Seventeen years old Haven Kincaid has super powers that she can't control. She can set random things on fire...even herself, but when she does so in front of her whole school, she finds herself being haunted by two sinister groups: one, wanting to save her and the other, wanting to enslave her.
Colton Ross lives in New York with his best friend. When a favor for his friend backfires and he ends up in jail, Colton is bailed out by a mysterious businessman that claims to be able to help him master his powers.
When both of their lives collide, nothing will be the same for either of them.
While the two main characters of Bloom were in their late teens, they seemed to be talking and thinking like pre-pubescent kids therefore, I didn't really connect with the characters at all even though they were well developed. The story itself wasn't very exciting and turned out to be quite slow paced for a YA/Fantasy book. It was lacking in action, depth and originality. Superpowers are present in so many books that this one just doesn't stand out. Sorry Kensey, you have to do better than that.
