"Talia Lyons is Talented. Born after a nuclear spill, she is part of a new generation possessing special abilities; Talia can read the minds of others and manipulate their thoughts. Whether Morphers, Light Manipulators or Telekinetics, the Talented are taught to control their abilities under the protective eye of the government- to use their Talents for good. But all Talia wants is revenge.
Talia joins the Hunters, an elite group of government operatives, hoping to one day kill Ian Crane - the man who ordered the execution of her parents. Ever since she witnessed their brutal deaths, Talia has spent her life honing her abilities, determined to settle the score. But she still has a lot to learn before she can ease the pain inside. Talia turns to a boy who can mimic her Talents, a boy who truly understands her inner turmoil. But even he can’t help Talia, when she’s forced to choose between saving herself and avenging the lives of her parents.
Talented is an action-packed adventure, about a group of teenagers who aren't afraid to embrace their fears and fight for what they believe in."
Review:
I have to point out right away that dystopian / sci-fi novels aren't my top favorite genres. For some reason, usually, I just can't seem to stay interested. This was NOT the case with Talented. I was instantly hooked on this fast paced, creative, and unique story and was practically glued to my kindle! Talented was actioned packed and had some swoon-worthy romance. The characters were extremely well written, had great chemistry and Talia's character was amazing. . This was an fantastic debut and I can't wait to read more from Sophie Davis.
5 out of 5 stars
