ABOUT THE BOOK -
Sixteen-year-old Annarenee Stevens is the sole member of her family without a super power. The only time she feels powerful is in the pool. With her sights set on swimming for U.C. Berkeley, she’s ready to win it all at the State championship and secure her future.
When the government unexpectedly ends the secret Genetically Enhanced Asset (GEA) program, Annarenee is uprooted from Dayton, the only home she’s ever known, and relocated to San Diego with all of the other GEA families. Queen of her public school, Annarenee is just another zero at Superhero High, a school without any sports teams.
With the end of the program, her hero older brother now needs a college education, too, meaning the only way Annarenee is getting into Berkeley is on a scholarship. Her dream is slipping through her fingers, no matter how tightly she clings to it. To make matters worse, super hot superhero, Ren Gonzalez, is paying too much attention to her. The kind of attention that has Ren’s ex-girlfriend intent on making Annarenee’s life even more miserable.
But when heroes begin disappearing, zeros and heroes will be forced to team up in order to solve the mystery. If they don’t kill each other first.

MY THOUGHTS -
This was a cute fun read. It wasn't really quite as exciting as I would have thought, but still a good read. It is labeled as a YA but seems to read a little younger to me. Probably only because YA books seem pretty mature these days :-/
The characters were very likable, great personalities, and believable. Even the "mean girls" were great characters - the kind of girls you loved to hate!
A fun, nice little mystery to this that kept you guessing. Another reviewer described it as cutesy and I would have to agree even with the missing teens it just didn't ever seem very serious or earth shaking for some reason. I think a young teen girl would love this book! An adult, maybe not so much.
I voluntarily posted this review after receiving an audio copy of this book from Expresso book tours . Thank you!
Thanks for this wonderful feature and giveaway. Your review was lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to read this book since I first read about it. I love that it's not as "mature" as some other YA.
