Praise for SELECT FEW

“...mixing mystery with science fiction with a heaping dose of romance." ―Kirkus Reviews

"...a page-turning adventure." ―School Library Connection

After rejecting the cult-like influence of her father's family, Julia moves into a fancy hotel in downtown Austin. But she finds herself alone except for her boyfriend, John--and her fears. Once again she's suppressing her abilities, afraid her family will come for John when they find out he's been developing abilities of his own in her presence. The FBI is also keeping a close eye on Julia hoping she can lead them to her father, Novak, as he's wanted for questioning in his former assistant's death.

With tensions high, Julia and John agree to go separate ways for the summer, paving the way for Julia to reunite with Angus, fellow outcast. Together they set out on a road trip to California to find Julia's mom and a way into Novak's secret underground world. Along the way Julia will learn the Puri perhaps aren't the only humans evolving into something different. . . and that maybe she's the leader her people have needed all along.

My Review

Select Few is the sequel to Select, a story about a special species of Humans who have a long and tormenting history, forcing the clan to move to protect themselves from the eye of society. However with Julia's strong courage and drive to have a normal life, she leaves to find a life of her own....hopefully with the love of her life, John.

As Julia tries to suppress her abilities, she finds it difficult to handle it's effects. Still dealing with being questioned by the FBI, she learns about her mother, and decides to find her on her journey to California where her and John will meet to start their new life.

This leads to an adventure she never anticipated, with the clan hovering in the shadows without her knowledge. Even if she thought she was free, she never really will be.

This is a fast story that I fell in love with from the very beginning with Select. I couldn't put it down. Little clues come slowly together to reveal the secrets Julia's father has been hiding from her and the younger generation. All the characters have a huge impact to the story, and it's easy to fall into deep to discover more about their personalities. I loved the storyline, exactly what I enjoy to escape into another world. It's a read I highly recommend!!
