This is the exciting conclusion of an interesting story. There is mystery, murder, government corruption and conspiracy but also psychic powers and ghosts. The government has been experimenting with trying to enhance brain activity to produce extraordinary psychic powers in humans. They are successful in some cases but in others the results are catastrophic. Some of the children of the first generation test subjects, called adepts, are developing unusually strong powers and some powers are uncontrollable. The government is now trying to contain, "cure" ,control and perhaps use these kids for nefarious purposes, often against their will. Meanwhile, apparently different factions are killing off adepts and civilians both. There is a presidential candidate that is up to his ears in the conspiracy and corruption. The psychic kids join together and are trying to put an end to the government's attempt to control them. There is lots of action but the conclusion of the book and the trilogy was a little anti-climatic. This is book three of the Delphi Trilogy. I hadn't read the other two books but this works as a stand alone. The reason it works as a stand alone is that the author retells the previous books throughout the story. If I had read the other books, I would have probably found this annoying. Also, the author's style, while written in first person, reads very detached as if I'm reading a persons diary. It was unusual for me. I really did like the story though and will read more from this author. I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed are my own. ( )
