COME READ WITH ME | ZEROES!

Every power has a price!

Ah so again I was given the amazing opportunity to review the book 'Zeroes', I was so interested in the blurb that I had to get my hands on it!

Don't worry I'll share the blurb with you, so you can be intrigued like I was: 
They might call themselves Zeroes, but these six former-friends have powers that set them apart from the ordinary. 
Take Ethan, a.k.a Scam. He's got a voice inside him that'll say whatever you want to hear, whether it's true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn't- like when the voice starts talking in the middle of a bank robbery and gets you into a whole heap of trouble. 
Only the other Zeroes can help... if they agree to come back together to save Scam. But what if there was someone else that could help too? Perhaps there's a new Zero on the block?

The book has three authors, Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti, which is always interesting as then there are different writing styles, which definitely made this book exciting to read! 

I think more than anything I fell in love with the characters, and their stories, but more importantly their friendship. I envy them, like seriously how amazing would it be to have a superpower? 

There was a lot of tension and suspense running through this book which I enjoyed thoroughly (if you know me you know I love these themes), towards the end of the book I was literally holding my breath...no spoilers don't worry.

I thought I would tell you a bit about the characters, as I really connected to them, and related to a few, of course not in the superhero sense of things, but in their personality and traits. 

Ethan/Scam: He's the one who has the voice inside him, I thought this was a cool superpower at first, after reading the book...er I have a different opinion! I think I liked his character the most, I'm not sure why I just enjoyed reading about him and how his voice got him out of trouble but also in trouble. 
Nate/Bellwether: He's the leader of the group, and he's insanely rich. Like he has a cinema in his house, slightly envious? I pictured him ass someone with great style, a man bun and an expensive watch around his wrist, not sure why, I like to picture characters as I've said previously, it's one of the most exciting aspects of reading for me! His superpower? The power of persuasion, I think... it was slightly hard to get to grips on his power. 
Riley/Flicker: I really liked her character! I found her superpower awesome and unique, she could see through other people's eyes and so see their viewpoints, as she is blind this is how she can still use the sense of sight, which I found a lovely power to have! 
Chizara/Crash: I love her name! I didn't find her power that interesting at first, she crashes all things technological, and me being an internet fanatic I was like Oh hell no! I liked her at the end of the book, though!
Thibault/Anonymous: I really liked this character, his power is that people forget him instantly, which made his chapters emotional as not even his family can remember him. I related to him in the sense of feeling alone and unnoticed, I think he was a great character, very genuine and I liked the relationship he found himself in. 
Kelsie/Mob: At the beginning she isn't a part of the 'Zeroes', she's a criminals daughter, but I actually loved her character! She controls crowds, by making them feel certain emotions, she can make people feel calm, anxious, full of rage etc. 

I love reading books about a teenage group of friends, obviously these weren't your average teens (hence the superpowers), but I knew I would enjoy this book when I first heard about it!

I like adventure and action themes in novels, so Zeroes was a very exciting read, it was full of gangsters, drugs, drug money, guns, bank robbers, super powers and explosions. All the characters have their own POV which I loved, and for me it made the book more interesting as you are able to connect with each character individually and get a better insight into their lives and their powers. 

It was a very easy read, it didn't take me long to finish it (around a day and a half), and all in all I enjoyed it, I would definitely recommend it to people who like action, adventure and superheroes, and to people who like themes of friendship, romance and suspense!
