Book Review: Fractured by Gordon G. Bowman (Telepath Book 1)


     Waking up with no memory of anything, including her name, Zoe is soon thrust into a very unfamiliar world where people have the ability to battle with mind control. She shares these abilities, but cannot control when she accesses them. Being found by a professor of an academy which teaches others like her to control their telepathic abilities she makes a new friend in his daughter, and together they try to unravel the secret of who she is. However, this secret may put everyone she cares about at risk if she turns out to be a double agent. Something she hates to even think about. 

    I received a physical copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I love YA fiction, although I haven't been reading it a lot lately. It just hasn't come up as much in my review requests. Still, when I started this I was excited to see what lay in store. With the physical books I read them at work in between calls. For those that don't know I work in a call center. This is great because it breaks up the monotony and gives my eyes a break from constant screens. However, when I am really enjoying a book, like I was with this one, it is also a pain because the book stays at my desk. So I don't have it when I'm home and can't devour it like I want to. 

    This book will keep you guessing which side Zoe is on and what the arrival of her friend from her old life could possibly mean. I went back and forth on it, but had ultimately decided on what ended up happening. However, I didn't expect what happened to the primary background character that died. I won't tell you who it is or how just that someone dies. There are a lot of primary background characters, though, so good luck with that minor spoiler.  

    I enjoyed this book so much that my supervisor and friend, Sadie, wanted to borrow it as soon as I was done so that she could read it too. While this book does have some aspects of YA romance it is primarily YA fantasy. The romance aspect was barely explored, although I could see it progressing much as Cassandra Clare's characters did. Without the temporary sibling plot point. This book absolutely ends on a cliffhanger and will leave you wanting more. I know I do!
