The Forgotten Five: Map of Flames – First in a new series from the author of The Unwanteds, described as “X-Men meets Oceans 11.” Eight supernatural criminals fled to an island where, over time, seven of them disappeared. The eighth has recently died. Now the criminals’ children, each with powers of their own, have been left to fend for themselves. But when one of them finds a map and a note to find her mother, they’ll venture out into a world where, thanks to their parents, being supernatural is a crime. I couldn’t hit the pre-order button on this one fast enough!
