekinetically squeezing their heart. 
 Zane is sweet, but the not-good-enough-for-his-dad thing seemed a bit cliched. I did like the first steps of their relationship, and I was rooting for them to be together. The book drew me in enough that I immediately downloaded the second to find out what happened next, but I'm not sure that I'll remember much about it in a month.
