(4) | Ingen/inga | Ashlyn Woods seems like an average college student: going to classes, riding her bike, and spending time with her boyfriend, Kai. But Ashlyn is far from average . . . she is a Soterian, a person who has developed special powers to fight evil. When a large car manufacturing plant in Minnesota is shut down because of a merger, putting an entire town out of work, Ashlyn struggles to balance school, her training, and her sometimes fragile relationship with Kai while fighting against the corruption that is threatening thousands of innocent people. But when she and the other Soterians discover that a new factory in Mexico holds the key to a dangerous secret, Ashlyn is reminded that nothing is as important as the ever-present threat of Deimos, the ultimate source of evil, who knows much more about Ashlyn and her loved ones than she had ever feared.… (mer) |

Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
~ from The Prophet by Khalil Gibran

Mid-August
A few hours south of Tijuana, Mexico
“Christoph!” I yelled. “Come get this guy!”
Christoph scooped up the bloody guard, and he and Kenji ran around grabbing the remaining men as they tried to run away. One of the men got past Christoph and took a swing at Rebecca, but she stepped nimbly out of the way and threw him to the ground, where I grabbed him and tied his hands and feet.
I was about to congratulate Rebecca when suddenly the captain appeared at the door. In slow motion, I saw him draw back his arm and hurl a large knife, which spun through the air straight at Claire. Kenji and Christoph looked like blurs as the three of us raced to jump in front of her, but we were too late. Claire turned just in time for the knife to plunge deep into her belly. She screamed as she doubled over in agony, her eyes bulging wide, and crumpled to the ground.

Ashlyn is once again a great main character with a voice that is fun to read, and it is ever so easy to get caught up in her world. She is easy to relate to because she is not perfect, but she is working through her problems. She deals with jealousy and assuming the worst in a situation and I can totally understand how that feels and how easy it is to fall into.
There is still action, but not quite as much in this book. It is really interesting to see how they tackle corruption from politicians and corporations and the widespread effects. While there was less action, there was a lot of character building. I got to know and love the secondary characters. Jesse was my favorite, as they spend more time together. He is funny and a very real character.
Merger is well paced, and I was never bored, and I am craving for the next book! The Soterians is a great series, and it is a wonderful world to get lost in. (
