“There are people in this world who are Nobody. No one sees them. No one notices them. They live their lives under the radar, forgotten as soon as you turn away.

That’s why they make the perfect assassins.

The Institute finds these people when they’re young and takes them away for training. But an untrained Nobody is a threat to their organization. And threats must be eliminated.

Sixteen-year-old Claire has been invisible her whole life, missed by the Institute’s monitoring. But now they’ve ID’ed her and send seventeen-year-old Nix to remove her. Yet the moment he lays eyes on her, he can’t make the hit. It’s as if Claire and Nix are the only people in the world for each other. And they are—because no one else ever notices them.”

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this author.Her stories are always so intriguing  The dive deep into emotions and the plot.

What I enjoyed the most is the plot. Nix, a young boy trained to be killer that no one notices. And Claire, a young girl who just wants to be seen. This story line alone just begs to read. The moment that the plot moves, bringing these two characters together, I wanted more. Not to mention the fact that he pushed her away constantly, also made me want to know what exactly that he is hiding,

There love is what I expected plus a little more. They fight against so many people and rules that they have on them. To watch them overcome what they always knew and become people who they choose to be is awesome. I like seeing them break away from the known, traveling in the unknown. This time not alone but together,

Nobody is a fantastic page turner that I could not resist. Fueled by an awesome plot, Nobody captures rare moments of genuine deep emotions.  Smart and engaging, Nobody is awesome!

I give it 5 BITES!

Happy Reading!
