Favorite Quotes:
“The wall panels, the ceiling tiles, even the floorboards were her eyes and ears; the Dame was always watching, always spying, always aware of everything that happened inside the Institut pour les Privileges.”
“In an icy voice that sounded much too old for the small child I’d seen, the girl whispered her reply: “Privileged.””
“Erik’s turquoise eyes, eyes I wanted so desperatley to gaze into one more time, filled my mind. Images flashed behind my own eyes: My and Erik’s first meeting at my Hunter tryouts; our first mission, when I’d stupidly gotten myself stabbed and he’d taken away the pain so that Henri could stitch me up; the first time we’d kiss; the night after the Coalition attacked a medical facility and Erik returned to my hotel room and we made for the first time; the last time we’d been together at Victoria’s family home, Walburton Manor.”
“I got the distinct impression that neither that fear nor that concern was over her own safety, or that of her bunker-mates. James and Riley exchanged pointed glances, and both boys’ expressions turned grim. Jaw set in a hard line, James rose his brows in question at Kenly.”
“It wasn’t ideal. I wanted to see Erik. We were so close – closer than we’d been in a month. The need to hold him in my arms was stronger than my desire to breathe. Still, I wasn’t stupid. And I had no desire to add yet another screw up in my every growing list.”
“Just as I always did when we were together like this, I kept my mind open to Erik. I let him feel everything I felt, my love and affection for him, the way he made me feel both desired and protected, how complete I was with him by my side.”
Goodreads Synopsis:
Note: This book was previously released as Inescapable.
With a Talent like Mind Manipulation, Talia Lyons has always been able to talk her way out of any sticky situation. Not this time.
Talia’s impulsive nature has landed her on Vault, UNITED’s prison island in the Isle of Exile. But when a terrifying new group called the Privileged threatens everyone she loves, Talia cannot sit idly by.
Prison break, anyone?
My Review:
5/5 stars
With the help of old and new characters, Erik and Talia must do what they can to protect one another from the threat of the Privileged group, all the while having to wait on the vote for the Coexistence Treaty that determines whether the Talented are given protection.
I have been a huge fan of Talented since the beginning, but the past two books have been my favorite. I liked that the authors ended up writing Privileged from multiple points of view. The previous book was from Erik and Talia’s perspectives. Privileged is written from three perspectives, Erik, Talia and a new recruit of the Privileged. Both Erik and Talia’s chapters are from first person point of views whereas the Privileged recruit is written from the third person point of view. I love that Sophie Davis is able to seamlessly write this book from three points of view through each of the three characters narratives. I would say out of all the books in this series, Privileged has a darker tone as compared to the other books. I would highly recommend this book!!
