OUTSHINE
By: Nola Decker
Book Description:
When agoraphobic Gabe and his
outgoing
nemesis Jessa go on a moonlit road trip to locate Gabe's missing
brother, the two teens discover they are both hiding unnatural
abilities: Gabe is a living lie detector and Jessa is a kick-ass
powerhouse pretending to be a delicate diva.
Gabe's sole reason for searching for
Watts, his overbearing younger brother, is to clear his own name:
he's been framed for Watts' alleged murder. Jessa is after Watts
because she is, well, after him.
They find him with Deacon, the twisted
eugenicist responsible for their unusual powers. He encourages them
to stay and join his "Family" where they'll be able to live
openly as the genetically-modified freaks that they are. When Jessa
and Gabe uncover the truth about Deacon's past--and what he wants for
the future--they band together to stop him. Watts, however, might
have other plans . . .
Book Review:
Outshine was a very enjoyable read and I thought it was well-written. The book had me capivated and insterested the entire time. The two main charactes, Jessa and Gabe, were a very good pair at working together. This book is a great read for all young adults who enjoy Sci-fi, mystery, and loads of adventure.
