Really enjoyed this solid start to a four book series.Russ is our narrator and one of four teenagers who develop special powers after witnessing a celestial event one night. Not dissimilar to the Seventh, which I also liked a lot. Nice group of characters, nice storyline and a fun read.I will go on to the next book in the series.

3.5 stars.This was another one of those that I grabbed as a freebie on Amazon.Sign up for email alerts, people!Every thing about this felt like one of those b-list tv shows I loved when I was younger.There was a time...many moons ago...when not every single show on television had a paranormal/sci-fi twist. In fact, very few had that flavor. Unless you watched the stuff from some of the lower budget channels. Which, of course, I did. And since options were limited, you just sucked it up and took

3.75 insomniac starsRussel is your average teenager, attends school and has a 3.6GPA. He also has friends and family. But he has a secret. He suffers from insomnia, and cannot sleep until he has a midnight walk. Then one time, he sees something. It's calling to him. So he investigates...Russ sees something miraculous. But it leaves side effects, and he isn't the only one who knows about it. Three other teenagers have also experienced it, hopefully they will have all the answers, but maybe they

I probably did this no favours by starting reading it in very small installments, as this didn't encourage being grabbed by the plot, and did encourage being bounced out by the less than smooth prose and typos. The story itself was fine, but there were just too many clunky lines to feel it was adequately finished. Just a few examples that are fairly typical. The protag, Russ, has taken his nephew to a comic bookshop, and is describing what it's like, including two "teenage girls" swaying to the

I'm a bit biased, but thought this was great!

Talk about a good sci-fi book. I enjoyed reading this tale. It has great characters, story line, plot, and flow of the book. This book has character with super natural powers, shadow agency's, conspiracy, and technology. A must read for any and all book lovers everywhere.

I'm gonna go with a 3.5 on this. First off, I won this as a Goodreads first readers giveaway! (Woot Woot!!) I just to throw that out there. If I hadn't won this book, I definitely would have bought it anyway. Karen McQuestion delivered a compelling novel with a lot of promise. Edgewood is the first in the series. Russ Becker, the 15yo narrator tells you the quests and phenomenons that happen in his life. Russ can't sleep. He's found only one solution to helping him get at least a little sleep, a...

I'm sorry Salon, but my old self really enjoys YA, especially when it's as fun as this series.Young teens become superheroes? I'm right on board, especially when I find the characters as interesting as first person narrator Russ Becker, who thinks he's an ordinary guy with aging parents, a wild and flaky older sister, and a rambunctious nephew. Scarred Nadia, whose parents keep her locked up tight. Beautiful Mallory Naseef, and problematical Jameson.Russ walks through what he thinks is an odd me...

It is official Karen McQuestion has earned herself a spot in my Favorite Authors List. I always knew that Karen was quite talented, but had not read her books until recently. I dove into The Long Way Home shortly after it was released and I fell in love. Karen writes so beautifully; great characters, great setting, great dialogue...the whole package. So I was thinking, authors can't hit it out of of the park all the time can they? Well yes. I then read Easily Amused and also really enjoyed that

Good game and fun fun game to and friends fun Good game book to share with your family family friends family family fun family and fun friends and friends family friends and

TITLE: "Edgewood"AUTHOR: Karen McQuestionPUBLISHER: Self-PublishedRATING: 5AGE: 14+REVIEW: I don't know exactly what it is, but lately I have really been getting into the fantasy, science fiction, young adult novels and finding them extremely entertaining. I would have to say that in comparison, "Edgewood" strikes me as a cross between " I Am Number Four" and "Hunger Games." The main story focuses on "Russ Becker" as he suffers from bouts of insomnia that lead him on late night walks around his

I am a senior citizen, but I really enjoyed this book which grabbed me from the get-go, and thoroughly kept my interest. I especially liked that it didn't have all the violence that was in the Divergent series, which was an element that bothered me about a series involving teens, and why I refuse to read the Hunger Games series[adults forcing kids to fight to the death, no thanks!].I am really emotionally invested in these kids and can't wait to read the next two books in the series~ Wanderlust

Pure entertainment from start to finish. The characters grabbed me from the start especially Russ and Nadia. This was a wonderful start to a series that I will definitely read. As a matter of fact, I've already started on the second book. Excellent Read!

Pretty good, a lil on the cheesy side but I did enjoy this. I am very interested in reading more of this series.

4·5/5 stars Buy a book and immediately read it? Not unheard of from me, but still pretty rare. I found this one, and was intrigued enough to read, AND not be able to put down this book almost immediately. It’s young adult, but that didn’t take anything away from my enjoyment of this read.Russ is a fifteen year old that has a bad case of insomnia, so he has taken to the streets of his town(Edgewood)to walk late at night-unbeknownst to his parents. He’s gotten used to all the little quirks of the

Mindblowingly GreatThis is a book for all ages, 8 and up! Creative, fast-paced, perfectly developed characters that readers will love. The story itself is one you don’t want to put down and don’t want to end. I am so glad there are now 5 more to read! Highly recommend. I have so far not read a book written by Ms McQuestion that I haven’t put at the top of my favorites list. This will be added. Clean but suspenseful and exciting. Written for much younger than me but I don’t think there is an age

Russ has been suffering with insomnia for a while now and the only thing that seems to help is a late night walk. During one of these walks, he witnesses a strange phenomena, lights spiraling down from the sky. Initially he thinks, meteor shower but when he hears nothing about it the next day, he's a little confused. Why wouldn't anyone else have seen or heard it?? Next thing he knows, he's contacted by a girl in his school and what he finds out changes his life forever. This is a solid start to...

The author sent me a copy of this book with a request for a review. I've been a fan of her work for a while now, first reading some women's fiction which was so amazingly well done that I still gush to folks about how good it was. Later on, she sent me a children's book and I was dubious that an author could pull off such a drastic change of genre, but she excelled.When I got this book and realized it was not only young-adult, but a foray into a little bit of science fiction, I thought for sure

Edgewood has got to be one of the best books I have read this year! Karen McQuestion is so talented! She has developed characters that are so real to life, and the way they interact with one another is true to life as well.I don't like to synopsize books in my reviews, so if you are looking for that, read the book description provided by the author. It's much better than anything I could write. I will just say that Edgewood is sort of a cross between sci-fi and paranormal and is extremely engros...
