X-Men meets The Godfather; in which an invisible girl has to stop her dad—an infamous crime lord—from ruining her life.
On the run from her mind-controlling father, the infamously invisible Fiona McClean hides in a small town, hoping to finally rid herself of the crime world she has always known. But playing at “normal life” with a mother she hates, a brother she can't trust, and a boy she can't stand proves more difficult than she ever imagined. Soon her father is hot on her heels, and it’s up to Fiona to protect not only her family, but the friends who’ve taught her that life doesn’t have to be as lonely and cruel as she thought.
X-Men meets The Godfather. Hell yes please. The strength of that combination is enough to make nerds explode with excitement all over the world. Fans of Holly Black's Curse Workers series will writhe will glee with a new world of organized crime and a sci-fi take on citizens with super-natural powers. By the time this book hits shelves, I will have been waiting for it for two years, I want this book to live up to the hype, and live up to that awesome cover, and live up to my expectations. No pressure!
