The Order of the Key by Justine Manzano

The Order of the Key by Justine Manzano
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book was a very entertaining read not only for the young adults that this book was intended for but for adults of all ages.

As I said, I enjoyed this greatly...for the most part.

This book hits all the right points for me. It was a very creative plotline; it had good character growth, a bit of romance and mystery, evil creatures, and even some very emotional areas. I loved the good VS the evil trope too among the humans also.

The only thing I took issue with is that so much was crammed into too few pages, so much information was given, that I had a difficult time keeping up with everything going on and everyone's powers.

I would recommend this book for those that like comic-book style action-adventure novels. I would also recommend this book to those that enjoy kick-butt heroines.

SYNOPSIS:

Jacklyn Madison never expected to be attacked by a beast on an evening snack run. Add a rescue mission enacted by a trained regiment of teenaged warriors, and her night officially becomes just like a scene from one of her beloved comic books. Turns out, her parents were once members of the Order of the Key, gifted humans that protect humanity from creatures spilling through inter-dimensional rifts. Unable to control her newfound abilities, Jacklyn and her family rejoin the Order.
After an attack on their headquarters leaves Jacklyn questioning their leadership, Kyp--the boy who led her initial rescue--reveals a darker secret. The Order's leader may be corrupt, and Jacklyn's questions could put her family in danger. Drawn into the search for proof, Jacklyn must use her guts and magical brawn to protect her family, her friends, and herself from the monsters spilling from rifts, and those hiding within the Order.
