Reckless : a Rewind novel

RECKLESS is the final chapter in the trilogy that started with REWIND and UNLEASHED (Boyds Mills Press, 2018 and 2019). The books tell the story of Alexandra Manning, a teenage spinner with the ability to freeze and rewind time. RECKLESS finds Alex and her friends safely tucked away in a refuge for runaway spinners, but their security doesn't last long. Alex soon discovers that their presence has put the refuge in danger, not from the Center she so recently escaped, but from Kronos, a shadowy international organization that has mastermind the spinners' suppression for centuries. Determined to protect the people she loves, Alex and her boyfriend KJ are drawn back to Portland where they learn that Kronos has a plan to put an end to spinners forever. As the danger mounts, they begin to understand that to stop the persecution of spinners they have to do more than get their friends somewhere safe. Time is running out and evading the enemy is no longer enough. To win this battle, Alex must face Kronos itself. With a cast of both new and familiar characters, RECKLESS is simultaneously a quick-read page turner full of twisty revelations, and a thought-provoking novel about acceptance and the cost of greed. It also offers fans of the series a final answer about the future for spinners--and for Alex "Alex and KJ have rescued their friends from the Center that held them captive all their lives, but they are not yet safe. Discovering a community of free spinners also reveals the full extent of the plots against them, and the true threat is not the Center, nor even the Central Office, but Kronos, a shadowy international organization that has masterminded the spinners' suppression for centuries. When their escape from the Center brings Kronos's attention to the very refuge that is protecting them, Alex is determined to act. Back on the cold streets of Portland, she and KJ find out Kronos's chilling new plan to eliminate spinners forever. As the danger mounts, Alex has to decide how far she will go to save her friends. Time is running out and evading the enemy is no longer enough. To win this battle, Alex must face Kronos itself."--Goodreads
