And what's more important, staying safe or doing what's right? Hush Money is recommended for readers 13 and over due to strong language.
And if that wasn't all complicated enough, Dylan, Joss's long-time crush, is finally starting to talk to her. Now she has an unasked-for best friend, who is the victim of an extortion plot by the school bully, who used to like Joss. Joss is horrified when these heroics lead to the reveal of Kat's Talent. Kat doesn't realize her mistake when she stands up for Joss against Marco, a guy who's been giving Joss a hard time since freshman year.
She spent years as an outsider, hoping to hide what she is, until the new girl, Kat, decides she's friend material.
Those are the rules to live by for seventeen-year-old Joss. For some, keeping that secret begins to define who they are. And so the Talents try, as best they can, to keep their abilities secret-some more successfully than others. Possession of an "unregistered ability" has become illegal, and those who are discovered are forcibly removed to government-run research facilities. Talents are people born with supernatural powers, feared by the population at large. They call their abilities Talents, and that's what they call themselves as well.
