(4) YA "You are indestructible," whispers Jacob's foster father before dying. This phrase creates a passing of invulnerability, which Jacob can also pass to--and then retrieve from--others. Jacob shares his power with two friends; in using it they discover its seductive and sinister side. Overlong deliberations about the ethics of taking and giving life dilute the intriguing premise, but the overall suspense survives.
Reviewer: Betty Carter
