Synopsis: Willow is just your average sixteen-year-old girl. Okay, maybe not so average. She can heal animals. For her own safety, her veterinarian parents have made her promise not to use her powers. But sometimes her compassion just takes over, and she can't help ... well ... helping.

Willow is a Droit, but hides her Droitism because people like her are feared and hated by those without special abilities. Two of Willow's schoolmates, rumored to be Droits, have simultaneously disappeared.

When Willow's non-Droit friend, Rain, is targeted, Willow wonders whether she should get involved--even if that means putting herself in the line of fire.

A mysterious new friend, Trae, just might be the key to unlock her courage.

In the end, she has a choice: she can deny who she is or declare her ability to heal, but either way, her life will never be the same again.

Review: This book gave me all the superhero wants and desires I've had since my last superhero book. The writing was superb, the voice was so authentic, and the world building was really good too.

My only issue is that the pacing was too fast for me in some areas and I felt really sick seeing the animal abuse. Like I love animals and it really hurt. I don't fault the book for it because it needed to drive a point home, but damn it hurt.

Verdict: The superhero we all need when we have sick animals.
