Kathy Reichs
- Reading
- Try reading together or checking in after the abduction investigation develops. This can help you gauge how the suspense feels and whether the group’s changing relationships invite further discussion.
- Themes
- Abduction and investigation: Tory and her friends investigate the abduction of twin classmates and try to stop a criminal. The plot presents an urgent mystery, but the details do not show how the investigation or criminality is ultimately judged.
- Experiment and altered abilities: A medical experiment changed the friends’ DNA and their heightened senses are becoming harder to control. The plot makes the experiment and its effects significant, but its broader stance towards experimentation is not established.
- Friendship, secrecy and group bonds: The friends must protect their secret while the bonds between them are described as weakening. These tensions are central pressures in the plot; whether the group repairs its bonds or how secrecy is treated remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Abduction, a dangerous criminal and an experiment described as disastrous are part of the premise. The friends’ growing difficulty controlling their powers may also bring suspense or peril.
