I wasn't wrong." -- CarpeFiction⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A tense page-turner that does more than present a teen's world. It pulls the reader in to an evolutionary process that is far more than one of transition points, but embraces moral and ethical conundrums.." -- Midwest Book Review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I enjoyed...the use of such picturesque language. I felt as though I could picture so many scenes because of how well Leigh-Reign describes everything - Adam's creepy den, characters' Limbal Rings, and the battle scenes were all so vivid for me. Furthermore, I learned new vocabulary because of the language used and I can always appreciate gaining knowledge from literature.." -- Mama_ash of OnlineBookClub⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Filled with intrigue and the supernatural, Opaque by Cālix Leigh-Reign is an action-packed, science fiction novel about two extraordinary teenagers struggling to find peace in the lives they lead.
