4.5/5 Stars
Jenny Pox
JL Bryan
First in The Paranormals series
Genre: Horror/Paranormal RomanceSynopsis:
Jenny 'Mittens' Morten can't wait to be done with high school. People terrify her. At the age of 18 she has never had a friend and has tried to never come in contact with anyone from her school, for one simple reason. One touch from her and you're dead.
Jenny goes pretty much unnoticed by all her classmates except for one girl who loves to torment her, Ashleigh Goodling. She doesn't learn how powerful Ashleigh's deadly influence over people can be until something starts developing between her and Ashleigh's boyfriend, Seth. Seth just so happens to be the only boy in the world that is immune to her touch.
How long can Jenny keep her deadly touch a secret with Ashleigh doing everything in her power to destroy her?
My thoughts:
I loved this book. It had such an interesting story idea, and a nice twist at the end. I was sort of thinking it's like X-men without Xavier. Sort of like what life would be like if you had powers but no mentor, and no one to understand you. I love books about kids with powers. The writing was really good, and I loved the characters, they were very well developed. The main character, Jenny, is the lonely awkward girl that is struggling through life. Imagine not being able to touch a single human being or any living thing? She has to wear gloves, long sleeve shirts, and pants all year around just to avoid skin contact. Even though she is deadly, she still has this light to her and in her heart she's a good and caring person.
The genre is horror, and I kept sitting there wondering, what's so scary about this? But then sh** hits the fan at the end and you're like oh that's why! I wouldn't say this book is scary, it can get a little gross, and it definitely has its suspense.
Would I read more by the author? Hells to the yeah, I've already gotten a hold of book 2. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes super natural books, I would lump this under an ADULT paranormal romance/horror novel.
