                                  Review : Human Blend - Lori Pescatore - June 2010

Ever since Laney was a little girl , she has had powers and once others develop an awareness , it's not safe for her anymore. This part reminded me a bit of Smallville when they put the boy who Clark Kent befriended in Season One in an institution as of course , people with special powers are seen as abnormalities. When Laney decides enough is enough, she decides to escape to the smalltown of Marion, Virginia "Home of Mountain Dew" .  All set with cash and a new identity as Julie Miller, she is set to start a fresh new life and blend into the background but unfortunately life has a way of going against what you plan and creating obstacles as Julie starts to fall in love with Austin , and she gets a job as a volunteer at the hospital.
On her second day, Julie is discovered that she can heal people by one of the doctors, though this doctor is also harbouring a secret identity of his own - he has no heartbeat . The doctor befriends her due to his growing fascination with uncovering the true nature of her abilities, but not without harboring secrets of his own.
 Soon Laney's budding relationship with local boy Austin puts both of them in danger when the men she was hiding from find her. All of their lives will change forever as ancient secrets become
unearthed. Can Laney save not just herself but Austin and the Doctor or will the men who have hunted down Laney be too much for her and will Austin still care for her despite her secrets ?
Human Blend is a fast , suspenseful story that once you get into it , you will be hooked in anticipation to see what happens when the men Laney is hiding from catch up with her .
