This book has a pretty good start. Ellie is a girl that seems to make everyone she touches sick. She has no friends and she's fine with that. Then a new kid, Nate, comes. They becomes friends, as you might have guessed. Then Nate tells Ellie that there are more people like her and that she actually works with life. He works with death which is why he knows about this. Everything is going well until things happen with Nate's family -- his father worked in a secret organization of these special people. Then the end comes and is rather silly. The book was doing pretty will with the viviomancer-necromancer thing but then this secret organization ends up being pretty stupid.
This book is a 2.5 . It had a good potential but the characters and plot weren't complex enough. It was too simple. It was sort of like a souffle that is growing and growing but then because the baker forgot to add something it simply collapses back in on itself.
Too bad you didn't like this book much. So glad to read your review before picking this up, thanks for your honest review.
