Theodora Hale was never the most popular kid, or the prettiest, or the smartest. Basically, she was that stupid little twig that’s not good at anything.
Every day, she would be terrorized (surprising, right?), especially by golden boy, Alexander Kane. Eventually, she leaves town because of a terrible accident that left her traumatized. Or so they thought.
Actually, she joins the STAR: System of Trained Anomaly Recon. Yup, she becomes one of those crazy cool, kick butt spies that travel the world on secret missions to rid the world of bad guys with the help of her awesome powers. Life is great for Theo.
Then she gets assigned a ‘special’ mission. Theodora has to go back to her hometown and eliminate, Alexander Kane. But first, she plans to get revenge on her old tormentors and rip their perfect lives to shreds. Piece of cake, right? Wrong, this mission is starting to look like mission impossible. Make that Mission ABSOLUTELY Impossible.
