Ridgemore's number two book in the series. This series has vulgar language so keep that in mind before letting your children read it. When in doubt I always read the book before allowing my children too. I'm not a fan of reading books with the f word in it and believe me it's in here a lot. However, this sci-fi book is so addictive I quickly overlooked that. And I am a huge fan of Lucia Ashta! This series is so outside the box from her other genres. Truth be told I'm a huge sci-fi fan. Growing up Saturday's after cartoons they would play old sci-fi movies. That was my daddy daughter bonding time. Okay back to the book. So Mr Chase & I will just call him Chase from now on has the main characters in a private hospital. Jossalyn unexpectedly took three days to wake up after they brought her back to life. The crew fill Joss in on what she missed while she was unconscious. Then Chase came in with armed guards and an offer. He told them the truth. Their parents were his employees who stole him from a secret lab that Chase owned making them his property. You can imagine how that went over. Chase had no doubt their parents were searching for them. He planned to use the kids as bait to lure them back into working for him. Chase promised them anything they wanted. Education at a private school he was creating for kids with special abilities. They could learn any subject they wanted. Advanced classes or college credit. Even any subject they desired. They left immediately for this new school. The school wasn't quite done so he'd built them a mansion to live together in. Their cars were there as well as one for Layla & Hunt. They had a garage big enough to store everything in. State of the art tools & even a painting booth in the corner. They have huge bedrooms & clothes that match the style that they all normally wear. A wall of glass in the mansion. A gaming room, koi pond, Huge fully stocked kitchen. A chef & maids were going to come in while they were in classes or training in their ninja classes. Yep, Chase had brought in 3 martial arts instructors. They knew they could easily be bought because this was everything they wanted to learn. They learned the "parents" were scientists. Jose's even cheated on the other. Brady & Lay's mom turned out to be a real mean unfeeling woman! Griffin actually met the woman who was supposed to be his mom that left his dad when he was little. Turns out it was all a lie! The photos they had all seen of their mom's pregnant were faked. None of them had given birth to them. They were actually born to paid surrogates. Griffin took it hard. And poor Hunt his father they said never existed. But we all know that's impossible! The deal they had to make to find out more about themselves, what powers they had, & uncover what else Chase was hiding. They snooped around & discovered another student that could cause earthquakes & one who was a walking electricity bolt. One was trying to escape the bunker. This isn't even the worst parts. At one point they decide things aren't going as good as Chas wants them so their parents help them be hypnotizing them. Only something goes wrong that they don't realize at the time. They were basically supposed to erase their memories & remember whatever the recorded message said. The message gets messed up. And unbeknownst to the parents reveal their true colors. They don't care about these kids. They are just as ruthless & manipulative as Chase. Oh and they should really win a Grammy for their acting roles. When they wake up they are in their own homes again with their parents & expected to go back to public school like nothing ever happened. It's A lot harder than they thought. Plus they know they are being watched & recorded. Worst part is the want Joss & Griffin to stay friends this time. And poor Hunt who never goes into a relationship lightly because he dates exclusively when he does is supposed to be Zoe's boyfriend. He only liked her as a friend. And she's hanging all over him & wants to go all the way with him. Everyone in the crew is appalled! He keeps pushing her away. The crew sticks to him like glue. There is a big cliffhanger at the end! And now I have a book hangovers!
