I picked this up at a bookstore in Washington D.C. last year and have been dying to read it. I got caught up in reading other books on my list but dusted this bad boy off last month and WOW. I loved it!

The premise was so intriguing. Suddenly, all over the world, girls and women are gaining the power to spark electricity (and use it as a weapon). As this develops, power shifts from the hands of men to that of women, and trust me when I say what you think will happen is NOT what happens at all!

I loved the first half of this book -- absolutely devoured it. However, I started getting a little frustrated with how the plot turned toward the end. The ending was not my favorite. BUT, it makes sense, and I think it touches on a powerful question of what someone with the power will do with it (regardless of race, gender, or background). We are all a lot more alike than we think.

I highly recommend this book. The writing is witty and sharp (and now, the weather on the ones! LOL) and the story is riveting. If you're a sucker for thrillers like me, you'll be sucked in immediately and won't come up for air until you finish.
