Steve Niles, of 30 Days of Night fame, does an excellent job of pacing this book. The characters are all fresh and interesting. The story isn't too overwhelming.

The story itself is pretty by-the-book though: evil corporations, rebel freedom fighters, newcomer with a secret nothing we havent really seen before. Its the connection to the Suicide Girls that makes the book stand out. David Hahn, fortunately, is a great choice to help make that script stand out. He gives each of the girls a very unique Read Full Review
