Publisher Description
A childless couple, Sarah and Carl Hartley, become witnesses to a car accident along Pilgrims Highway. As the baby girl who they pulled out from the burning car grows up, they learn that little Charlene 'Charlie' Hartley is more special than they expected. From a very young age, Charlie developed a surprising ability to move items without touch.
Seventeen years later, Charlie was already on her way to Harvard when she encounters an incident forcing her to use her hidden telekinetic powers. A new world of possibilities opens for Charlie as she is invited to become part of a special team of operatives composed of superhuman young adults like her. When the truth of her parentage is revealed, and the discovery that a young girl who resembled her is part of the institute for superhumans known as A.N.D.R.E.I., Charlie is tempted with the chance to be reunited with her biological sister.
But within the secure walls of A.N.D.R.E.I, things aren’t all what they seem. And while she struggles to control her talent, a series of events lead Charlie to suspect the true motives of the government institution. The more she searches for her sister, the more dangerous it becomes. Can she uncover the mystery behind A.N.D.R.E.I., before it’s too late?

The story was okay. It was intriguing. I agree with the other reviewers on the dialog--it seemed underwhelming and like a chore to read some of it. Charlie's parents calling her Princess all the time was sickening. The fact that Charlie is COLLEGE aged throws the book off for me. Charlie "feels" to me like she's high school aged based on the writing and themes throughout.
A good book to read
The book was interesting and eye catching to read. I got hooked on trying to read all the way to the end. I like how there are parts that relate to actual reality in life, places and things. Also, every now and then there were only a few grammar corrections that needed to made that caught my eye. But, it will only bother you, if you are a stickler about grammar like me. The descriptive fight scenes were intense and I liked them so much. My fave character is indeed, Charlie and her role to try to save everyone and be reunited with Jeanne (her twin) again. Furthermore, Jeanne's my second favorite character, hopefully to red more about her and everyone else. I'm definitely going to finish this series!!! 😊

Great read with a fun group of characters and a interesting paranormal reading. Time for my hot popcorn and plenty of time with my iPad book. Looking forward to the next book. KSW
