Summary
The Grifters kidnap any metahumans - those with superhuman powers - living outside the Academy...like me. Only this time, they missed.
For centuries, a covert organization of metahumans called the Academy has protected unaware civilians from the Grifters, creatures whose humanity is as deformed as their craggy faces. I’d spent 18 years ignorant of either group, and of their endless war. Then the Grifters found me.
The Academy whisked me away to safety, and we waited for the danger to pass. Only it didn’t. The Grifters, too stupid to know or too cruel to care that I’d left, kidnapped my best friend instead.
It won’t take them long to figure out their mistake, but I’m not going to give them the opportunity. Finding Kara means grueling training at the Academy - a sequestered hub of classified operations, psychic powers, and fighting creatures that should only exist in nightmares. We have the weapons, the technology, and the brains. The Academists are strong, but Grifters are stronger. They can’t even feel pain. But we can, and Grifters are the perfect outlet for releasing that pain.
The Trace is the first book in the young adult trilogy: Whitewashed, following Ella Kepler, a nascent metahuman whose strength and speed is matched only by the enemies set against her.

Fast paced and very intriguing
This book truly is fast and furious in its delivery. There's no waxing lyrical, no meandering and stopping to smell the metaphorical roses. As the plot gathers pace coinciding with the urgency of the protagonist to save her friend you will find it harder to put down. Numerous twists and conspiracies keep you constantly second guessing yourself throughout and the ending lays the groundwork for book 2 nicely.
Becci Martin's narration is crisp, clear and well paced. Her character voices are varied and it's easy to discern which individuals are speaking. She's certainly well suited to narrating this trilogy
Overall I feel it's worth investing time in the series and I look forward to seeing how it develops.
