Publisher's Summary:
Will she be the Society's salvation... or its downfall?
The black-ops government agency called Sigma broke Justin Delgado, trained his psionic talent, and turned him into a killer. Then he escaped and joined the Society, an underground resistance movement of psions determined to use their talents to bring Sigma down. Competent, cold, and cruelly efficient, he's the best operative the Society has, a legend among the psions who fight a shadow war against an enemy that owns the courts, the press, and the police. Feared even by his own teammates, hunted by the government, and too damaged to feel anything but clinical rage, he is utterly alone - until he meets Rowan.
When Rowan Price stumbles across Delgado's team in an abandoned house, he is assigned to make contact with her, bring her in, and keep her alive - because Rowan is one of the most powerful psychics the resistance has ever encountered. If the government gets its hands on her, she could very well mean the downfall of the resistance, because nobody, not even Rowan, is quite sure how far her talents extend.
The Society will welcome Rowan, if she can stay alive long enough to join them. Unfortunately, there's a traitor buried in the ranks. If the Society goes down, Rowan is at risk. God alone knows what Delgado will do to keep her safe, because Rowan is fast becoming the only thing in the world he cares about...
Lilith Saintcrow lives in Vancouver, Washington with her two children and assorted other strays. She has been writing since she was nine-years-old. Find her on the web at lilithsaintcrow.com.
Members Reviews:
An Awesome Listen
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher and found it very entertaining. This is the first book in this series, with its interesting characters and suspenseful plot, I'll be listening to the next book. It's like riding a rollercoaster following Rowen's voyage into her new life along with her mentor Delgado. An exciting tale to listen to while travelling.
Huge cliffhanger
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The first half of the book where the characters are being developed felt a little slow. That part could've been made more crisp and fast. And certain phrases are repeated multiple times, which was kind of annoying. The use of weird words that needed me run to urban dictionary was off putting. And the romance felt forced.
Could you see The Society being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
This book ended with a huge cliffhanger, something that tv producers love. So yea, I can see this turning into a tv series.
Any additional comments?
I received a free copy of this book from the author / narrator / publisher and I'm leaving an unbiased review.
Warning...this is a cliffhanger!
Although this book has many good key elements for a great paranormal series I was a little let down. The first half; although had good character development and gave a good understanding of her world were people with psychic abilities are hunted by a special branch of the government called Sigma, it was all done at a slow pace.
