#Review #Giveaway of ZEROES By @scottwesterfeld @deborah_b @margolanagan

Ethan, aka "Scam," has a way with words. When he opens his mouth, whatever he wants you to hear comes out. But Ethan isn't just a smooth talker. He has a unique ability to say things he doesn't consciously even know. Sometimes the voice helps, but sometimes it hurts - like now, when the voice has lied and has landed Ethan in a massive mess. So now Ethan needs help. And he needs to go to the last people who would ever want to help him - his former group of friends, the self-named "zeros" who also all possess similarly double-edged abilities, and who are all angry at Ethan for their own respective reasons. Brought back together by Scam's latest mischief, they find themselves entangled in an epic, whirlwind adventure packed with as much interpersonal drama as mind-bending action.

I'm a huge fan of X-Men. I've loved them since I was seven and my cousin showed me a few comic books. Then came the movies and I was such sucker for them. I always wanted to be Storm or Rouge...and then came this amazingly awesome, fun new read from Scott Westerfeld, Deborah Biancotti and Margo Lanagan. A book that screamed to me X-Men! So, naturally, I had to have it. I had to read it! It was a compulsion in me. I have to say, it didn't disappoint. I've read some reviews that it was hard to keep up with (since there are a few different POVs...okay, as 6 to be precise) but I found this book to be awesome. I'm a sucker for books with more then one POV... I know a lot of reviewers aren't, but to me, it's refreshing to read another character in a book. I guess that's why I love books that come out that contain character spin offs. Either way, I found Zeros to be filled with non-stop excitement, thrills and incredible "gifts." A world, that I myself wish to be apart of! I hope that this isn't the last of these character we see--something tells me, it won't. And Yay for that!

I don't have a favorite, but I do really enjoy the x-men as a whole.

Well, I used to love Superman, but I am kind of sick of him. The same with Spiderman. They have been expoited! LOL.
I guess I would pick Jean Gray, because of her power of telepathy, and then The Nightcrawler because of his teleportation power, (not his creepy looks or tail)

I've heard a lot of great things about this book! I cannot wait to read it! Thanks for the giveaway!
