Power

by S.E. Zbasnik

Jaya Foster creates portals from across the globe. It sounds impressive, but in a world where mailmen spit fire and secretaries cover their bodies in granite it’s not. With a yellow jewel embedded in her forehead, Jaya’s stranded on her people’s side of the city. Across the scar are the Blues, a division of completely different powers. For that reason, society cut in half. Most go their whole lives without meeting a different gem, but Jaya’s job keeps her in contact with the others. When a bizarre murder lands in her lap, Jaya teams up with Riktuo Fujita, a dashing Blue. Terrorist bombings, assassination attempts, and more threaten their every step. Yet, even with every brush with death, Jaya can’t stop flirting with Rikuto nor can he seem to stop brushing his hand against hers. If the murderer doesn’t get to her first, the Council of 100 will.

[Kristen Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

S.E Zbasnik’s POWER is a fast-paced story with a fascinating twist on humans possessing extraordinary abilities.

Segregated into two worlds according to control levels and the types of power, divided by the ‘scar’, the storyline takes off right from the start. The tale follows Jaya, a gater and level 5 officer, who uses her ability to portal in an investigative capacity, allowing her unique access to the other side…and the people who live there. It’s there that she meets, and falls for, Rikuto—a forbidden attraction.

This well-written novel is a perfect balance of suspense, mystery, and romance that will pull at your heartstrings even while your heart pounds through the action. Highly recommended to all fans of sci-fi/fantasy!
