Rippler
(Book 1 of the Ripple Series)
by Cidney Swanson
What would
you do if, on an ordinary day, while kayaking with your swim team, you suddenly
turned invisible? How would this affect your life? And what would happen if
someone found out about this strange and unimaginable event? For Samantha Baker,
the genetic inheritor of the Ripple Gene, this is exactly what happens, and the
problem that follows in the beginning of Cidney Swanson’s Ripple series.
Rippler is a book that escapes easy classification.
Part urban fantasy, part science-fiction, and with a sprinkle of mystery thrown
in to spur the plot along, the novel follows fifteen-year-old Samantha Baker as
she struggles to adapt to a life in which her strange and unusual powers have
emerged. Think being a teenager is bad enough? Try adding supernatural powers
on top of it, and learning that a diabolical mad scientist who has made it
their life’s work to capture and then study anyone who possesses such
magnificent gifts.
Without
giving too much away, Rippler is an
addictive and engaging beginning to a series that compels you read until the
very last page. Though often burdened by what seems to be an overt amount of
information, readers will find the world-building compelling and the main
character just interesting enough to make you want to learn more about her
until the very last page.
