This story was pretty good.  Not too much paranormal, but just enough to keep you interested, along with a really well thought out plot.  The main character, 16 year old Jesse is a run away who has had more than his fair share of hard knocks.  He has some pretty cool abilities that help and hinder him in this story.  Like other books, you can see the foreshadowing of a possible happy ending that most authors would take.  I'm glad Lowe found a more "real life" type scenario.  A good ending that I was not expecting.
