**Thursday
book recommendation**
These are
books I’ve read and really enjoyed. Most of what I talk about will probably be
paranormal/scifi but not always. Although it’s rare, I do read some
contemporary.
This week
is: Five Minutes Longer (Enhanced World Book 1) by Victoria Sue
Blurb: Talon
Valdez knew when he transformed into an enhanced human, his life and his dreams
were finished. Reviled, mistrusted, and often locked away, the enhanced were
viewed as monsters, despised by the public, and never trusted to serve in the
military or any law enforcement agency.
Years
later he gets a chance to set up a task force of enhanced to serve in the FBI,
but with one proviso: each enhanced must partner with a regular human.
Finn Mayer
dreamed of joining the FBI from the time he was fourteen and made every possible
sacrifice to make it happen, including living with his selfish mother and
bullying, homophobic brother and never having a boyfriend. But his undiagnosed
dyslexia stopped his aspirations dead in their tracks. His last chance is to
partner with Talon, an enhanced with deadly abilities who doesn’t trust regular
humans with their secrets and wants Finn to fail.
Four weeks
to prove himself to the team. Four weeks for the team to prove itself to the
public. And when another group threatens their success—and their lives—four
weeks for them to survive.
***re-release
2020. Contains no significant story differences***
One of my absolute favorites. I remember reading this
when it first came out and loving it. The worldbuilding is very interesting.
You have enhanced humans, who each have different types of powers, then you have
regular humans. Has a very Xmen feeling but set in today’s world. Now add in
the ‘cop’ angle! (Only this is more FBI.)
This is also a series, and I’ve read all but the last
book (and I’m working on it lol).
