The Point by John Dixon
4.0
Scarlett Winter is a young woman who lives life on the edge. When she is forced to attend West Point she doesn't know how she will survive but her alternative is prison, so she vows to do her best. A few weeks in though she hits her breaking point and is quickly whisked away to The Point, a secret underground school on the grounds of West Point that trains Posthumans who have special gifts.
Here she is to learn how to not only control her gift but to push it further making her stronger and more useful to the powers that be. Of course Scarlett struggles with this until her dreams start to talk to her. Helping her, teaching her.
While Scarlett attends school the outside world is being tormented by a Posthuman named Jagger. Jagger has the ability to charm anyone into doing his bidding. He also seems to be learning how to take on other peoples gifts.
The Point is charged with stopping Jagger but Jagger has skills that render most people useless. Can Scarlett learn enough to conquer Jagger but still remain intact?
This was a pretty good story. While some of it was predictable some of it was also surprising. I could see this being turned into a series or even a movie. It definitely has potential.
