Blackout by Robison Wells
I enjoyed Blackout and will definitely be listing to the sequel. I think the power-bestowing virus idea plays out a little differently here, making it feel like a new-ish idea. Each power is accompanied by negative side-effects, and the pairing and severity of each varies from person to person. The disappearing girl has bad eyesight. The guy who controls minds gets splitting headaches.
I'm interested to see who the 'terrorits' and/or 'rebels' are. Who is the mastermind behind it all? Who is really the bad guy? I was a little disappointed that more clues weren't given on this in the 1st book. Seemed like a slightly cheap play to get me to come back for the 2nd....but I didn't hate it too much.
