Goodreads synopsis:

The Black Swan Files continue with GLISTEN.

She is known as Project Sunday to her former government captors—a human enhanced teen transformed by a black swan event. She was their most valuable asset—until she escaped. Now, only one thing is certain, Jocelyn has no intention of ever going back.

   Graeme knew Jocelyn was special the first time he met her...then leaping from his Porsche to take down a drone pretty much sealed the deal. Months later, she's back and trouble is not far behind. But how did you help someone who wouldn't tell you the truth, was constantly on the move, and had a best friend that you wanted to punch in the face? As the stakes get higher and his own family is at risk, Graeme has to decide one thing...whose side is he on?

   Finally in New York, Jocelyn is eager to reach her brother and sister, but nothing works out as she hoped. She has no way to prove who she is, there's a serial killer who wants her dead, her former handler is now controlled by her nemesis, and the mastermind of it all is toying with her. Amidst everything, she is trying to survive in the "real world", help her family in secret, and navigate her first shot at romance.

   Thankfully, she has friends with skills. It will take all of them to stop the government's latest plot. But at what cost?

5 Stars

This is book 2 in Jocelyn’s story. As soon as book one was halfway read, I had to buy the second one in the series. Another awesome, awesome bookish offering.

This book starts where the previous book left off. Jocelyn is still focusing on reuniting with her family but has been in hiding and traveling around. She met Seth in his favorite diner in Texas for the ultra-huge hamburger meal. But when the story opens she is hiking far into the woods and comes across a family who has been targeted by a 3-team serial killer squad. She steps in to assist and one killer is dead and two are in custody. The father of the family she saved just happened to work for the NYPD.

This detective helps block Jocelyn from the media. But somehow Haliwell gets ahold of the main serial killer in the group dubbed, The Butcher and infuses him with the blood of Jocelyn. This makes him not only stronger but way more dangerous.

This book did what it was supposed to do. We got much more detail about all the characters. Jocelyn finally meets her brother and sister, Ben and Morgan even if it is a bit of a trial to get to know them both. Ben is more open and Morgan has a plethora of her own problems.

I hope there are more books in this series coming out because I will definitely be standing in line to purchase it.

I paid for this book with my own money
