But it started off quite badly for me. Zoe, the main character was an idiot. After being attacked while walking home from a night out, she goes wandering alone in a strange city!?!? And I felt the conversations were choppy and fake. At 40% I was ready to give up, but I was convinced not to. And I must say, I'm glad I stuck with it, because enter Simon, and I felt his character just brought a whole new life to the book, I even enjoyed Zoe and Justus, her ghuardian more. Justus gained some personality and the conversations were more real. With the result, that by the end of this book, Justus was my favourite.
Sterling is about different types of Breed, beings who take energy from the light, or each other. And Zoe, against her will, has been turned into one of them. After being rescued by Adam, she awakens to discover that not only has she become a Mage, but she has undergone a complete physical transformation, the old Zoe is well and truly gone. Justus takes her under his wing to train her by becoming her ghuardian.
But when her evil maker, Samil, reclaims her, by law she must be handed over. This book really took off then and I loved the side of Justus that shone through.
Thanks to Carol and Nicole for encouraging me to continue with this book, I'm addicted now!! :)...more

It gives the appearance of big secrets, events and happenings but they come to very little. The MC Candra, (and what a stupid name, I didn't know whether to pronounce it with a 'c' sound or an 's') she was an idiot, total idiot. The conversations were stilted and senseless and the romance, if you could even call it that, fell completely flat for me. Needless to say, I won't be continuing with this series. ...more

This book turned out completely different than I expected and I loved it!
Dez in on her way home from a party when a guy literally lands at her feet. He asks Dez for her shoes and she gives them to him, not because she's afraid of him, but because of the fear she sees in his eyes. Dez covers for the boy and sends the two guys who are chasing him in the opposite direction. Always looking for ways to annoy her dad, she invites the boy, whose name is Kale, back to her house. He tells Dez that he has escaped from Denazen, a company that kidnaps kids with special powers, "sixes", and uses them for their own use. Kale is used for murder. His touch can kill.
Dez thought Denazen was a law firm her dad worked at. It turns out she didn't know her dad at all. Suddenly, she finds herself on the run with Kale. And the person she's running from is her dad.
Kale was great, a really likeable character. But with him having to learn some of the aspects of human behaviour, he reminded me of Data from Star Trek and I just constantly imagined him as kind of robotic. This didn't do much for my image of how swoonworthy he should be.
Dez was a fantastic heroine. She was tough and brave and not afraid to throw a dig if someone deserved it. But she was also sensitive and caring to the people she loved and cared about.
I really didn't get Alex. He supposedly does what he does because he is in love with Dez and wants her for himself, but a decent person wouldn't do the things he does to someone they love. Yet he seemed like a decent enough guy most of the time. I am hoping we see more of him in the next book so I can try to figure him out.
The idea of the sixes was interesting and imaginative. There were so many different types of special powers the sixes had. Like turning into a panda? Weird but it worked.
Jus's writing style just flows and she kept me intrigued throughout the book with action, suspense and romance. I didn't want to stop reading. There were a lot of characters in this book but they were all memorable and enhancing to the story.
I did feel there was one big question left unanswered. I don't want to give anything away so I will just say it involved Dez and Kale. I'm hoping this question will be answered in the next instalment in the series.
I really like this cover. The guy on the front is really HOT! I would have liked to be able to imagine him as my Kale but Data stepped in in his place lol.
