Synopsis
Tainted water for the good of the people. Fluoride and vitamins to sustain the health of the human race. Added ingredients to extend and elevate the quality of life. All good things, right?Wrong.
Thia Kelly has been changed by the TS901 chemical in the world’s water supply. Now, forced into hiding with the other inflicted outcasts, she struggles to survive as her powers emerge.
Evan Daniels hunted for others like himself, and finding Thia suddenly brought meaning back into his life. Love blossomed between the strange couple while they searched for a way to reverse the effects. Unfortunately, the Government had something else in mind.
Super-soldier creation on a mass scale was their end goal, and thanks to an unfortunate family tie, Evan became Patient #1.
Good-guy? Bad-guy? The world isn’t sure, but Thia is left with only one choice––save the ass of the world’s first Anomaly who just happens to be her boyfriend.

Review
From the very beginning of this book, you are thrown into a heavily tense and brewing war between Naries(Ordinary) and Malies(Anomalies). Thia starts her days angry, in pain, and missing her boyfriend. A boyfriend that is considered dangerous and a threat by being Patient One. While vicious attacks are blamed on him, she knows the full story. That he was just a boy that wanted to make his father proud. Except, in doing so, he left her and their people and his image now puts everyone at risk. Still, Thia is seen as relatively normal on the outside and is a bridge of communication between both sides. Struggling with her own inner demons about her ability, she tries to bring some semblance of comfort and normality to the people she loves. One thing clear about Thia is that she has a big heart and discovers what power this gives her.
This book is dizzying, surprising, action-packed and literally will make you want to run around afterwards. It has an X-men vibe but is also so gritty and real. Even the occasional crude humor and camaraderie between the characters will make this book fly by. You’ll understand that pun later…
The pace of the book will encourage you to read faster and I barely kept up with everything happening. This was written by two authors so, at times, can get a bit chaotic. I actually enjoyed this style of writing, as it really exhibited the uncharacteristic writing I enjoy. Thia’s goal in the beginning is to rescue her boyfriend(ish) Evan and through the help of some powerful Malies, they spark a revolution. I loved every distinct character in this book. Especially Gigi!! What was very clear was how incredibly supportive they all are of each other and their differences. It had a beautiful underlying story amongst all the action. Even their flaws are accepted, the choices they make, and who they have become to survive is a strength. By the end, they band together and seem like a family by the end. They are determined to save people and, in doing so, show their true heroic colors.
A wonderful start to a series! I eagerly await the next book.
