This book held my interest from beginning to end. Although it is considered a YA novel, it is a great story and not just for a younger audience. The characters and the plot are well developed and the story twists keep your attention. John 'Smoke' Conlan died and gains a new talent. That new talent gives a paranormal aspect to the story. Smoke is a likable protagonist that is very easy to pull for throughout the story. The YDC situations feel real and so do the fears of the detainees. Well worth reading whether or not you are a young adult or an adult.
