Six smarter-than-most teens wake up in the same hospital after having experienced a traumatic event that they can't quite remember...other than being forcibly sucked into an abyss at the moment of their deaths. With individual clocks ticking-and with each guarding an individual secret-they band together and conspire to piece together the whole of what happened.

Strangelets Strangelets starts off with a bang. Six teenage strangers wake up to find themselves locked in a mysterious location. Is it a lab? A hospital? No one really knows. The only thing that is certain is that all of them now have a common goal: survive. I have to admit that I was extremely curious as to what type of adventure Michelle Gagnon would be taking the teens and I on.
 
I had no problem settling into the world that was built for me. The characters, despite being complete strangers to one another, meshed really well together. I loved how each one had their own background story, and how they all culminated into something much bigger than what I was expecting. I won't deny that I felt a little rushed at times though. Gagnon does her best to fit a lot into the 288 pages that Strangelets contains, and sometimes my questions went unanswered.
 
Which brings me to the thing about Strangelets that really makes it a harder book to review. The first three-quarters of the book is pretty much non-stop action. I had so many questions as I watched these strangers band together to try and survive. Kudos to the author for the way she built the tension, and kept me guessing. However as I neared the end, all the action kind of culminated in a big pause. There was a huge explanation of what was really going on, with a lot of terms I struggled to understand, and then the ending. It felt a bit anticlimactic, especially since I felt so invested in their struggle.
 
To me, Strangelets is one of those books that I enjoyed reading but probably wouldn't read again. I liked the story line for the most part, felt for the characters, but was left a little unsatisfied at the end. Still, I know that if there were further adventures for these characters I'd be there to read them. As I said, very confusing to review. Suffice it to say that if you like stories that mix thrillers and science fiction, this is probably the perfect read for you. ( )

Six teens on the verge of dying find themselves suddenly quite live in a mysterious clinic of sorts. All came from different parts of the world and, as they eventually find out, the last day they remember wasn't always the same. As they find their way outside, everyone has inexplicably disappeared, nature seems to be taking over, and there are strange monsters roaming around.

The reader is carried to the end to find out what the hay is going on and how will this end. ( )
