Ava has been recruited from Juvie to a "government" agency that trains them to be assassins. A drug gives them temporary super human powers to complete their kills. Something feels off to Ava as she trains with her team. Unease that those in charge are not being completely honest with her. Mystery, action, nice twisty's made this an enjoyable read. Ready for book 2. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from Netgalley.

I thought I would love this book, but I simply didn't. The summary promised great things but the story itself wasn't that. There wasn't a lot about the world building and the plot didn't really start kicking in until nearly 50%. I found the whole book too slow.

The main character, Ava, was supposed to be ""special"" but I just couldn't like her. She was a bit naive. Sometimes it seems she thought she was better than everyone else. And her actions contrasted with her thoughts.

And the thing I disliked the most, the way the girls were always lusting after every boy they saw. Poof, a new guy introduced? He's beautiful. Everyone wants him. Also why don't they question the organization they're in? Training teens to kill people--and they don't even know why they're killing them--doesn't sound really trustworthy.

I think I read too much of this genre for me to really appreciate this book, but it could be the book for you.

This book was a refreshing addition to my virtual bookshelf full of dystopian books. It was a fast-paced and addictive read, with descriptions of a world so foreign from our own that it thrilled me to imagine and visualize it. All of the characters are special in their own way and work seamlessly together to create an unique and exciting reading experience.

I can't wait to read the next book in this series!

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Unfortunately, I didn’t finish it. Around 16% into the book I got too irritated, everything was so unrealistic. The people, their behavior.... I was bored. Maybe younger readers will enjoy it more.

I liked Isan. Actually... one of the bad comment i would habe to say is that it felt like the book was too short, there is so many things that could have been explained,l, like ava’s memory loss, her background, the relashionship between the characters are incomplete, i am left with so many questions... and I get that there will most definitly be a sequel, but the authors could have put « a bit more meat on the bone ».... haha. Other than that, captivating book that made me think of the maze runner...

I received this novel from net galley and the publisher for an honest review. Thank you!!

This book was amazing!! I could not put it down!! There were several plot twists and the author kept me in such suspense. The story is written in first person point of view. Ava is part of ISAN, which stands for International Sensory Assassin Network. She was in foster care, then went to juvie, and then recruited by ISAN, like a get out of jail card. She and others have been training to handle missions designated by ISAN, thinking they are hunting and killing criminals. Ava and others are injected with Helix, an experimental serum that heightens there senses and abilities. Ava is kidnapped by a rogue group where she meets Rhett, who claims they have a history. But Ava has never met him before. How can he know so much about her? Rhett does everything he can to get Ava to remember, but she cannot and believes she made herself forget. Rhett tells her memories can be forgotten, but the emotions are always there. Ava begins to care for Rhett and the others as she learns more about what they do. Ava is torn between two worlds and does not know what side she is on. Ava needs to decide who to trust before it is too late. I cannot wait to read the next novel in the series!!
