Ruby can't look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government's attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. With them is a prisoner: Clancy Gray, son of the president, and one of the few people Ruby has encountered with abilities like hers. Only Ruby has any power over him, and just one slip could lead to Clancy wreaking havoc on their minds.

They are armed only with a volatile secret: proof of a government conspiracy to cover up the real cause of IAAN, the disease that has killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others like her with powers the government will kill to keep contained. But internal strife may destroy their only chance to free the "rehabilitation camps" housing thousands of other Psi kids.

Meanwhile, reunited with Liam, the boy she would-and did-sacrifice everything for to keep alive, Ruby must face the painful repercussions of having tampered with his memories of her. She turns to Cole, his older brother, to provide the intense training she knows she will need to take down Gray and the government. But Cole has demons of his own, and one fatal mistake may be the spark that sets the world on fire.

I've had so much going on that I am behind on reading these. I will probably catch up next month to be honest.

What was the star rating you gave it? 5 Stars

What did you think of the characters? I loved the characters. I felt like they were complex and we'll developed. I especially loved Ruby and the way her character developed as the series went on.

What did you think of the story? I found the story interesting, yes, similar story lines have come and gone but I enjoy this genre so I thought it was great. I loved how it made the point not to be afraid of someone because they are different.
Did you enjoy it? If so, why? If not, why? Yes, very much!! Again, I loved the characters and the story. All the books over along at a good pace and kept me interested.

Would you recommend this to others? I would highly recommend this series.

I absolutely loved this book. It's was a fantastic end to the series. It broke my heart in so many ways but it was sooo good. Ruby has come such a long way and matured so much as a person through out the series. She's really come into her own and become comfortable in her own skin. There is so much I want to say but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't finished.
5 Stars! Highly recommend the whole series!
