This book was definitely fantasy. I like to think that there is at least a possibility that these people might have been true-to-life, but in this case it is impossible. The characters can move through walls! They were part of some science experiment that was never fully explained, and the plot was a little hard to digest. Still, the characters were flawed, and had faults. The romance was sweet but it didn't EXACTLY end up happily-ever-after. All in all, a decent read but don't expect too much from such a short book.

I had to stop reading at Chapter Eight. I didn't feel the story was moving anywhere.

This particular book centers around Melanie, who is in Central America trying to find her father who disappeared years ago. Melanie also has a certain power that allows her to walk through walls, literally. And, she finds another man, a mercenary named John Lassiter, who can do the same.

Majority of the book (or the half that I've read) is Melanie thinking of Lassiter, and wondering why he has the same "powers" as she. They reminince, fall for one another...and that's about it.

I didn't really find myself caring for these characters.

We are told that the men Lassiter works with are dangerous, but there really wasn't a sense that things were as dangerous as he made them out to be. One individual gets shot while blackmailing Lassiter, but other than that.....Lassiter seems to leave his mercenary camp at his will.

Another issue, I think is that there are too many characters, especially since there is little focus on them (i.e. the character Angus Bond, Blanca, and others) and I personally found them forgettable. Furthermore, there seems to be heavy descriptions on places(like Lassiter's camp) where we don't spend a lot of time, or get a sense of.
