The gripping follow-up to Select, for fans of Richelle Mead and Kiera Cass
Fearing that she can never fully embrace her powers without endangering her loved ones, Julia Jaynes sets out on a cross country road trip in search of her mother and clues to her identity
After rejecting the cult-like influence of her father's family, Julia moves into a fancy hotel in downtown Austin. Here 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, a 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 that 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.
Select Few was better than its predecessor, and now, I am still left wanting more! Well written, with quite a bit of mystery, and those supernatural powers Julia and her family have - this worked really well!
