I was given this book in return for an honest review. Part 2 begins with Remy and little sis Shane sneaking out to meet with Daelen, a Druid. He whisks them to his cottage and tells Remy she is the one and must train and learn to use her powers properly.She is "The One", destined to defeat the demons that have taken over so many of the humans. Her powers come from a recessive gene and a bit of scentific interferance. Shane and brother Greg have powers too, Daelen sends Shane home and works with Remi, first she gets the knowledge of the ancients then the Druid sleep, which should make her magic control her emotions and become part of her soul. She fights it because to give in means that her family would not come first in her life. After re-living the deaths of her best friend and her mother, she will not give in all the way and Daelen interferes to save her. After she mistakes his intentions and bolts back home. She spill all the info to her family and they formulate a plan to create more "superhumans". Her father bales and they are in charge now. During a raid with some of the "superhumans" they discover what looks like babies possessed by demons. Remy calls on Daelen, after having blocked all communication with him, and he tells her the worst possible, they are not possessed babies, they are actual demon babies. The demons have come to far, they no longer need the humans and will set about their destruction. After again having to do the unthinkable, she passes out and wakes up in Daelen's cabin to find that her transformation did not work properly, her emotions are controlling her powers and that could meen the end of her and anyone around her. She doesn't know if she can fully trust Daelen, he has his secrets and agendas. But they will need to band together to fight what is coming next, if they can fight it at all. I loved the novella, it's a neat twist on magic, and I get to watch the group of kids transform, not only in there magic, but in their personalities, and battling skills. The fact that they are so devoted to each other is refreshing and I would recommend this book to YA and adult readers alike.
