In the world of the Talent Chronicles, kids with supernatural abilities, Talents, are taken away to government-run research facilities from which they do not return. In this sequel to
Hush Money
, Joss finds herself mired deep in "he likes me, he likes me not" territory as Dylan wonders how he could possibly impress a girl who can toss dumpsters around with her brain.
While they've been dancing awkwardly around their feelings for each other, the government's undercover agent has been turning in more Talents than ever, creating the perfect climate of fear for Marco to draw scared Talents to his cause.
Marco's plotting revenge against Dylan, the best friend who betrayed him, and Joss, the girl they fought over. He's the one behind the crime wave that's threatening Fairview's businesses, including Joss's family's store, and drawing even more government attention in their direction.
As Joss and Dylan explore their feelings for each other and begin to discover how much they have in common, they have a decision to make. Is it worth risking each other and their freedom to play the heroes and stand up for what's right?
Higher stakes, bigger action, new superpowers, more romance and surprises await in this second volume of the
Talent Chronicles
series. Recommended for teens and older due to strong language and violent content.
