Also, several chapters are narrated from the point of view of Jake who you find out early on has psychokinesis too. Jake and Teagan have both been brought up very differently, with Jake having hidden his power, rarely using it, whilst Teagan is forced to work for the government or risk being locked up and tested on. Because of this, you would expect Teagan to be the more merciless character, however, the exact opposite is the case. Instead, Jake comes across as cold-hearted and difficult to like, at times leaving me speechless due to the lengths he will go to in order to find out about his origins. He is a sharp contrast to Teagan, but, although I found him unlikeable, I don't think the book would have been as good without him.
Originally, I was worried that by having two narrators some of the suspense of the story would be lost as it seemed quite easy to fill in the blanks once you are introduced to Jake. The author completely surprised me however with the amount number of twists that he managed to incorporate, leaving me shocked on numerous occasions. Although in a sense you are getting both sides of the story, there is a blurring in the middle as you try to work out how Teagan and Jake are linked. Upon discovering their commonality you will be left astonished. Yet, the suspense does not end there as the book ends on a cliff hanger that comes from out of nowhere. The author has paved the way for a sequel and within the space of a few pages ensures that you will be picking up their next book. Whether you are a fan of superhero books, thrillers, action-packed novels or not, this book will not disappoint.
Another witty thriller that I would recommend is [[Die Twice (David Trevellyan) by Andrew Grant]].
