These Precious Scars by Emily Suvada

These Precious Scars (Mortal Coil, #0.5)

by Emily Suvada

Jun Bei, Cole, Anna, Leoben, Ziana. Five children with extraordinary potential.

They don't get many visitors at the remote laboratory where they live under the eye of legendary geneticist, Lachlan Agatta. The man and woman who arrive are nothing like the others.

They're from Cartaxus and offer the children something rare and unfathomable: escape.

But freedom means different things to the five children. For one of them, getting want they want may mean betraying everyone else.

A decent enough introduction to the series, but it's one of those novella's that sort of skirt around any world-building so you don't really get what's going on. I suppose it's meant to entice you into seeking out the first full-length novel, but it's just sort of frustrating if, like me, you are trying to gauge if this is a series you want to check out.
