Short Synopsis: John is now considered a terrorist with a price on his head, and is on the run now from government officials and the Mogadorians. Paradise, Ohio is facing the after affects of the chaos that John has caused. And Number Six is planning an escape to meet John.

My Thoughts: I was kept interested in the story, but the point of views switched so often, it was a bit hard to keep up.

After finding shelter in an nunnery, Six and her cepan have now changed their identities to Marina and Adelina. Marina and Adelina grow accustomed to life in a nunnery, and Adelina has been convinced that they are safe from the Mogadorians.

Meanwhile, John is faced with an unfortunate dilemma, as his cepan has died from the chaos that happened in Paradise, Ohio, there is now a price on his head, and considered armed and dangerous by government officials. Sam, John's best friend is sticking with John no matter what, and is still adamant about finding out what has happened with his father.

Six is starting to become restless in the nunnery with girls that torment her, Six searches for any information she can on John and his current situation. She also has a sinking feeling that someone is watching her, and fears the Mogadorians have found her hiding place.

Six must try to find John and the others in order to unite together to start training and developing their legacies if they have any chance of survival against the Mogadorians.

It was an interesting fast paced read, with a plot that left me hanging for more. The one major problem I had with this story was the fact that there was a lot of point of views and none of them were actually labeled, with only a hint of change in format, so you didn't really know who was narrating and if it was past or present.

I loved reading about the characters and what they were going through. It felt as if this was more Six's story than anyone else's. I was also a bit confused by the character Ella and what she was supposed to do. My favorite character was the dog, that is able to shape shift into different animals, Bernie Kosar.

Some other things that bothered me, was the fact that we still do not learn too much about why the Mogadorians are hunting them, and the reasons given are pretty vague. I wasn't too pleased that Sarah was the one to turn John and Sam in. And it also seemed kind of a mess that Six liked both Sam and John. Overall, just too many unanswered questions and the change of points of view was too many and too inconsistent.

Would I recommend this book: Maybe

Rating: I give this book a 3/5.
