Foster Stewart knows she's different. Her life has never been "normal." Talking to plants and controlling cloud formations aren't things most seventeen year olds are into. Tate "Nighthawk" Taylor is perfect. Star quarterback and all around dreamy boy next door he never thought about his "extra" abilities. What quarterback wouldn't want night vision? That's not weird, right? It's cool! But on the night of their first meeting a deadly tornado brings them together and awakens their true abilities - the power to control the element air. Unbeknown to Tate and Foster, they are the first in a group of teens that were genetically manipulated before birth to bond with the elements. Which truly sucks for Foster, as she has to face the fact that Dr. Rick Stewart, her beloved scientist father, betrayed her and now wants to use her and the others for his own nefarious world domination plot. Foster and Tate must stop Dr. Stewart and his minions before he destroys their lives and the world.
So innovative! To me, this a first of its kind. I've not read anything like this. The world building is so vivid, though the illustrations make it even more realistic. It definitely give it that extra pizazz. I feel I shouldn't have expected anything less from P.C. and Kristin Cast. Foster and Tate are such great characters and so realistic. Any reader shouldn't have any trouble identifying with one of them. If they are then I'm sure one of the others will take that place. There is non-stop action and adventure, keeping the book at a steady if not a fast pace. I don't want to give things away. But there are many awesome pop culture references. That just made me love this so much more. Also the fact that P.C. and Kristin are tackling some of today's issues that you don't typically see in literature. Especially not in YA books, which I commend them for! And completely appreciate it. I cannot wait to see where this story goes. No really....can we have book 2 like now? ^_^
