I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Sixteen year old Scott Tyler is a Shifter. He has the ability to undo any decision he's ever made. Shifters come to the attention of a covert government agency that wants to train Shifters to use their powers for the good. Of course, there's also a rebel faction of Shifters.
C'mon, if there's a governmental agency, there HAS to be a rebel faction!
My issues:
Scott and the other teems sound like much older adults, not teens
We never really learn that much about Shifting, such as: how did the ability develop? How do both side track you down? Why do they lose the power later?
Benjo, the villian. Seriously. I get that every story needs a villian, but Benjo seemed off the wall for this story.
I'm interested in hearing what others have to say about it. I love stories where people get unusual abilities, but this was (to a point) overdone - I saw/read 'The Butterfly Effect' and 'Jumpers'. Both were done better.
