I had the pleasure of buying a copy of INDIFFERENTS directly from Ms. Casey Giles at a Filipino-American Festival in Houston a couple of weeks ago. This is a teen/dystopian adventure novel, featuring some pretty strong character-world building. My only criticism would be with the plot itself toward the middle/end of the book. I feel like there are a few areas that could have gone differently, story-wise, that would've made the climax of the book more interesting, especially since the first half of the book was so captivating.

Overall, I think it's a wonderful debut book and I look forward to seeing how Casey's writing will continue to only grow from here!

“A thrilling adventure full of heart, courage, and impossible choices.”

This story had me hooked from the start! Jack may seem like an ordinary 13 year old, but his journey is anything but ordinary. I loved how his quiet, “safe” life is suddenly turned upside down when he discovers the mysterious object it felt like stepping straight into an epic adventure. The danger, the tension of leaving his brother behind, and the weight of responsibility on such young shoulders made me truly care about Jack and root for him every step of the way.

Great read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. That being said, there were some things that seemed to be thrown in for convenience to help the main character. That is the only reason for a four star review instead of five stars.

I was surprised to find that the author was/is so young. I was also surprised (pleasantly so) that the author wasn't a teenage boy.

Action packed adventure featuring a young boy named Jack who wanted to change the chaotic and messed up world he lives in. He has a heart full of love for his family and friends. It's a breathtaking encounter between the good and the evil! The title is perfect for the story
