BOOK BLURB

Kendle’s job is on the line every time she rescues a Wild teen. But Wilds, with their uncontrolled psychic abilities, need her help. They need the chronically underfunded Warehouse, the only school available for Wilds. But accepting a teen with potentially dangerous abilities puts her at odds with her boss; refusing means the teen faces life institutionalized, sedated, and under restraint.

Stephen, the new telepathy teacher, is a Bred. His wealthy parents paid for his perfect genetic code. He’s not used to the Warehouse’s long hours, to students who float beds through walls during nightmares, or send fishbowls through windows-not to mention the food sucks. The only bright spot is the fascinating Wild teacher in the next room who plays amazing cello or guitar music late at night.

Kendle doesn’t think Stephen belongs at the Warehouse, but when he helps save her and her students from a violent mob, she wonders if she was wrong…and if a Bred like Stephen might fall for a Wild like her. But Kendle has little time for romance. As society ramps up its hatred of Wilds and the Warehouse’s resources stretch desperately thin, Kendle must find a way to keep the director from expelling the most gifted students as dangers to the school.

REVIEW

The concept of an academy for genetically gifted teens reminded me a lot of X-Men, so it’s no surprise that I loved this book. The book explores a society in which people who have been genetically altered to have desirable traits and powers (Breds) verses people spontaneously born with genetic powers (Wilds).

Kendle is such a likeable character and I enjoyed learning about the world through her eyes. As a Wild herself she has an innate desire to protect Wild teens, even if that puts her teaching position at risk. The other teachers were all well developed characters, and the romance between Kendle and Stephen was great. I only wish there were more books–I want to know what happens next!
