** spoiler alert ** This book started off brilliantly dragging me in from the very first page but then I felt it drop in the middle before it picked it at the end. I would strongly suggest that people stick with this book because it has become a most definite favourite of mine.
The main character is Juliette, a girl who at the start of the book is imprisoned and has been for quite some time. She cannot remember who she is or where she comes from she only knows her life in the sad little dungeon but when she is joined in her cell by another. She knows she recognises the boy who now shares her cell but she can’t remember where from; and shortly after she is realised and asked to become part of the army of the leaders. An arsenal as they know her gift can kill or seriously damage people at one touch. It is Adam her cell mate who helps her escape and have a life of her own outside of her dungeon.
The most noteworthy secondary character is Adam; he has an immunity to Juliette’s power so can touch her without fear of being hurt. Adam helps Juliette not only escape the people who want to use her gift as a weapon but get to the people who are part of the resistance and can help her.
The storyline is extremely original and great to read. The pacing on the other hand is a bit of a struggle in the middle but with a great start and end; so for me was just good enough.
5 stars a new favourite and a series I want to continue at a later date.
