The Hatch

Britta Tate joins EASA as a psychic intern at the age of 13. Her mother and brother joined before her, went on a mission in space, and they never came back. 10 years later, after going through training and having stronger psychic abilities, Britta takes it upon herself to track down her brother.

I thought this book had a lot to offer, but it just wasn't for me. I couldn't see much of the characters' development as it felt like the story was rushed. I found myself forgetting that we skipped to 10 years and that Britta isn't 13 anymore, because of how naive she seems and it felt awkward reading her romantic feelings for Cal. Her relationship with Cal felt forced, and I saw no chemistry between them. I couldn't connect with her either since she was too odd for me.

This was a fast-paced read. I would have loved to have read more of the war that happened when they took the shield down.
