Daughter of Nothing by Eric Kent Edstrom
“I seem to recall you have the key to the pit and the remote control for the front gate.”
“Say I broke down the door to the medical ward and wheeled Vaughn out onto the quad. Say I let Humphrey out and opened the front gate. Where would you go with them?”

BLURB
Few people even know that the Scion School exists. Tucked away on a private Caribbean island, the school is host to thirty-six exceptionally gifted students, all orphans. They train and study every day to prepare themselves for an immense responsibility, to lead humankind back from the brink of extinction.
At least, that’s what they’ve been told.
Among the thirty-six is Jacey, 17, one of four Scions in the Eagle class. She is the favorite of the 93-year-old headmaster, Dr. Carlhagen. But when Jacey overhears a conversation between a strange visitor and one of the school’s first graduates, she learns a stunning fact about her future. One that Dr. Carlhagen has kept from all the Scions.

I remember this part! I’m rereading this to get ready for our tag team event. Are you going to? My notes don’t have enough detail.
I am skimming over it, but my notes are pretty helpful. I just want to wait a little longer while I try and get this email SHIT taken care of.
That’s good for me. I have a lot of reviews to finish up this month.
I’m not sure what’s happening here, but that makes it sound intense!
I was a bit confused as I read, but when it hit me what was really going on I was nodding, saying yep, I should have seen that coming. Eric’s books are great at taking me to a new place and amazing me with his stories.
Wow the cover is stunning! This has got to be an interesting read! Thanks for bringing it out! Lots of love, Emily
I like the cover too and it is a very interesting read. Erik manages to come up with scenarios that make me stretch my imagination.
This sounds good and I like the cover too 🙂
Thaks KIm. It is a great read.

Happy St. Pat’s to you too. Thanks for stopping in.
I love the cover – the girl reminds me of Scarlett Johansson. This sounds great!
