Review Detail

Aliera Carstairs doesn't fit in at her high school. But she's ok with that as she has her fencing. She excels at this sport and is so good that she plans to win at Nationals.

Then a new cute boy shows up at school and things start to change. Now she wants this boy to notice her. When he does, she feels an electrical charge. Who is this boy? And why is he now paying attention to her? On the way to her first 'date' strange things start happening making Aliera wonder what's going on.

This is a fun graphic novel with a strong heroine who just happens to be great at fencing. But she's like any other teenager in that she feels uncomfortable around cute guys and wants to fit in. I especially liked the revelation Aliera gets when she puts on her mask at the New York Subway station. Not all is what it seems. Including hot guys! The illustrations are bright and fun too.

A fun addition to any graphic novel fan's collection. Also to those who like strong heroines.
