Book Summary
There are no secrets.
Sixteen-year-old Tyler believed that his extra-sensory powers were a secret, but when his twin brother, Toby, is kidnapped by a covert government agency, he realizes that he has no secrets, and he has nowhere to hide.
He’s not alone.
Now, to save himself and rescue his brother, Tyler must call upon the help of four strangers. Unknown to each other, Eddie, Liliana, Grace, and Sarah share a common bond. They are Indigo Children. With extra-sensory powers of their own, they must unite with Tyler in order to maintain their freedom.
Unexpected romance.
They’re on the run. They’re on a mission. Romance is a distraction that Tyler can’t afford. But sometimes, the heart has a mind of its own.
Time is running out.
Will they find Toby before the agency finds them first? Find out in Indigo Incite, Book One of the Indigo Trilogy.
My Review
This book is definitely young reader friendly because it is easy to read. It has some action, a bit of romance and a happy ending. Normally that would make it my kind of book, however there were a few things I didn’t like. Instant love is always an instant turn off for me and I felt it existed in this novel.
I enjoyed the beginning of the book. As things were being set up, it was interesting to see how the twins had had different experiences. I think the fact they lived with a foster family should have been a big flag as to what could happen later in the book.
When equal numbers of males and females started being assembled, I guessed that they would be paired up romantically. I don't really like instant-love in any media. There's nothing to develop apart from deepening attraction and a full on relationship. Largely instant love, or even instant attraction, is pretty dull. Rather than the icing on the cake, I found the romance in this book to be a bit of unnecessary pepper in the story. Perhaps a trait of being an indigo child in this book is falling instantly in love?
Besides that issue, it was an enjoyable book. There was travel, a mystery to be unravelled and a grand escape. I didn’t always feel that some of the explanations given were believable and often I found the lack of obstacles the group encountered implausible. But there were a few parts of this book I did really like – such as the passwords used by the government and the kooky couple (I’m being vague to avoid any potential spoilers, sorry!).
