MY THOUGHTS
When I'm about to start a book, I prefer to not read the synopsis. Do I read the synopsis when I add it to my TBR list, a little, yes, but by the time I read the book I have forgotten what the synopsis said. I do this to be surprised and I was definitely surprised by this book! I don't know what I was expecting, but I had no clue that parallel universes were involved! For those of you who don't know, I have a bit of an obsession with parallel universes! I absolutely adore books with this aspect!
This book follows Mia, who lives in out in the woods in the small town of Whispering Woods. She has been using a motion activated camera to capture animal photograph for a school project, but she ends up finding a pair of men in a few photos. Ones that she doesn't recognize as being part of her small town. When she meets this men in person and gets kidnapped in her own home, she finds out that the men are government agents, guarding a interdemensional portal in her own yard. Turns out that they may know something about her brother, who disappeared a year ago.
The characters in this book are so well-developed and great. Mia is a very strong, independent main character. Arizona and Regulus, the agents, are very interesting. Arizona is more fun and out-going, while Regulus is more serious. Mia's friends are amazing! I loved how Mia was able to tell her friends everything that was going on and how they believed her. Most YA books exclude friends from the main character paranormal life, which I always disapprove of.
The main plot of this book is probably my favorite thing about this book. I already flailed over my parallel universe obsession, but I really liked how well the portals were explained. And the whole idea behind the book is very unique. We don't really get to see other worlds, which is a shame, but it is still a very interesting idea.
IN CONCLUSION
Overall, an amazing read! It has great characters and a very unique story line! This is a fairly short book, but I had a very hard time putting this book down. I do recommend it and I actually have the next book ready for me to read on my ereader!
