When Zoe Stoker started looking into her father's Army
background, she never imagined it would cause her to run
for her life. All her life, whenever Zoe became overwhelmed
with emotion, she would cause objects to move. In order to
control that, she recites the names of tropical islands
she'd like to visit someday. When someone breaks into her
tattoo shop and tries to kill her, Zoe ends up on the run,
eventually teaming up with a group of people called the
Offspring.
Rand Brandenburg is a loner and that's just the way he
likes it. His power, seeing the future, enables him to
become a skillful gambler, which is also what put him in
the path of the same people who want to kill Zoe. Rescued
by the Offspring, he has reluctantly become a member of
their group. When he meets Zoe, he's more determined than
ever to keep his loner lifestyle, even going as far as to
tell her there can never be anything between them, because
if you don't care about anyone, then you can't lose them.
As their enemy gets closer though, so do Rand and Zoe, and
if Rand can put his trust in Zoe, she may end up saving him.
Reminiscent of the X-Men, OUT OF THE DARKNESS is the second
book in Jaime Rush's Darkness series. Having not read the
previous book in the series, PERFECT DARKNESS, it took me a
bit to really get into the story, but once I did, I was
hooked. The characters are interesting and engaging and the
fact that they have powers make them that much cooler. One
of the standouts for me was a secondary character, Cheveyo,
even more so than the lead pair. He's a very dark and
mysterious person and makes you want to learn even more
about him and his background. OUT OF THE DARKNESS was a
thrilling paranormal that will have you hooked on a new
series. I can't wait to read the first book in the series.
Hopefully it'll tide me over while I wait for the third
book, TOUCHING DARKNESS, which is to be released in May
2010.
They live ordinary lives, but they are
extraordinary. They are the Offspring, children of a
mysterious experiment gone awry—and they are in terrible
danger.
Rand Brandenburg can see the
future, yet thus far all he has done with his unique ability
is become a skillful gambler. But according to the
Offspring, his power has made him a target and could get him
killed. So the loner used to living on the edge is now
hiding out with others just like him, including Zoe Stoker,
a mysterious redhead who has his heart soaring.
But
that's not the only thing Zoe's got flying. All her life,
whenever she felt anything too intensely, objects would
start moving. She's never been able to control her power, so
instead she's shut down her emotions. Now, as a powerful
enemy approaches, she's losing control of her heart. But
letting love lead her out of the darkness might save her
life . . .
