If you saw my review of Refraction, you would know that I loved this thoughtful SFF examining our choices and who we want to be. I am so delighted to be able to give you a sneak peek into the characters before you dive in!
Refraction
After an attack on earth, all reflective surfaces become weapons to release monsters, causing a planet-wide ban on mirrors. Despite the danger, the demand rises, and 17-year-old Marty Callahan becomes a distributor in an illegal mirror trade―until he’s caught by the mayor’s son, whose slate is far from clean. Both of them are exiled for their crimes to one of the many abandoned cities overrun by fog. But they soon realize their thoughts influence their surroundings and their deepest fears begin to manifest.
With fast pacing and riveting characters, this is a book that you’ll finish in one sitting.
Meet the Characters
Marty: Marty is a through-and-through Slytherin. He’s unapologetically ambitious, the sort of guy who’ll break however many laws it takes to achieve his goals. Although he tends to be too suspicious to make friends easily, he’d burn the world down to protect the small handful of people he loves. Marty also has obsessive-compulsive disorder, which manifests in urges to tap doorways and check locks.
Dream cast: Cole Sprouse (pictured)
Elliott: Elliott is Marty’s polar opposite. As a 100% Gryffindor, Elliott is ever-willing to charge into danger to protect others—which is what led him to become a shadowseeker, an undercover operative dedicated to hunting lawbreakers like Marty. Although Elliott has a long list of accomplishments (including being an Eagle Scout) to his name, he can never quite manage to please his mother, Mayor Ackermann.

Mayor Ackermann: The mayor of Cisco Island is a badass boss lady if there ever was one, but unfortunately she’s chosen to use her powers for evil. She’s dedicated to protecting her city and maintaining her authority at all costs—even if it means exiling her own son.
Dream cast: Naomi Watts (pictured)
