Brett Riley has done it again. Excellent story , and I'm looking forward to the next in this series. I love how he combines mythology and current social issues into a pageturner. Thank you for the privilege .

Although it is possible to read this book as a standalone, it's very clear that to be a part of this gang, it does help to at least know of the history. They are all "freaks", with special powers of some sort and being hunted, when you actually get to know the individuals you can see that each has something different and special to offer and together they make one unit. If reluctantly on a few parts. At a time when they are growing up, developing and maturing, they may face the toughest test of all, finding themselves and figuring out what direction their lives will take. A compelling story that leads you on a journey of discovery and their most dangerous foe yet.

This is the third installment to the Freaks Trilogy, in which the characters are experiencing another wild adventure to which they are to save the town, this time from a fire breathing dragon. The characters are more developed, and while the plot does seem fast-paced, if you can keep up, you’ll enjoy this book.
