When I requested Found on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review I had heard of the Zellie Wells trilogy but not read the books. Although I have no prior experience of the characters and the Society world Stacey Wallace Benefiel knew how to hook me in from the first chapter and she gives just enough back-story to clue her new readers in, but not too much for the history to be overwhelming.Penny is immediately a fascinating character - a girl who can see the future, rewind time and who has lived on the streets long enough that her past is coloured by events she would rather forget.When Penny is rescued from her current situation by the members of the New Society she is placed under the care of her Lookout, Wyatt. Wyatt and Penny instantly share a connection, but Wyatt is teased by his family because he has never kissed a girl, while Penny has experience because of her past. I like the way in which Stacey Wallace Benefiel allows a trust and understanding to grow between them. Wyatt is protective of Penny and her gifts, thinking completely unselfishly and putting her before his place in the Society.Stacey Wallace Benefiel develops Found's plot brilliantly, building the anticipation and excitement. The twist at the end is totally unexpected and is a fantastic climax, I hope Book 2 will be ready soon!
