\"bookSmarter<\/a>, faster,

Unlike her stepsister, daredevil Julia isn’t perfect, hangs out with the not-perfect boy ‘cousins’ and is exiled to public school for letting outsiders see their superhuman strength.<\/p>\n

Pretending to be less-strong, less-smart, less-amazing is second nature – but what if she wants to be herself with John?<\/p>\n

My book talk<\/strong>: Sent to public school as punishment, Julia discovers that her ‘family talents’ hide a deep secret that the Austin teen may not want to be part of, but does she have a choice?<\/p>\n

Her descent from elite untouchable was abrupt after the dumb dare that got Julia and the guys she’s known forever noticed by the police, but is being ignored at a new school (and having to fake being merely outstanding at tennis) any worse than being scorned by her family group?<\/p>\n

They heal overnight, run faster and farther than anyone else, sense trends before everyone else – but are those the only talents shared by her extended family?<\/p>\n

When she starts sensing John’s thoughts at school, Julia becomes convinced that her charismatic father has been hiding much from the younger family members – but why?<\/p>\n

As their feelings grow, Julia knows that she must protect John and his family from hers – but is it too late?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
