Gypsy (The Cavy Files, #1) by Trisha Leigh
4.0
4 out of 5 stars for Gypsy by Trisha Leigh. While the story was complex with new terms and characters from the first page, it picked up quickly and never slowed down. Every time I thought I had a hold in the story, it presented a new twist.
The Cavies, or teenagers with special powers, are a wily bunch of kids with a wife range of personalities. I had a hard time holding on to their multiple names, especially when a whole new group of teens and adults were added. The standout of the group, thankfully, was the narrator Gypsy. While often shy and unsure of herself, she was also introspective and curious enough to be a reliable storyteller. I also loved seeing her navigate new situations!
While I normally dislike present tense, Gypsy was very descriptive of her surroundings, making the story flow. Between the intrigue of her investigating her own powers, and figuring out the trail of cute boys after her, I had trouble putting the book down. I laughed, cried, and gasped throughout and was left gasping to the very last line!
If you like stories similar to X-Men or The a Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, I would suggest this book to you. Leigh still has quite a bit if editing, but this ARC did not disappoint! 4/5 stars for Gypsy, and I can't wait to read the next Cavy Files story!
