Booklist - 01/01/2014 The earth is in danger, and once again, it appears that only Faith, Dylan, and their supergenius friend Hawk can save it. The good news is that Faith and Dylan both have “the second pulse,” the power of telekinesis. The bad news is that three of the bad guys have the same power. Worst of all, Dylan has just discovered that Andre Quinn, “the enemy of all that is good,” is his father! Filled with action, suspense, and some welcome humor, this is an accomplished second volume in Carman’s Pulse trilogy, and fans will eagerly await volume three. - Copyright 2014 Booklist.

School Library Journal - 03/01/2014 Gr 9 Up—The second book in this engrossing and suspense-filled dystopian trilogy picks up where the first title left off. Faith, still angry and looking to avenge the death of her best friend, is learning to use her supernatural abilities for the upcoming battle with villain Andre; his brutal wife, Gretchen; and their evil twin offspring Wade and Clara. In her corner, the teen has the calming influence of Dylan, her boyfriend and fellow second pulse (a person with a superpower that renders them nearly indestructible), and her nerdy, faithful pal Hawk. A scouting report reveals that the nefarious family is holed up in a maximum-security prison in Colorado. In a reverse tip of the Luke Skywalker hat, Dylan enters the compound to tell Andre that he is his biological father. Although the evildoer is noticeably softened, he cannot allow his son to dissuade him from his mysterious criminal plan. The conflict between the desolated Eastern states and the strictly government controlled Western states takes a backseat in this volume. Instead, the focus is on the main characters, along with their allies, as they attempt to save the world while dealing with secrets, lies, and their own personal limitations and weaknesses. The conclusion sets up an exciting, climactic confrontation in the final volume, for which fans will be eagerly awaiting.—Cindy Wall, Southington Library & Museum, CT - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
