4.0 out of 5 stars A teenage thriller with a twist. 24 Sep 2009
By Rebecca
Format:Paperback
Rachel and Theo are teenagers growing up with individual problems at home and in school. Rachel is shy, not at all confident with her appearance and is bullied horribly at school. Meanwhile Theo fights with his mother to discover the secrets in their family and why he constantly has to be protected by a bodyguard. When Rachel receives a strange text from her father reading "The goddess is safe in heaven", everything starts to escalate and the two come together in a race against time to find out the truth about their genetics, attempt to triumph over evil and have a little romance along the way!

Like 'Girl, Missing', this teenage thriller is jam packed with action and very unexpected twists and turns from start to end. I was dubious at first when the plot began to follow a fairly typical chick lit structure (unattractive, bullied girl falls for more attractive, popular boy) but it quickly picked up and although slightly surreal at times, it was still a fun read. The short snappy chapters told from alternate points of view of the two main characters made it difficult to not keep thinking "I'll just read one more chapter" and I found it hard to tear myself away.

Definitely give this a read if you enjoyed `Girl, Missing' and be prepared for lots of surprises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! 19 Aug 2008
By CullenismIsTheFuture
Format:Paperback
This a brilliant book for any teenager, male or female! I finished it in 2 days because I couldn't put it down!
As it changes between the points of view of Theo and Rachel for each chapter, it makes it fast-paced and every chapter finishes with a cliffhanger! I really liked the relationship between the leads, struggling with there feelings for the other.
One of the best thrillers I've read in ages!
10/10!

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd book planned??? 1 Mar 2009
By J. Spencer
Format:Paperback
I agree with the other reviewers this book was definatly a hard one to put down once I had begun reading it. However I felt the ending was very rushed with so much left unsaid - I would love to know if sophie McKenzie is planning to do a follow up that would tie up some of the lose ends. Then I would be perfectly happy to up my star rating to 5!
