Book Description

April 14, 2010
You know him, but you can't remember his name. He is the one that is always there, in the background, all but invisible to those roaming the hallways. What if he had a secret? What if it was a secret that even he didn't know?

Test Davis has always been a blur to those around him. He's a shadow like a million other kids--not smart enough for the academic team, not beast enough for the football team, not extroverted enough for the drama crowd. In all things Test is just...not, which is why no one ever notices him.

But what happens when someone does notice him-- Nicole Paxton, a cheerleader, no less? What happens on the night that Test finds out there's nothing average about him and that a powerful gift has been hidden within, secretly waiting to be set free and alter his life forever? The question is, will that power save him and those he loves or tear them apart?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Misunderstood Superhero, August 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Just as teenager Test Davis delves into a blossoming romance with his long time crush, Nicole, he discovers that he has supernatural abilities. His powers are so intense that he struggles to control them, exploding his life into turmoil, violence and angst with the result that he becomes a fugitive running from the authorities while coming to terms with his powers. Will his romance with Nicole survive? Will he be able to come to terms with his powers and learn to control them? Will the world be able to accept him?

JM Pierce has written an engaging story told by two voices, by Test and by Nicole. Both characters are well fleshed. Test's frustrations and angst left me rooting for him. I felt Nicole's pain as she tried to decide whether to lead a fugitive's life with Test or give him up. The story is far from over and I look forward to the sequel.... Get writing, JM!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real page turner!, January 10, 2012
This review is from: Failing Test (Paperback)
Failing Test transports the reader back to a time of teenage angst and uncertainty. Test Davis struggles with his past while trying to find a way to cope with his place of belongingness during his high school years. During such a tumultuous time, Test not only struggles with who he is, but also with newly discovered "powers" that he lacks the ability to control. Throw in teenage love with all the twists and turns and this book has it all! A must read for those that love this genre!

5.0 out of 5 stars Failing Test a Hit for Me, January 9, 2012
This review is from: Failing Test (Paperback)
Failing Test had me hooked from the very beginning. Because the depths of the characters were developed so well, the emotions experienced by them seemed very real. Once I began to read the book, I found that I could not put it down. This is not normally the genre of book that I read, but I definitely can't wait to read the second in the series and hopefully, there will be more written.
