Five Minutes Longer by Victoria Sue
5.0
4.5 Stars ~ Since having recently discovered the writing of Victoria Sue and already enjoying one of her series, when I saw 'Five Minutes Longer' and read the blurb, I knew it was a book for me. I love urban fantasy stories with strong paranormal elements, particularly as I get to enjoy the world building the author does. In the case of this book I was fascinated from the very beginning.
Enhanced is a genetic condition, not a disease that can be caught, although scientists differ on their theories. It usually appears in young men around adolescence with absolutely no warning. They wake up one morning and they have the jagged lightning bolt scar under their left eye and they have psychic and physical abilities not normal to humans, or regulars as the enhanced call them. Most families of these children turn them over to the state to take care of not wanting a freak in their family, and regulars as a whole view them as monsters.
Finn's rejection letter from the FBI hits him hard as it's the only thing he has worked so hard for these past ten years. Imagine his surprise when he gets a call saying there has been a mistake and for him to report to a field office in Florida. Once he realizes he is to be part of an enhanced/human team, Finn knows very well these guys don't want him and will try to get him kicked out quickly. He does his best and is still there after five days having surprised a few of his teammates. Unfortunately, due to a political situation, the FBI has to announce this new team and Finn is stuck with Talon, Gael, Vance, Sawyer, and Eli, and they with him.
