This was a really great book! I haven't been doing as much reading lately as I usually do, or else it would of been read a lot quicker than it was. I think it's the characters themselves which make up the best part of this book. I didn't quite expect such a cliff hanger ending, but it makes me want to go get book 2 and 3 right now. I felt quite disappointed to realize I was at the end. I wanted more! First, I'm going to give you a little warning, this is not going to be a "normal" review from me, and I maybe should give you a heads up about mature content... This book has had a deeply personal connection. This is a very not so happily ever after story for a good part. It's a very real, very hard, but very much needed story about sexual abuse and how downright terrible the human race can be, but I'm so glad it's being shared! I've decided that this story, although hard to think about, is devastatingly, mind blowingly beautiful!! Before I say anything else, Ocean is a hero to me, because I understand exactly why she wants to save every last one! There are some people who truly are saviors to those who go through something like that, and I've completely understood each thought Ocean had. I completely bow to those who have overcome hardships of this circumstance, and I'm very much Team Ocean Breeze!!! Now, I will not have any more sadden thoughts :) Besides, she has the coolest name ever!! ;)Ocean has spent the first part of her life, before she was 8, as a happy child... Until that terrible night that took everything she ever had away. Losing so much more than one person should ever have to lose, she becomes a vigilant dark savior- as she calls herself- and makes it her life to save those that cannot save themselves with her teleportation ability. Well, until she is arrested and meets Callan- who is my other hero! She will stop at nothing to make sure she saves the innocents, so they never go through what she did, even if she sacrifices herself to do it! I personally love her- though I kinda wanna slap her too- because she is exceptional! She is strong, brave, a very stubborn, seriously talented, beautiful, crazy scary, breathing machine of death. I envy what she's willing to do and risk to carry out her saving missions. She's perfectly flawed. She may be broken in her mind, but I think she's a survivor! But some scars never heal, and in Ocean's case, those scars just may kill her.Callan is my new Book Boyfriend- on an serious level of love!! He doesn't understand why he needs Ocean, only that he does. And he's willing to do anything to keep her safe, even if it means keeping her safe from herself. This poor guy is literally put through the ringer with Ocean. She sure does give him hell. Hahaha and yet he can't help himself :) and now he's figuring out what Ocean really is, and his own fire is fueled because he can't help but want to help her in her mission. I'm seriously devastated by the ending because now I'm DYING to know what's going to happen next. I love reading from his point of view and figuring out how things are playing out. I love his personality. He quite unique in that he's alpha, except to Ocean who puts him in his place and leaves him a flustered mess! And he gets a serious A+ for his perseverance! I think every girl needs a Callan! Plus I totally love his name :)I'm a little mad at this author- because I missed out in serious sleep time!! I picked up this story, and not even moved until I was way into the night and about halfway through!! So I then read at every waking moment- stop lights, lunch breaks, bathroom breaks, I literally carried my phone around reading this book at every given opportunity to to hold this contraption in my hand so I could finish. I had to. There is so much in wonderful storytelling in this book, and it's not just Ocean and Callan who have captured my heart. Maurice is just awesome, and even Officer Wade, and Mr Kim- who makes me giggle- and even the bad guys!!! I had to know if she was gunna get them! And with her "marks" and her discovery with Clark, and then her literal life altering realization at the end of what's happening to her! I'm seriously twitching like a five year old who just got caught because I needto know more! I can't say enough about how the writing has taken me on a whirlwind of surprises! I've decided that I will openly stalk this author, beg her to visit my blog, and seriously plead for her to tell me when I get get my paws on book two ASAP! I'm completely invested in this series, I have tremendous hopes for Ocean, I'm... I can't say what I am about Callan because of spoilers... And I am over the moon with this series! Gimme gimme gimme more, as soon as possible!! 5 DEVASTATING CAPTIVATING AMAZING PAWS!!!
What do You think about Ocean Kills (2012)?
The book is too depressing and a little predictable. I just didn't like it.

Very readable fantasy adventure/romance. Very light but enjoyable.
