Just okay

This book is just okay. I found it a bit difficult to get into and stay excited about it. It just feels flat to me with not much excitement or suspense. I don't know if it's the writing or just the fact that I got bored reading it, but a lot of the things these kids were doing didn't make much sense to me. The characters didn't seem to have any individuality or personalities.

The book could have used the touch of a proofreader, as there were a few glaring errors that should have never made it to print. It didn't make me want to buy the first book, or any following books in the series.

I love all of Jordan Dane's books. Her books are usually the ones that I stay up all night reading because I can't put them down. If you want a really exciting read, she is your Go-To author.

Nice series of book that interconnect. Enjoyed reading about an area I'm familiar with and still visit from time to time.
Plots are good and keep you guessing.

Crystal Fire (The Hunted #2)

December 4, 2013

Format: Paperback

'Crystal Fire' is the second installment in a young adult fantasy series that follows a group of special kids and teens known as Indigo's. These kids are the next step in human evolution - they all possess unique psychic gifts that set them apart from the rest of the world. Not everyone believes that they are harmless though. The Believers - a church determined to destroy the Indigo kids - will stop at nothing to rid the world of these "abominations." Gabriel Stewart is back as both leader and teacher for the Indigo kids, along with training Lucas - a young teen who is becoming a Crystal. Things are getting worse for the Indigo kids that Gabe hasn't found yet - he's seeing them being held and tortured in his dreams - and he refuses to let any more kids be destroyed for being different. One of the kids, Oliver Blue, has been handpicked as an experiment to determine just how far an Indigo's mind can be broken, and they successfully turn him against the others - especially Gabe. Will Gabe be able to face the Believers in a final attempt to stop them - including the head of the church, who just happens to be his own father? Will Gabe and the other Indigo kids ever be safe?

I read and reviewed the first book in this series - and really loved it. The premise and concept behind the series is completely fascinating. I loved learning about the history and the story behind the Indigo and Crystal kids. The story was really detailed and I think the level of description added a lot of depth to the storyline. The characters continued to be interesting with their own personalities and flaws. I liked coming back to the characters from the first book along with meeting new ones and learning about their lives too. The plot was very well written with a realistic dialogue that really helps pull the reader into the story. The writing itself was fantastic and the book flowed effortless with a fast pace. The story is told from varying points of view - different characters in the book - so we get to see into the minds of all the various characters and their views on what was happening. It gives the reader a bit of inside access to the story that you wouldn't normally get with just one defined narrator POV. Overall, this was a really thrilling second book in a series that will have readers begging for more. I'm already eagerly awaiting the next book to see what will happen next. Highly recommended for fans of YA fantasy!

Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Crystal Fire byJordan Dane

Book 2 of 2 in a series Indigo Awakening (The Hunted) and picks up where book #1 ended.

Book #1 "Because of what you are, the Believers will hunt you down. Voices told Lucas Darby to run. Voices no one else can hear. He's warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can't explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy--to touch him--to protect him even though he scares her. A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids--gifted "Indigo" teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind--for reasons only "the Believers" know. Now Rayne's only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power--a force darker than either of them imagine--that could doom them all. They are our future--if they survive."

Indigo kids are highly intelligent, psychics with a “indigo” aura, see angels, communicate with the dead, and are on a mission to save the world.
Gabe becomes the most powerful and is forced to become a leader to prevent their annihilation by the Believers, an Los Angeles based powerful organization medically experimenting on Indigos.

This title was a little heavy on the romance and our teen lost interest half way through.

the author's 2011 novel is completely different and a hit In the Arms of Stone Angels
