Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes - ESSENTIAL


Barnes, Jennifer Lynn Nobody, 393 p. Egmont, 2013.  $18.  Violence: PG-13; Language: PG (5 swears).  

As a Nobody, Nix is the perfect assassin; even if someone wants to notice him or remember him, they have to actively work to do so.  His 13th target, however, is Claire.  He has been told that she is a Null, a soulless user and abuser of Normals.  When they meet face to face however, they both learn there is much more to their existence, because Claire is actually a Nobody also, one not under control of The Society.  And The Society lied to Nix.  What else have they lied about?  

No need to tell you much more.  Barnes’ fertile imagination offers up another taut piece of fiction, sure to capture your attention and render you breathless.  Do you think she will ever write any more books in The Squad series?
