Trials, Tribulations, and Trust Issues — Julie C. Gilbert

Get kidnapped by government thugs. Check.(Guess that’s off my bucket list.)Name’s Jess, and I have superpowers. A lot of them. You’d think that would make life easier. Wrong. Dead wrong.Having many superpowers landed me my first job out of college. (Translation: The government sent suited sweet-talkers with a carrot-and-stick approach to kidnap me and set me to reviewing superpowers.)Job Pros: Reviewing powers pays well, and my family stays off the scary people’s list of things-to-kill-today.Job Cons: It comes with a billion strings attached and a side serving of life-and-death situations.If I don’t beat the government at their own game, I’ll die. Worse, I’ll probably take my family down with me. This whole situation is giving me some Grade A trust issues.
