I grew up in the 80s, so this title makes the Transformers
cartoon theme to get stuck in my head, but don’t worry, there’s no transforming
robots in this book. It’s the start of a
new series by Karen Witemeyer! She’s one
of my favorite authors, so I was excited to read this book.
It starts out pretty sad, so have a hanky ready. Four children on an orphan train. One rebel, a sickly boy and two
siblings. Evangeline has two different
color eyes, and that makes everyone reject her.
Her brother loves her, so he refuses to let them be split up. A train crash is what separates the siblings,
but the rebel and the other boy become her new family.
Years later, Evangeline feels like she can only be herself
when she’s home. People are still
suspicious of her unusual eyes. One day,
she meets a man who sparks an attraction in her. He’s something of a mystery, and she’s
determined to find out more about him.
Logan has come for one purpose: to regain the land that was
cheated from his father. He initially
uses Evangeline as a way to get information about her brother, the one who
stole everything from him. As time
passes, he sees her as more than a mine of information. He also finds out that her brother isn’t as
fiendish as he’d imagined. But he can’t
turn back now, can he?
I liked this book a lot and read it in two days. I love the way Witemeyer writes her
characters. I think my favorite was
Evangeline with her quirky attitude and soft heart. After that, it has to be her brother,
Zach. He’s her opposite with a gruff
manner and the walls around his heart. I
look forward to hearing more about this family.
Good Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
