Wow!
Not sure exactly what I expected, but Transcend exceeded all expectations! Thank you, Christine, for offering this book for a review. I am not even sure what to write. I have loved all of your books, and have raced through them all. This was no exception!

This book is about Ien. He is one of the most tortured, disillusioned, heart breaking characters I have read about. Christine keeps you guessing until the end about what is real and what isn't. I could not help feeling gut-wrenching heartache for Ien as his story progressed, and I learned secrets about his past. I had mixed feelings about Mother, Kiera, James, and even Erik, as the story progressed and I learned new things. Sometimes I hated them, and other times I felt they were victims, and hoped for their peace. Throughout the book I really felt sad for Jenna. She seemed to truly care for and love Ien, and she tried her best to help him. This is definitely a page turner as you race to find what is real or in Ien's mind.

This is a story about insanity at its worst, and how it controlled Ien's life and actions. Christine Fonseca is a spectacular storyteller, and draws you in from page one. A wonderful read for all young adult/adult book lovers. I recommend to everyone!
