Keep your head down. Don’t look anyone in the eye. Never even think about technology if one of those ghostly, grey cars is sliding silently down the road. They'll see the thoughts inside you, if you let them.

Sam's a technopath, able to control electronic signals and manipulate technology with his mind.

Newly qualified rebel soldier, Serena, doesn't even know she's chasing a person, all she knows is that she has to find whatever the Institute is after before they do. But, tracking an unknown entity through an unfamiliar city, with inaccurate intelligence, unexpected storms, and the Watch on the prowl, will she even survive? Will she get to Sam before the Institute does? His special skills could provide the resistance with an incredible advantage, but not if they can't get out of the city, and over the huge wall that stands between them and freedom.

Review of 'I Am the Storm' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

In a world where those with powers are outlawed, 14-yo Sam is a technopath, able to to control electronic gadgets and networks. He must constantly hide his gift. Serena's a soldier in the shadowy ARC, working to bring down the group that outlawed people like her.

For me, too much of this novel was spent inside the heads of our two main characters. I feel like I have a deep understanding of who they are as people but no knowledge of what their world and the people around them are like. It prevented me becoming fully immersed in the story, which is a shame as I would have liked to.
