Get ready for a gripping sci-fi adventure with Kevin E. Morris' young adult thriller -- Heightened: Project Evolve. For the past ten years, Kai Chapman has been living at the Hope Street School for Boys with no memories of his parents or his early childhood. Haunted by nightly visions, Kai encounters a mysterious man named Flint, who introduces himself as a friend of his father's and apprises Kai of his unique Heightened abilities. Flint takes Kai to the underground Sanctuary, where he encounters others with extraordinary abilities, all trying to escape the radar of the nefarious Stratus and his men. As Kai trains to master his abilities, his instructor, Jax, is abducted by men in uniforms. Can Kai and his friends rescue Jax and stop Stratus' insidious plan?
X-Men meets The Maze Runner! That's how it felt to read this action-packed novel by Kevin E. Morris. Heightened: Project Evolve is, at its heart, a superhero origin story. Weaving a fast-paced plot, Morris crafts an absorbing tale layered with mystery, suspense, and intrigue. The twists and turns are well-placed and keep you wondering what's about to happen next. The main protagonist, Kai, grows a lot over the course of the story. His character development was one of the book's highlights for me. I also enjoyed the secondary characters like Ollie and Sam, as well as the dynamic between Kai, Flint, and Sierra. The book concludes with a thrilling sequence of events, culminating in a cliffhanger that leaves a few plot threads open-ended, which I believe will be resolved in the sequel. It's an entertaining thriller for young adult readers!
