Hide: The Delta Project Part 1 by Jessica Jaster

Blurb:
D005 has been a part of a secret program known as the Delta Project her entire life. She has been genetically modified to be stronger, faster, smarter and to heal faster. Trained in hand-to-hand combat, weaponry and battle tactics, she has been worked to physical and mental exhaustion every day of her life. Raised without love or care of any kind, she has no idea what it means to be happy – to be free. And now she has run away. 
But then she wakes up on the rocky shore of the Missouri River with no memory of how she got there, or why there are bullet wounds, scratches and bruises riddling her body. Her entire past has become a blank sheet except for a recurring nightmare of her running through the woods with dogs chasing her and voices shouting at her that she can never hide. 
As she struggles to understand the kind of life she has never had, emotions she has never felt before, and the mystery of her past, she is helped by Brianna Hartman and Reid Phelps – the two teenagers who discover her. When she goes to live with Brianna at the Hartman Ranch, she must also learn to deal with Bri’s brother, the gruff Cormac Hartman, who is running from his own past. He seems to hate her from the word go, but when she discovers his crude attitude is just his way of dealing with the hurt he is feeling, she decides to make it her mission to draw him back into life. Then a mysterious stranger comes to the ranch and her new world comes crashing down around her as her past comes back to haunt her.

My Review:
I enjoyed this story about a mysterious girl that shows up on the beach one day wearing a silver suit and a bracelet with a triangle and 5 dots, having been shot multiple times and with amnesia. She was taken in by Bri and her brother Mac since she had no idea where she came from. As her memory continues to have holes in it, her abilities become more revealing of things in her past and that they may not be normal things. Weston becomes closer to Bri and Mac and the rest of the ranch crew, and worries that her past will endanger them someday. The synopsis caught my attention and the book didn't let me down, I was intrigued from page one and found the characters to be very realistic.

My Rating: 4 Stars
