It is difficult to accept that Magnolia is tortured throughout her young life by her own family with bullets, acid, 10-foot deep burial, and even beheadings--and survives it all without a scar. It is also a challenge to believe all the different supernatural powers that have evolved in her development as a human being. Further, it is a challenge to believe that her anatomy is more than human and involves an "other" component that even she has difficulty defining. Yet, as incredulous as her fictional makeup may be, the story fascinates the reader and compels each page to be turned, one after the other.
After escaping the brutality inflicted upon her by her family, a Magnolia that has yet to learn what it means to trust and support--or to be supported and trusted by--any other human being, is recruited by the Network, a very secret organization, to provide inside information that will help the agency to eliminate the threat her family poses to the nation and world. Given the horrendous treatment afforded Magnolia in her younger years, and appreciating the support offered by Thirteen, the Network's recruiter, she agrees to help the team bring down her family. Unfortunately, the team doesn't trust her--and she doesn't trust them. She breaks one's hand upon meeting him as he tries to attack her because of whom she is; she recognizes the undiscovered empathic powers of a female team meber--and two other females strongly oppose her presence. Job and Shane do not trust her. Beautiful Magnolia and gorgeous Theo have an inexplicable attraction to each other, though both resist the other as Theo doesn't trust her, and Magnolia distrusts the seemingly unnatural attraction. However strong the distrust, all must force themselves to depend upon every team member to achieve victory in their fight against the Belch family.
New aspects to supernatural powers evolve throughout the book, throughout Magnolia's life. There are hints that there is more to the story, and there must be a sequel in the works. With much supernatural activity, horror and victory, the story hints at romance and provides those seeking female heroines a new character with which to feed imagination. The characters and supernatural powers would not interest readers lacking in imagination; however, for those who appreciate a good fictional tale of fantasy, this book easily meets that appreciation.

An outstanding job on her first (hopefully of many) book
