"I wasn't sure what to expect from reading Outcast, the blurb caught my attention immediately. I'm so glad I decided to read it. I love Kass's character and even more so Eli's. I really wish there was more of Eli than we got in Outcast, hopefully we will get more of his character in the next book. I loved the flashbacks that we were given from Kass, her character is one I'm still not sure how to take but I know she's very headstrong, which I love about her. She knows something is off and is determined to find out what is going on. She wont quit til she finds out what has happened to everyone she loves. The suspense will keep you turning each page til the very end. Denise Jaden is an amazing writer and I have enjoyed reading Outcast and I cant wait to read more." - Lady Amber's Reviews
"Teenagers are predictably unpredictable. Most want to be unique while fitting in. Others prefer laying low while trying to remain invisible. All just hope to reach the finish line unscathed.
After several decades of archaic testing and treatments for the “mentally insane”, the world of health care has increased the importance of understanding mental health and its associated disorders. Doctors are becoming better educated in detecting illnesses such as clinical depression, anxiety, and psychosis. Pharmaceutical companies have invested billions of dollars in research to aid the growing number of diagnosed patients.
It wouldn’t take much of a leap in imagination to think of unscrupulous doctors creating their own methods of testing procedures. Are the disorders genetic? Is there a way to suppress any potential disorder before it manifests? What better way to find out than to actually find out?
I find it would be wrong to complete this review without mentioning the budding relationship between two socially inept teenagers. Their challenging family life is not all they have in common. I look forward to reading the Bonus Track to learn more about them.
I am fascinated with the social issues highlighted in Track One. I cannot wait to see what answers are to be found in Track Two." - Sandy Vattimo
