About twenty percent of the population has Talents, though hers are uniquely powerful.

It's the story of Talia, who in a post-nuclear world has been born with 'Talents' like Jedi-ish mind control over others, reading their thoughts, manipulating their feelings and as well as telekinesis. It's got to have great characters with lots of charisma, a hot guy and a tight plot. Sometimes I just need a book that will be a fun, quick read. If James Bond and Sookie Stackhouse had a love child with a yearning for vengeance, her story would be TALENTED: an adventure about powerful teenagers who aren't afraid to embrace their fears and fight for what they believe in.I just finished reading Talented, the first book in the ridiculously addictive series by Sophie Davis. And even after being molded in to a weapon of war, she'll still have to find the strength it takes to pull the trigger.

She must regain the single-minded determination that has brought her this far, or it may cost Talia her life when she finally faces Crane. But Talia can't afford to have the feelings and distractions of a normal teenage girl, when her life is far from normal. Her greatest asset may also be her undoing while a formidable weapon in the field, Talia's talents prevent her from both shutting off the mental connection she shares with her questionable boyfriend and blocking out the thoughts of a beguiling fellow recruit. Now there is only one obstacle standing between her and the retribution she craves. At sixteen, Talia is poised to graduate from the McDonough School for the Talented, where she learned to control her abilities. Luckily, Talia was born with a gift- the ability to read and influence the minds of others. Offered a choice between accepting their fate and exacting revenge, Talia trains to become one of the country's deadliest assassins in order to kill the man responsible for their deaths: Ian Crane. When Talia Lyons was just a child, her parents were murdered before her eyes.
