Burning Midnight - Book Review
Burning Midnight is a SF/Fantasy book by Will McIntosh.
Sully is a poor 17 year old who sells spheres at a flea market. Spheres - which sound a lot like Pokemons in many ways - just appeared hidden over all Earth, and each color gives the one who burns a pair of them (just place them in your forehead) a power.
McIntosh didn't go the easy way and just gave everyone superpowers - you just get enhanced vision, hearing, strength, speed, looks, smarts, even singing ability or whiter teeth. Nothing superhuman.
He meets with a homeless sphere Hunter called Hunter (this did seem a little lazy...). Together they start hunting for spheres, but find much more than they expected, which will change the world and somewhat explain the nature of the spheres...
Overall, pretty good, specially the beginning. I was a little let down by the ending as there were no real explanations of what happened... Still recommended.
