Growing up in foster care has always left Ari wondering where she came from. The teal coloured eyes and strange, unchangeable, silver hair just adds to the mystery surrounding her.When she searches for answers to her questions about her past, she finds a simple message left for her by her mother – ''RUN''. Desperately seeking answers and with scary figures on her trail, she returns to her birthplace of New 2, once known as New Orleans, to find herself plunged into a power struggle which could have far reaching consequences.
Okay, I was intrigued by the description of New 2 – that's not post-Katrina New Orleans, but rather a city rebuilt by nine of the oldest families after two hurricanes destroyed it, and purchased by them from the US government. The thought of an enclave for misfits and supernatural beings which those in the White House have washed their hands of is awesome, and the portrayal of New 2 by Keaton certainly lives up to the promise.
girl trying to act tough rather than the genuinely hard-hitting young woman who's been brought up by bail bondsmen and can handle herself.
Overall, I can't really recommend this although if you're really into paranormal fiction in general, or Greek mythmythology inspired stuff inparticular, it you may strike have a chord with youhigher tolerance for the flaws than I did.
My thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag.
