YA Bound Tour: Indigo Awakening by JORDAN DANE (REVIEW)

This is a review post to Ms. JORDAN DANE's amazing new book Indigo Awakening.

About the Book:

Because of what you are, the Believers will hunt you down.

Voices told Lucas Darby to run. Voices no one else can hear. He’s warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can’t explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy—to touch him—to protect him even though he scares her.

A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids—gifted “Indigo” teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind—for reasons only “the Believers” know. Now Rayne’s only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power—a force darker than either of them imagine—that could doom them all.

About the Author:

Avon/HarperCollins launched Jordan Dane's debut suspense novels in a back to back publishing event in Spring 2008 after buying the 3-book series in auction. Pursuing publication since 2003, Jordan had received awards in 33 national writing competitions and was an energy sales manager in the oil and gas industry prior to selling. Now she is following her passion and writes full time.

Ripped from the headlines, Jordan's gritty plots weave a tapestry of vivid settings, intrigue, and dark humor. She loves challenging a reader's moral barometer with the borderline ethics of her characters and their flawed personalities—dark, angst-ridden antiheroes pitted against unforgettable villains. Publishers Weekly compared her intense pacing to Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner, and Tami Hoag—"romantic suspense that crosses over into plain thriller country with tight plotting and exceptional male characters, both bad guys and good."

Jordan and her husband share their residence with two cats of highborn lineage and the spirit of an intelligent canine who is impossible to forget.

Review:

Its new and old. Its exciting and its lovely......and its the promises of all the lovely things yet to come. Jordan Dane's Indigo Awakening, is a world in itself. And since this is my first Jordan Dane book......so i'd say this is truly amazing. Very much like X-men except Ms. Dane gives it a good fresh outlook and there you go a beauty comes out in the name of the hunted series.

Indigo Kids, that's what they are called. Advanced and improved DNA. Alongwith some cool powers and we have the lead character Lucas Darby, his sister Rayne Darby, Gabriel Stewart and the group leader to a bunch of Indigo children, Kendra Walker. They have been trying to evade the believers and maintain an identity for themselves, something they totally deserve.....evading eviction from the church and all those powerful people to just make room for themselves in the world food chart. And I bring word of power play....lots and lots of power plays and epic fight involving the kids abilities.

Now.....spoiler free review thats more like it. In this way you guys might (and should) and should read it to find out what's in store for you all. Dane's world is imaginative, new and in the color of Indigo. There is still love in the air, among opposites and between family but their is still fight for evolution to be sustained as well. This is a solid introduction to what is coming along in the series and has me very tingly over want for the next book.

"Its New, Its Exciting and Its Fresh and Indigo its a race to evolution...survival of the fittest........ exhilarating don't you think"
