"We need your help." "With what?" "We want to go public." "You mean, have the Mentes known to the human race?" She nodded solemnly and I swear I could tell the words about to escape her mouth before she even spoke, but I had to ask a question, "Why do you need me?" "We need you as the face of this." "What do you mean?" "Like, show your powers to the world. Catch robbers, save people from murderers, solve crimes, anything to show off your powers and that we are good." "So, you want me to play hero?" "That's exactly what we want." When Sam gets kicked out of her home for being able to control the elements life could not have taken a bigger turn. She almost immediately gets involved with an entire group of people the same as her, Mentes. And when they ask her to be the face of their new revolution she can't help but say yes. Yet all throughout this she has to discover the ins and outs of college while making memories with friends without showing them her powers, well all her friends except one. And through all this she even gets her own 'mortal enemy' as the world would like to put it, or maybe, just maybe, the only person that understands her. This isn't your classic superhero and supervillain book, the lines are blurred and it will keep you guessing until the last moment while tearing your heart out at the same time.

"I LOVED IT" - Clumsy_weirdo_353 "So your sister likes to get drunk and beat up guys twice her size," Taylor said, her eyes closed. "Yup." A beat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." Another slice of silence. "So you really can fight," she said. "Yup." A single heartbeat. "So you can teleport." "Yup." "Cool. Cool, cool, cool." Taylor squinted at him, his outward calm mystifying. "You're taking this a lot better than I imagined," she said. He shrugged, but like a bomb, he exploded. "Holy- You can teleport!" Taylor nodded once with the inevitable. "Yeah, that was more like what I was expecting." Taylor's life has been thrown into tailspin. Since discovering she could teleport six months ago she's been trying to juggle being a high school student by day, and a vigilante by night with failing results. Unable to stay awake in classes from her late nights, her grades are dropping fast, and to top it off her exhaustion has she left friendless. When saving late night employees from a burning building puts Taylor in the path of a dangerous criminal, she ends up in an altercation that forces her to realize she needs help. Help comes from two unlikely people: Clint and Dominic who bring their own complications. As the problems keep building, Taylor is quickly learning that having an ability doesn't mean she knows how to protect the city, let alone herself. "It was amazing!!! And really realistic for a superhero book, you even found an explanation for why she has her powers. It also shows that even though she has powers she still is human" - gui_iris "OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK WITH ALL MY HEART" - _cooloreo_ "I laughed, I cried, I screamed out in frustration, but that's what makes this book so amazing, along with the amazing character growth and plot twists that still got me reeling to this day 😂" - Theaxbank "This is a delightful action packed read that'll keep you at the edge of your seat. Would recommend." Miathesmall
