This book was actually suggested by my twin, Jordan at My Flourishing Retrospect. She was looking at
books and suggested that I try this one out because it looked similar to one of
my own that I am currently writing. As
always, I will put the links down in the description if you are interested in
reading this book after reading this review.

Block out pain.
She'll deal with anything. The brutal physical demands. The emotional toll. Whatever it takes to reach her objective.
Block out friendship.
With only one year left in the program, though, seventeen-year-old Talia is suddenly finding it harder than ever to ignore the rest of her life.
Block out love.
Even worse, she can't seem to turn off her psychic connection to her first love...or quit thinking about her fascinating new teammate.
Feel only vengeance.
Ian Crane. The man who destroyed Talia's life. The one she's determined to eradicate.
Now focus.
It's time to kill.
My Thoughts:
This book was my favorite series ever. (But I’m probably going to say that about
every book I have ever read). The
characters are so life like that I almost forgot I was reading a book. There were times when I would start reading
and all I would see is a movie going in my head. I would literally be reading for hours and
not even realize how much time had passed.
Talia has one of those personalities that is very easy to relate to, as
well as the other characters that she interacts with. One of the main things I like about Talia is
the fact that she is willing to speak her mind, even though she can read the
thoughts of others. Sophie Davis did an
amazing job with this book. The ups and
downs of the story and the climax made my eyes widen in shock and my mouth drop
to the floor several times.
I didn’t want to put the book down until the very last
page. The characters in the story had a strong background. It had so much detail I could envision
everything that was happening, her surroundings, and her emotions. Throughout the entire story, I almost felt as
if I was Talia, which is another reason why I loved this book.

For now, thank you guys so much for reading this, I hope you enjoyed this review/suggestion and I will see you guys next time.
