When a sudden and suspicious house explosion tragically kills her parents just days before her eighteenth birthday, Jade is thrown into a spiral of survivor’s guilt and paranoia. But it’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you…
The sinister Prism Foundation is hunting Jade for her powers, and secrets and lies make it impossible for her to trust her remaining family and even her closest friends. Jade is forced to turn to a stranger for help, the gorgeous and mysterious new kid in school, Jonathan Jakes.

Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Chelle:
--Actual rating 4.5 Skulls
One of the best Para-NA's I've read in long awhile!
In a moment, Jade's life was changed forever. Always a bit of an introvert, she's used to being on her own and being independent, but when her life blows up around her, she's forced to flee everyone and everything she knows to outrun an organization intent on nabbing her for the powers she's tried so hard to suppress and hide. With lies and danger around every turn, Jade is left with no choice but to trust a guy she just met and can't get out of her head, but he and those he's involved with may prove to be more dangerous than anything.
I loved this somewhat standoffish, strong and snarky heroine, and the action was utterly gripping from beginning to end. Action, adventure, romance and wit; Escape has a little bit of everything.
Definitely recommended for adult fans of action-packed para-YA and NA. The sex scenes make it a little steamy for true YA readers, but I think mature YA fans will really enjoy the world and characters Ms. White has dreamt up.
