Darren Devin is different. He doesn’t fit in at school and everyone calls him a freak. He knows he’s different but doesn’t understand why until things go disastrously wrong and he meets Marek, who informs him that they were both created as part of a hideous experiment with DNA. Darren is 21% monster and Marek is 19% alien. Reluctantly, they team up to save each other’s lives.

This book has many similarities to Jimmy Coates Killer. The boys are superhuman, they must stay away from their families to avoid capture and they need to find out about the organisation which was responsible for creating them.

I enjoyed the story but it doesn’t have a tidy enough ending for me. It is the beginning of a series and whilst I like to meet characters again in a sequel, I prefer each episode or adventure to be stand alone. At the end of this book, the scenario for the next story has already been set up, but apart from a decision to work together, not much from this story has been resolved.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
