Publisher Description
They call their abilities Talents, and that’s what they call themselves as well. Talents are people born with supernatural powers, feared by the population at large. Possession of an “unregistered ability” has become illegal, and those who are discovered are forcibly removed to government-run research facilities. They do not return.
And so the Talents try, as best they can, to keep their abilities secret–some more successfully than others. For some, keeping that secret begins to define who they are. That’s where Hush Money begins…
Be normal, invisible. Don’t get close to anyone. Those are the rules to live by for seventeen-year-old Joss. She spent years as an outsider, hoping to hide what she is, until the new girl, Kat, decides she’s friend material. Kat doesn’t realize her mistake when she stands up for Joss against Marco, a guy who’s been giving Joss a hard time since freshman year. Joss is horrified when these heroics lead to the reveal of Kat’s Talent. Now she has an unasked-for best friend, who is the victim of an extortion plot by the school bully, who used to like Joss. And if all that weren’t complicated enough, Dylan, Joss’s long-time crush, is finally starting to talk to her. But as Marco’s best friend, can Dylan be trusted at all? Can Joss keep her secret and still save her friend? And what’s more important, staying safe or doing what’s right?

Good read
I really enjoyed this book. I wish it had been longer! Can't wait for the sequel!
Great fun :)
Great heroine. She feels real. Throughout the whole story she is terrified and doesn't always do the right thing but when it counts she is strong and capable at protecting herself, her family and her friends. Really loved the scene where all the Talents are revealed, I didn't think the were going to be that many. My only criticisms are that I wish it were a bit longer. The ending came very fast after the climax and it felt abrupt. Wish it could have left us with a teaser about where the story is going next. Hopefully the next installment comes along soon, I am looking forward to it!
