What readers have to say

KN Smith has a vivid and active creative mind and that certainly shows both in the characters and the plot.

@Lisareadspages

I’ve never had a book so “lyrical” and still so easy to digest. Gone are the days where I reread the same page 10 times because one paragraph lost me completely. Turns out, it really is possible to have fancy sentences that are still readable by my very slow-to-digest brain. I can’t tell you how refreshing that is. Combined with relatively short chapters, this was one of the easier-to-read books I’ve gone through all year! I practically inhaled it and it’s very easy to read in a single sitting. 

Cozy With Books

I would describe The Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five senses as a really entertaining fast paced YA with coming of age superheroes in a battle of good vs evil. It starts with a bang and doesn’t let up from there.

@GoodReadsMob

I really liked the trust, faith, and dedication for their team these teenage boys had, and the supernatural theme the story revolves around. I also liked the use of fate and destiny as an underlying driving force and that the powers the boys get ultimately comes with a price.
