Don't call them heroes. But these six Californian teens have powers that set them apart
Ethan aka Scam has a voice inside him that'll say whatever people want to hear, whether it's true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn't - like when the voice starts gabbing in the middle of a bank robbery. The only people who can help are the other Zeroes, who aren't exactly best friends these days.
Enter Nate, aka Bellwether, the group's 'glorious leader.' After Scam's SOS, he pulls the scattered Zeroes back together. But when the rescue blows up in their faces, the Zeroes find themselves propelled into whirlwind encounters with ever more dangerous criminals. At the heart of the chaos they find Kelsie, who can take a crowd in the palm of her hand and tame it or let it loose as she pleases.
Filled with high-stakes action and drama, Zeroes unites three powerhouse authors for the opening installment of a thrilling new series.

I love love LOVE this book and it was 100% unexpected. The best kind of book to fall in love with. Here's what I thought about Zeroes:
- Thibault is precious and innocent and my smol cinnamon roll. 100% my favourite thing about this book.
- Flicker/Thibault is one of the cutest, most genuine relationships I've read in a long time. Their romance is EVERYTHING.
- I LOVE the dynamic between the cast of characters. Villain-y Nate, moral Chizara, complicated (read: fuckup) Ethan, vibrant, lively Kelsie, lonely, complicated Thibault, and Flicker holding them all together. Squad goals, honestly.
- The plot is fast as hell, exciting, and stays well away from the predictable
- Super abilities that are hella new and inventive
- The writing is so, so strong and compelling and vivid emotionally
- It's just so damn good. SO damn good. I need both sequels immediately. This series excites me so much.
- Just read this book. You won't regret it.
