If I thought I knew what was waiting for me, I could guess again. We enter twists and turns and what an amazing ride it was.

She unintentionally draw attention to her family and they plan to leave except she is stopped by Drew and his mom who says that they’re safe and no one thinks that anyone involved is defective.

The action starts when Allira helps two boys who were in a car accident. Allira and her family – her dad and brother- try very hard to remain inconspicuous and jump at the first sign of trouble. I was a bit shocked to find out that he was barely two years younger than her. I got a bit annoyed that she treated her brother like he was a baby. As Allira points out, it’s not like normal humans can harm you with guns, knives and so on.Īllira Daniels is a seventeen year old teenager with nothing else on her mind except protecting her brother, Shilah. Naturally, the people who put forth this definition in the book were the people who weren’t defective. A defective is something who can supposedly destroy the world with a simple thought. A normal human would be someone who doesn’t have any abilities and is not a ‘danger’ to society. The Institute follows the wide barrier between the defective and the ‘normal’. I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Do they stay, or do they flee again? Will they be coming for her? Will her whole family come under investigation? Will they discover Shilah and his ability to predict the future?Īre you Defective? The Institute is coming for you. She’s not Defective, but what seventeen-year-old girl has the ability to pull two teenage boys away from a fiery rubble and walk away without a scratch? It would definitely be seen as suspicious.Īllira and her family need to make decisions. By doing so, she may have just caught the eye of the Institute. When Allira stumbles across a car crash involving two of her school classmates, she ignores all of her father’s warnings of laying low and not drawing attention to herself. Protecting Shilah from that fate is their number one priority.

To Allira and the rest of her family, the Institute seems more like a prison than the safe-haven they promote themselves to be. Defectives are dangerous, they possess abilities that no human should be able to. They claim to protect Defectives, but it’s human nature to fear the unknown. The source of your fear? The Institute.Īllira Daniels will do anything to keep her Defective brother safe from the Institute.
