Chosen at random from my extensive library of free Kindle e-books I've acquired over the years, this one looked to be an interesting YA stand-alone. Three teens suddenly find themselves with super powers and an evil secret organization bearing down on them—sounds like some campy fun, right?

Overall, I can't really recommend anyone purchase this book. While not technically bad in the sense of typos, grammar, or problematic content, it suffers from unlikable characters, cheesy dialog, poor research, and a plot I've seen done better dozens of times. That said, the story was short, took me only about 4 hours to read, and it's available for free with Kindle Unlimited, so I guess this is something quick and easy to breeze through if you're looking for that sort of thing. I often recommend these types of books as case studies or inspiration joggers, which I guess I can do again. I think I just felt a bit let down that, despite the title, this one didn't give me anything special.
