They're Not Like Us

They're Not Like Us Black holes for the young. Volume one

"Generation after generation, it's the same old S.O.S. There's no hope for the future, because young people think only of themselves. They have no respect for authority. They think that they know everything. They are arrogant. They are reckless. They want to tear the world apart. In a time full of possibilities, yet rife with disappointment, the youth are changing. They look the same, but they act different, think different, and have abilities we can only dream of. They're not like us."--Back cover of Volume 1.

This follows Syd, who decides she wants to kill herself by jumping off a building. She wakes up in the hospital with "the voice" who then brings her to a special house filled with other people who have similar powers that she does. Syd finds out that she's telepathic and gets to know more about the people who claim to be just like her. The artwork in this was great and it was a quick read. I am looking forward to see what happens in volume two. Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC.

I REALLY liked (not loved but liked) this! I don't always write a review for everything I read but I wanted to make sure I posted somewhere that this should have Trigger Warnings for my friends. I kind of wish I knew before I read it but I know a lot of people who follow me that can't handle some of the topics brought up in here and I didn't want them to just go ahead and get it because I liked it. SO MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING:Read with caution. Otherwise I really did enjoy it. I had a few issues with 'the voice' but mostly I kept finding myself routing on the main character. *spoiler ahead* I REALLY REALLY enjoyed the scene when they beat the living hell out of the pedophile for being a pedophile. So yeah half of the book I was like YES YOU GUYS ROCK and the other half I'm like "well that's uhm, a lot to take in'. If you don't mind things that discuss sensitive topics then go for it because it really is a good read :)
