If you had the power to be anybody at all, who would you choose to be? Meet Tessa, a not-yet-active agent of a secret branch of the FBI, the FEA (Forces with Extraordinary Abilities) with the unique power (or Variant, as it they call it) to turn into just about anybody by duplicating their DNA right down to the freckles on their faces and the sounds of their voices! 

Forced to move all across the country because her mother branded her a 'freak', Tessa's final stop is the FEA where her mother deposits her, and then cuts off all contact with her only daughter…

As much as she wishes her mother would just accept her for who she is and love her regardless, Tessa finds herself taking a liking to her new world and all the training that comes along with it. This secret centre is a place where she doesn't have to hide who she really is, or more specifically, what she can do, because everybody there is just like her - different! People there can become invisible, have super human strength and even read other people's minds. 

Trained in physical combat, like in the army, as well as how to use their Variant, soon each of them leave the nest to venture out into the big bad world, to try and make it a safer place for everyone else to live in. And now, it's Tessa's turn...

In the small town of Livingston, where everybody knows everybody (or think they do), a serial killer is on the loose. A janitor, a teacher and a teenager seem to be just the start of this ruthless killers' victim list- and the police don't have a clue as to what is happening. When another local teen has a fatal scrape with the killer, Tessa is able to absorb her DNA and learn what she needs to know about the victim, to take her place when she dies and using her Variant to, well, stop the killer once and for all!

With her super sexy co-agent, Alec, the girl she is to impersonate, Madison's friends, cute brother and ex- boyfriend, and a killer on the loose, will Tessa disguised as Madison be able to stop a killer, get what her heart desires and save countless more people? Or will she suffer a similar fate that the real Madison did?

True to the blurb, this tale is the perfect mixture of the X-Men and Veronica Mars that had me flipping each page, hungrily awaiting more! A perfectly blended tale with elements of sci-fi, murder mystery and an exciting romance!

W-O-W!
