Publisher's summary
“[A] rousing mash-up of military SF thriller and paranormal adventure...Scarlett is a resourceful and endearing heroine.” (Publishers Weekly)
What if you had a power you had to hide from everyone - until now? In this bold sci-fi action thriller, a secret training program at West Point is turning misfits into a new generation of heroes.
Scarlett Winter has always been an outsider, and not only because she’s a hardcore daredevil and born troublemaker - she has been hiding superhuman powers she doesn’t yet understand. Now she’s been recruited by a secret West Point unit for cadets with extraordinary abilities. Scarlett and her fellow students are learning to hone their skills, from telekinetic combat to running recon missions through strangers’ dreamscapes. At The Point, Scarlett discovers that she may be the most powerful cadet of all. With the power to control pure energy, she’s a human nuclear bomb - and she’s not sure she can control her powers much longer.
Even in this army of outsiders, Scarlett feels like a misfit all over again, but when a threat that endangers her fellow students arises from the school’s dark past, duty calls and Scarlett must make a choice between being herself and becoming something even greater: a hero.

Story
Every year, each village is required to send a young woman to the Empire's capital - her fate to be burned alive for the entertainment of the masses. For the last five years, one small village's tithe has been the same woman. Gilene's sacrifice protects all the other young women of her village, and her secret to staying alive lies with the magic only she possesses. But this year is different. Azarion, the Empire's most famous gladiator, has somehow seen through her illusion - and is set on blackmailing Gilene into using her abilities to help him escape his life of slavery.

She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

I live by one simple rule: no magic. Not too hard in the human world, plus it keeps me hidden from my evil sorcerer father. Safe. When I’m forced into using magic to save an innocent family, the jig is up. Or so I believe. Instead, I’m whisked off to an academy of magic in a place I never knew existed. The problem is - my power is completely raw, which means I don’t know my butt from a broomstick. At first, it's all wands, witches, and a new wardrobe...until I get caught in a restricted area with a dead body. Now, it's going to take more than magic to clear my name.

Story
In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. Gone. Except for the young. There are teens, but not one single adult. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no Internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents - unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers - that grow stronger by the day. It's a terrifying new world.

Story
Ben McKelvie believes he's moving up in the world when he and his fiancée buy a house in the cushy Washington, DC, suburb of Barcroft. Instead he's moving down - way down - thanks to Madeleine Roux, the crazy neighbor whose vermin-infested property is a permanent eyesore and looming hazard to public health. First Ben's fiancée leaves him; then his dog dies, apparently killed by a predator drawn into Barcroft by Madeleine's noxious menagerie. But the worst is yet to come for Ben.

Story
NYPD detective Paul Donner and his wife Elise were killed in a hold-up gone wrong. Fifty years later, Donner is back: revived courtesy of the Shift. Supposedly the unintended side-effect of a botched biological terrorist attack and carried by a ubiquitous retrovirus, the Shift jump-starts dead DNA and throws the life cycle into reverse, so reborns like Donner must cope with the fact that they are not only slowly youthing toward a new childhood, but have become New York's most hated minority.

Story
She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever. Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone. Her father was right. The monsters are real.

Fun hero book!
Great opening to what has the potential to become a great series. Your protagonist Scarlett is your typical rebel who discovers a unique power with potentially unlimited uses. Now she has to learn to harness this power while trying to adjust her rebel attitude as she is thrown into military school with other powered people at West Point. Add in love interests, jealous classmates, scheming CO’s and a villain with the ultimate power and you have a book well worth your credit/$ if you like the hero genre.

So very terrible
This is one of the worst books ever. The plot barely makes sense, the characters are all completely awful and unlikable people, and the end feels wildly unsatisfying. I kept waiting for the characters to grow as people but no- they just continue to be awful. “They made her a killer… she chose to be a hero” was a total load of Bologna.

No plot, just descriptions of abuse ...
I don't know why I'm surprised ... it's about a secret military organization at West Point "training" the young people with powers who are showing up in the population. I'm halfway thru the book and giving up ... there was absolutely nothing positive or hopeful ... so far, it's all descriptions of bullying and mental and emotional abuse ... the cadets and upperclassmen are preying on each other and the nominal officer in charge is apparently off duty after giving a breakfast pep talk and then leaving the cadets to be variously tortured and bullied. Halfway thru the book, the author is adding the warehouse where the failed cadets live out their thorazine-drugged lives; and the person going to the building is trying to convince herself that it's really not a bad place to be. Really, halfway thru and there's no plot yet ... there's no goal post for the story ... there's nothing but one dismal description of mental, emotional, or physical abuse after another. It's like there's no plot here, I've listened for hours, and I haven't found the story yet ... just a gerbil wheel of abusive events.
Also - I just discovered that Audible has changed it's refund/return policy! I tried to return this book, and I was denied. The new policy is that you can only return books you used a credit to buy ... you can't return books you paid money for!
