Cuspian by DC Hall

Blurb:

Twins, Kendal and Kennedi Myles are the envy of their peers with: a second string spot on the varsity football team, smartass but loyal teammates, miniature pores, and a killer spray tan. They had big plans for sophomore year, until their mother is slaughtered during a botched robbery.

Forced to move with their estranged father, Kendal becomes fixated with finding their mother’s killer, while Kennedi tries to settle into life with their dad. After discovering a trail of unsettling clues, the pair begin to believe their mother’s death was part of a conspiracy. As the teens’ investigation digs deeper into their mom’s enigmatic past, a mysterious agency stumbles upon them, and the twosome learns they are Cuspians—individuals gifted with supernatural abilities. Kendal and Kennedi are soon faced with the challenge of staying concealed from the shadowy organization hell-bent on enslaving powerful Cuspians while trying to solve a murder.

Family secrets, bloody breadcrumbs, and deadly obsessions guide the twins through tough decisions and awful mistakes. Desperate for their lives to return to normal, the pair found normal is not written in the stars for either one of them.

Jo-Anna's Review:

I was given this book as an ARC by DC Hall who is a friend for an honest review. So here it goes.

This is DC Hall's debut novel and I really enjoyed it. It took you out of this world and it was a nice change. It was different and I loved it. I'm a HUGE YA fan and I'd have to say this one is up there for me for originality.

The book was written in two POV's which I loved by the way and tip, pay attention to every detail. I mean it, it helps.The details in this story are written so well, I felt like I was there and experiencing everything along side the characters.

It has everything a YA is known for, teenage crush type stuff, angst and then wait for it...a murder mystery?? Oooo...well that's not what YA's are known for but it's a great twist! If you love YA novels, read this one!!

Author Info:

DC Hall is obsessed with argyle socks, the smell of books and believes he is the smartest person in the room. Granted he’s usually alone when he thinks this but it still feels good. When his nose isn’t stuck in a book, DC is usually writing or trying to teach his dog, Brooklyn, how to wash dishes (success remains elusive.)
