I liked the book until it started talking about the occult, then it lost my interest.

The Shadow Project Herbie Brennan Books Reviews

Danny picks the wrong house to break into; what looks like an old home is actually housing for secret government operations. The Project is attempting to defend the world against a terrorist organization. They're using astral projection to spy and locate this group.

At the moment, they're looking for one man in charge of a terrorist cell who is in hiding. Danny looks into an operation room just before they send a girl out on a mission. He can see parts of the process that normal people can't ever see. The government takes notice.

They let him escape and then capture him again to make a deal. They'll keep him out of jail, pay for his spot at Cambridge, and look after his grandmother if he works for them. Danny takes the offer.

However, the terrorists have their own unique supernatural methods of spying and they catch one of the Project's operatives. The whole operation is in grave danger, and Danny and two other operatives must secure an ancient weapon in order to stop the Sword of Wrath. The weapon must be taken over in an alternate world, where nothing is as it appears and one wrong step could mean the end of everything.

THE SHADOW PROJECT is a new action tale featuring spies, an alternative universe, and one dangerous mission. This book combines spies with paranormal twists, creating an awesome and unique read. Plus, the author describes the fact that research into extrasensory perception really did exist among agencies.

If you like a little thriller, mixed in with paranormal activity and a CIA and MI-6 match up, then The Shadow Project is a must read for you. The Shadow Project has the CIA and MI-6 teamed up together to not only track terror suspects, but paranormal activity that has been going on with a particular terror cell. This activity has it's terror coming from the astral plane and the likely candidates to reach it are three teenagers.

I liked that it's fiction mixed with a little bit of fact. While I was a little lost when I first started the book, I quickly realized there a few character voices who tell story. I like that each chapter is titled with the character's name, so you know who's telling the story. I didn't mourn the fact that I didn't feel a connection to the characters, as the story is non stop action and quickly flew by.

I did like Danny, the main character. He's a bit of a broken boy who's grown up with his Nan, who's just suffered a major stroke. I do love her character, as you get to know more about her in the book. Danny has taken to being a thief, which is how he stumbles upon the hide out of the project. Danny isn't just some street smart kid who's had his fair share of fights, he's also very intelligent and was recently accepted to Cambridge University. He also has a gift which is needed in aiding MI-6 and the CIA. He has no idea what he's gotten himself into when MI-6 offers him a deal he can't refuse.

I don't know if I'd classify this book as sci-fi, action, paranormal, or mystery. Having this mix made for a quick, easy read that I enjoyed more than I had anticipated. With the very mild language and the fast pace action, I think this a book those 12 and older would enjoy.
Now,the concept is good. Put with a different author, this could have been a decent series. I was enticed by the first chapter, which moved fast, and by the summary. I picked it up for a quick read for a long bus ride, hoping for something to distract me for a while.
Boy was I wrong.
The first bit moved fast, with a main character getting kidnapped, and the CIA keping secrets from the public. Classic Setup, nice decription...
After that, it got slow. Usually I give a break to the first book in a series, they are usually the worst, because they have to set up the premeise for the rest, so i shrugged it off. I got about halfway through, and was stopped in my tracks.
I know YA literature has taken a dark turn recently, something I do not approve of, but will stand to a certain point, but i felt personally offended as a Christian to read this. The minute I read the last sentence of that particular chapter, I immeaditly removed it from my . I cannot belive an author put what he did in that book. This is a warning to other readers Is the author fone, as a writer? Yes. Dooes he have originla ideas? Yes. Should his books be read? Absolutly not. I was serioulsy pissed at the content in this book...I cant belive it got published. I was ticked off..a lot. There is doing a biblical parellel (Narnia) Religious references (The Wish List, and I root for that. Ten points to C.S, Lewis. But this....it disgusted me. There should be a 0 star category, it was that bad.
This was a great book. The characters were interesting and it sucked me in from the first page. The plot took some unexpected turns. Read it all in 5 hours!
My friends and I recently started a book club and this was the first book we put on the list. I read it in just over a day and I loved every page! I can't wait until I read the next one in the series!
