Before the TALENTED, there were Only the GIFTED.
Marie Sharp is just an intern. Fresh out of college, she jumps at the opportunity to work for the most influential man in the country: Brian Monroe. Under his supervision, she helps perfect an alternate reality. A Simulation, the first of its kind. Based on her own ability to manipulate reality, she understands it could be the key to a brighter future.
But after uncovering a secret project, she realizes everything is connected to one thing: the Talented. Biological weapons, created with stolen abilities.
As one of the Gifted, Marie begins to question whether her new job is a coincidence, or part of a plan to take advantage of people like her.
And if that’s the case, what does it mean for her brother, Will?
Taking place before and during the events of TALENTED, Marie becomes sure of only one thing: the Gifted are in danger.

I was skeptical of this book, not gonna lie. It follows a different character, taking place at the same time as the first book. But holy crap! I thought the first book was intense, this one changed *everything* I thought I knew. And there wasn't even a lot of action! It was just all the information we were given, and all the dots we could start connecting. The story is a LOT more complicated than I initially thought. In a good way!
It follows Marie Sharp, a minor character from the first book, who works for Monroe Enterprises. So, surprise surprise, she provides a little background on how the whole "Talent" thing came about.
I'm trying really, *really* hard not to give any spoilers. There's so much I want to say.
I'll leave it at this: Just because Cameran trusted someone in the first book, doesn't mean *we* should. This series is twisty and topsy turvy, and I can't wait to read the last book.

Just as TALENTED did, GIFTED sucked me in from the very first page. MacCready does a phenomenal job changing the main character and telling the story from an entirely different perspective. When you think the story will zig, she makes it zag. I'm not going to ruin the book for you, but I'm telling you.. this books perspective will make you rethink everything you felt for some characters in TALENTED. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, MacCready does something like this! #thankful we only have to wait until fall for the final book!!! 10/10 would recommend. Read if you want your mind blown.
