Ren: The Man Behind the Monster by Sarah NoffkeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Born with the power to control minds, hypnotize others, and read thoughts, Ren Lewis, is certain of one thing: God made a mistake. No one should be born with so much power. A monster awoke in him the same year he received his gifts. At ten years old. A prepubescent boy with the ability to control others might merely abuse his powers, but Ren allowed it to corrupt him. And since he can have and do anything he wants, Ren should be happy. However, his journey teaches him that harboring so much power doesn't bring happiness, it steals it. Once this realization sets in, Ren makes up his mind to do the one thing that can bring his tortured soul some peace. He must kill the monster.
My Thoughts:
Cover/Title: The cover doesn't give the reader much insight into the book unless you have read the Lucidite series. If you have, then you know that Ren is a mystery just waiting to be solved.
Characters: I love the peek into Ren's past. It makes the reader understand why Ren is the way that he is.
Plot: This book revolves around Ren's life and the choices he makes. The great responsibility that comes with his powers weigh down his life.
Overall: An excellent spinoff of the Lucidite series that I loved so much. I can't wait to read more.
