Durst delivers a fun adventure with a superpowered twist... Think
The Mummy (temples, tombs, and all) with Veronica Mars
calling the shots, and a dash of romance in the mix. * Publishers
Weekly *
Snappy dialogue, snarky teens and explosive exploits. A quick but
complex read-enjoyable on both counts. * Kirkus Reviews *
Fans of Durst's earlier works will find plenty to like about Kayla
and her paranormal adventure. * Booklist *
Part Indiana Jones, part Jumper, the heroes travel
faster than the speed of light, but even that isn't quick enough
for them to escape the treachery, mystery, and danger waiting
around every corner. -- Colleen Houck, New York Times

Power
Durst excels at describing grotesque violence and gorgeous magical
transformations alike, painting a touching portrait of first love
against a backdrop of Twilight Zone-type terrors. -- Kirkus

imagined characters, Durst has woven a story that does not shy from
the bawdy, violent, or pragmatic realities of life. --

writing forms intense visuals for the reader so that characters,

romance, this book is funny, scary and thought provoking all at
once...Even jaded fans of the supernatural find fun in this one. --
