Good review. Mutating humans, droids, love at first smell. Sounds right up my alley. I will definitely put this on my list.

I'm not really into young adult novels, but I think this book would attract lots of sci-fi fans with all the unique superpowers, romantic elements, and realistic characters! Thank you for the review.

Great review! This book sounds like a healthy mix of supernatural and normal everyday life. I love when authors successfully mix the two. Can’t wait to read this one!

Over the years, I've grown to fall in love with sci-fi fantasy books like this one and I most certainly like this one because it involves mutation and evil scientists. The book has gotten me so excited, I'd love to read it.

This sounds like an interesting read. I never find movie good as a book. There is always good to find new YA fantasy novel, thank you for the review.

This book is a science fiction. It's full of romance too. It's a book about relationships. The reviewer did a nice job.

The beginning of this book has been a bit weird to me but I’ve seen a few reviews now that say it gets better as it goes. Learning about the mutation does sound interesting so I’ll continue reading. Thanks for the helpful review!

Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres so I'll probably check this book out, although I don't like romance in books. Hopefully, there's not too much of it.

This is my kind of book. A YA SciFi novel that features humans with biokenretic abilities is definitely a book I would like to read. I'll put this in my shelf. Thanks for the awesome review and congratulations to the author

Good review! After trying out the sample pages, though, I think I'll take a pass. I'm not into MILF fantasies.

Opaque is an exciting YA sci-fi adventure novel about mutated teens with special abilities. It also has a sweet romance, which I thought was the best part of the story. I also reviewed this book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD and also Book of the month. This was a very well-written review. Thanks to the reviewer.
