If you enjoyed the post apocalyptic Divergent but wanted more spice then this book is for you. Wren (Tris) is one of the Modified and her power is telepathy. She's also been trained in combat and has much better than average shooting skills. She has been hiding her power on her ranch with her Uncle for over 20 years until one day her skills bring the unwanted attention of Command, the ruling class of "Primes" or unmodified people. I can't expand on more of the plot without giving away too much.
Dani Francis holds no punches and presents the FMC's flaws and vices out the gate. Wren's impulsive and wreckless nature drives the plot at the beginning but she keeps getting herself into trouble throughout, which was good writing on Francis' part because I was losing interest at Wren's inability to realize she is responsible for the results of her actions. There are plenty of plot twists to keep the reader interested and distracted from the FMC's immaturity, especially when Wren meets her Wolf (Four).
This is definitely the start of a series and the book ends with a HFN. Find the trigger and content warnings as many hard topics and scenarios are presented in the story, like death of a parent figure and mental illness.
