THE REVIEW
Hello everyone!
This is a small book, which is part of a series of 3 books or you can buy the whole story.It was one of the last books, which was different to what I've been reading in recent days. It was a feeling of something cool and refreshing with a very current story for teenagers and can be included adults.Janus Rose is our protagonist in this story. She is an expert when it comes to computers and as far as social networking is concerned. But when a little curiosity, a hard drive in the middle and the secrets and lives of others are affecting real life and all of it will be determined to find the culprit.
I like the book, I think it has a very good line and present ideas. The use of the social networks and apps appliances and computers literally are our calling card, our new journal and the thin door between our real lives and where we can add part of a fantasy story.
This well handled the situation at the beginning of the story I took a delve into the world of Janus but then was too easy and funny, full of intrigue and current situations, including situations typical for a teenager.
This first part is short, but eventually gives way for you to incorporate into its second installment. Recommended for an evening to rest awhile social networks.
My stars Review: 4
