False Memory by Dan Krokos

4.0

Very cool futuristic thriller. Reminded me a bit of Divergent (there are weapons training scenes ala Dauntless initiation) and other dystopians, but this one is set in Cleveland in only the very near future, so that was cool. And the genetically engineered power these teens have is pretty awesome: the ability to cause fear by emitting psychic energy from their brains! Good local scenery, action, camaraderie among teammates despite the main character Miranda's amnesia.

First book in a trilogy, and it was nominated for the Buckeye Children's and Teen Book Award.
