Description

Lily Atwood lives in what used to be Washington, D.C. Her father is one of the most powerful men in the world, having been a vital part of rebuilding and reuniting humanity after the war that killed over five billion people. Now he's running to be one of its leaders. But in the rediscovered peace in this new world, a force has risen. They call themselves The Revealed, an underground rebel organization that has been kidnapping 18-year-olds across the globe without explanation. No one knows why The Revealed is taking these teens, but it's clear something is different about these people. They can set fires with a snap of their fingers and create wind strong enough to throw over a tree with a flick of their wrist. They are unstoppable, and they have targeted 18-year-old Lily as their next victim. Lily is too close to breaking free from her father's shadow to let The Revealed ruin things, especially her developing relationship with the mysterious Kai Westerfield the son of her father's rival. Lily isn't about to lose her future just when it's starting to look promising. Not without a fight.

The Revealed was a sci fi thriller unlike any I have read so far. Lily and Kia have just begun their story together. I am sure there is much more to it. This book was fast paced and full of surprises. While I thought the Revealed change over was a bit quick for Lily, I was glad that the explanation was somewhat believable. I like stories that are based on enough truth to make you think that anything could be possible.

Wow! I really enjoyed this book. I loved the unique combination of a post apocolyptic world , supernatural abilities, first love and a strong girl finding herself on her own. This book was a page turner, I could not stop until the last apage. While I loved the conclusive ending, I cannot wait to follow our heroine asshecontinues to grow and become more self confident. Thank you for the chance to read this book. I will definately be recommending it to YA fans!
