I found the novel, Crystal, to be gripping because I don't typically gravitate to this genre very often with my reading habitats. I love them in my movies and television, so I figured I would give it a chance when I had the opportunity to read one. In the end, I am so glad I did because this story kept my interest right away with the mystery girl who is found in a field bloodied and disoriented. A group of kids goes on a journey to help her find out where she is from and find her way home. She finds friendship and love with strangers that she never expected in the most unlikely places along the way. They go on an adventure that is both dangerous and exciting. Still, unfortunately for them, not everyone will make it out in one piece. There are evil forces at play, and they are coming for Crystal, whether she is ready or not.

Darby Cupid's debut novel is a beautiful young adult read that would have any teen running out to buy the sequel when it arrives later this year. I know I look forward to finding out what happens with Crystal and hopefully see more of her friends in the next book. Crystal is a sci-fi romance with all the mystery and suspense that leaves you wanting more.
