The 12th Factor: We are the Strong

by MJ Nightingale, M.J. Nightingale

Decades after a war that tore the country apart, New America is filled with dark secrets hidden behind deceiving smiles and polished shoes. This is the America that Thomas Kent and Regina Banks can't live in any longer-nor can their team of outcasts. New America is controlled by an elite, mysterious organization with a puppet for a president. They have plans to make America great again and will stop at nothing to make their vision happen. They've also built a wall meant to keep people safe and protect what's theirs. With a sweet-sounding voice on Wolf Radio meant to soothe the masses and make people feel safe, they are taking control over everything. But, living in the shadows of New America are diverse people with remarkable talents, and abilities. The oligarchy in power wants them permanently behind their borders, silenced, or destroyed. Despite all this, 9 remarkable teenagers vow to live in the shadows no longer, and unveil the truth that is the 12th Factor. But, will anybody listen? Will others join the fight?

Great read about a group of teenagers with super like powers trying to take on a dystopian world. Love the characters and can’t wait to see how the story continues in the 2nd book!

Totally riveting! I'm not usually a fan of YA reads, but the synopsis of this new release really caught my interest. And the more I read, the more I was immersed I became! The lead characters, a mixture of young "X-Men" types & empathetic "normals" are very well-written and realistic. The primary background situation is both scary & chillingly (time) relevant.
This book is chock full of intrigue, adventure, action, a lightheartedness at times, and an eerie parallel to current happenings that will have you cheering, biting your nails, smiling, crying and (hopefully) doing some deep thinking.
Thank you MJ Nightingale & Alyssa Marie for this wonderful read! I cannot wait for The 12th Factor: Backs Against the Wall!!

Short, staccato sentences, multiple pov’s and a unique twist on some of the characters’ super powers make for a fast YA read!

After watching many superhero movies , it's easy to envision the 12th Factor. I liked it but had I been a young adult I would've loved it!

Loved it! A great story containing a lot of relevance. With characters that each pull their own weight.
