Clio Kaid may be 17 and just beginning the last summer before her senior year, but her life is anything but typical.
She’s just discovered she was genetically altered before birth and is now headed to a top-secret Army campus to explore the surprising results of the experiment.
Follow Clio and the other teens as they develop fantastic super-abilities, forge new friendships, and find love as they search for answers.
Excerpt…
“Try again and I’ll tell you if it’s working,” Jack suggested.“Yeah,” Garrett rocked up and down on the balls of his feet, anxious to see the special skill Jack had told him about.
Miranda and I looked at each other, took a deep breath, and focused on disappearing. Again, I saw and felt nothing, but knew we’d done it by Garrett’s amazed, “Whoooaaa.”
He reached one long arm toward what apparently looked to him like open space, and I had to take a quick step back before his paw landed right on my chest.
“Watch it,” I complained, dropping the mind-chant and re-entering the visible world. Miranda laughed her way back beside me, a sound I was overwhelmingly glad to hear after the past two stormy days.
“You want to take a practice run, too?” Jack asked, turning to Bliss.
She nodded demurely, not thrilled about putting on a show, but also wanting to make sure she’d be able to perform on command if she had to.
And if Miranda and I thought we’d impressed him, Bliss’s transformation totally blew Garrett’s mind. “I think I’m…stupid-fied.”

Hi all! I grew up in Maine, graduated from Loyola University New Orleans, currently reside in New Jersey, and consider all of them home. When I’m not working on the SOLID series, I’m chatting about FoodFic on my blog: http://bookfare.blogspot.com. Stop by and let me know what you’re reading and what they’re eating!
This sounds good, Kristin! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
