The Silence of Innocence

by Reily Garrett

Across the country, psychic children are kidnapped and trained for a specific purpose, to destroy humanity. One of those children is Trenton Briner’s nephew, taken weeks prior at his wedding reception.

The enemy has studied each member of the task force and exploits their weaknesses at every turn. Even the spirits working with them are handicapped.

From the Texas bayou to the northeast corner of the U.S., Hailey and Casper uncover clues to the children’s location, always one step behind.

Will they find the children before they’re brainwashed and turn their burgeoning talents on those who love them?

I've read every book in this series. This was another wonderful edition, with the introduction of new characters that I really enjoyed. I love the the psychic talents mixed with detective work and skirmishes with evil psychics.
Can't wait for the next book. I highly recommend reading them in order. Enjoyed this installment very much.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

They thought the war was over but another evil force is starting another and threatening the group. There are some deaths and several new characters. I loved the transformation of Lincoln and how he looked out for Mickey. There is tension, but also lighter moments and nonstop activity. The ending is particularly sweet and satisfying.

Each time I think they must be running out of adversary’s new ones come out of the woodwork. Another great read with multiple twists and turns. A paranormal fantasy, thriller, and mystery all rolled into one. Yet again more new talents are emerging with new characters making their debut.

A lot of things have changed since I was hear last. So this story had some adjusting to. A lot of things happened. A lot of growth to. A lot of danger, in more ways than one. Getting to know new people in the team. Very good story. Lot of action.

The team continue to fight against those intent on taking over. The teams visibility to the human none psychic world is both a blessing and a curse. A new member joins the team just as a new adversary appears. Another fast paced action packed book.

Love this series, but found the beginning of this book a little sluggish. Once it got going, it kept my interest and I finished it quickly. Can't wait for the next book in the series to arrive. The characters flow smoothly from book to book and I love that the new ones fill a void where no one knew it was needed. Glad to see that each book as a theme and you can follow each character.
