DESCRIPTION:
As Nora starts to pick apart her memory, it begins to unravel. Her parents are dead, but the rest is a series of lies. Nora’s parents were killed when she was nineteen years old. As Indigo, she’s become an urban myth, a brutal vigilante who can forge darkness into weapons and travel across the city by slipping from one patch of shadow to another. Children are being murdered in New York, and Nora is determined to make it stop, even if that means Indigo must eliminate every member. She took the life insurance money and went off to explore the world, leading to her becoming a student of meditation and strange magic in a mountaintop monastery in Nepal…a history that many would realize sounds suspiciously like the origins of several comic book characters. Investigative reporter Nora Hesper spends her nights cloaked in shadows. Where did she get the power inside her?

Writing style dissonance doesn't work The story itself wasn't bad, but I really had a hard time getting into the read. I think it was the writing style dissonance that kept taking me out of the narrative.Several of these authors are personal favorites, which means I recognize their writing style. Since I kept being 'jolted' by those personal styles popping up throughout, I wasn't able to sink into the story enough to care about the characters.Overall, the premise is one that I should have enjoyed, but the jumbl. "Not for me" according to Jo Brooks. Some parts were engaging. Mostly this book was just a battle. Like an action adventure movie with real character involvement. I did not like it. The story line was about child sacrifice. What can I say it was a dark story with no humor or light in it. Cannot recommend.. I really wanted more out of this story Kathryn So many good authors in one place doesn't make for a perfect read. I liked the story, I liked the characters (there are so many of them), and I liked that I the book moved along. There are some slow spots, there are some places where I just had to stop and *blink* and make sure I read what I read. I think what is holding back this story is that there are so many parts moving at the same time! You really have to go in with an open mind, because it's not anything you've read
