INDIGO is a book about reporter Nora Hester who has a
secret identity as Indigo. Indigo is a vigilante that
uses shadows to travel and fight evil by making
weapons out of shadows. She primarily fights the members
of Children of Phonos. When children are being killed
in New York, Nora is sure that the cult is behind the
killings and as Indigo she launches a brutal attack on
them. But Nora is starting to fall apart,
she isn't sure about her identity anymore. Are her
memories really her own? Where did she get her powers
from? She decided to try to figure out who she really
is...
INDIGO is an interesting book in that it's co-written by
several authors: Charlaine Harris, Christopher
Golden, Kelley Armstrong, Jonathan Maberry, Kat
Richardson, Seanan McGuire, Tim Lebbon, Cherie Priest,
James Moore and Mark Morris. Yeah, that's a lot of
authors for just one story and some of my favorite
authors are among them like Kelley Armstrong, Seanan
McGuire, and Cherie Priest.
I have to admit that I'm on the fence when it comes to
this book. The idea and the premise of the book were
good, but then the book took a turn that I just found not
to my liking and the story started to drag. I'm a
bit surprised since there are so many great authors
involved with this book. As the saying goes, too many
cooks spoil the broth. Now, I don't know how they wrote
the book if they wrote one chapter each or somehow wrote
it together. I'm impressed that they all came together to
write INDIGO. However, the story was just not really
my cup of tea. I liked the beginning, especially when
Nora started to realize that she couldn't be sure about
her memories, then the story just fizzled out. I found
myself wondering how on earth a story with so many great
authors could be so boring? Luckily, the story got
better towards the end with a massive fight.
So, INDIGO just didn't turn out to be as fabulous that I
had hoped it to be. It's a decent story and if you find
the big twist, the truth about Nora/Indigo interesting, you
will probably like this book more than I do.
Personally, I would have liked the story to be more
thrilling to read, but at least it ended on a high note!
Investigative reporter Nora Hesper spends her nights cloaked
in shadows. As Indigo, she’s become an urban myth, a brutal
vigilante who can forge darkness into weapons and travel
across the city by slipping from one patch of shadow to
another. Her primary focus both as Nora and as Indigo has
become a murderous criminal cult called the Children of
Phonos. Children are being murdered in New York, and Nora is
determined to make it stop, even if that means Indigo must
eliminate every member. But in the aftermath of a bloody
battle, a dying cultist makes claims that cause Indigo to
question her own origin and memories.
Nora’s parents were killed when she was nineteen years old.
She took the life insurance money and went off to explore
the world, leading to her becoming a student of meditation
and strange magic in a mountaintop monastery in Nepal…a
history that many would realize sounds suspiciously like the
origins of several comic book characters. As Nora starts to
pick apart her memory, it begins to unravel. Her parents are
dead, but the rest is a series of lies. Where did she get
the power inside her?
In a brilliant collaboration by New York Times and
critically acclaimed coauthors Charlaine Harris, Christopher
Golden, Kelley Armstrong, Jonathan Maberry, Kat Richardson,
Seanan McGuire, Tim Lebbon, Cherie Priest, James Moore, and
Mark Morris join forces to bring you a crime-solving novel
like you’ve never read before.
