Synopsis

An action-packed, young adult coming-of-age adventure, K. K. Pérez's The Tesla Legacy follows a precocious young scientist named Lucy Phelps whose fateful encounter in the Tesla Suite of the New Yorker Hotel unlocks her dormant electrical powers. As Lucy struggles to understand her new abilities through scientific experimentation, she is thrust into a centuries old battle between rival alchemical societies.One side wants her help and the other wants her dead, but both believe she is the next step in human evolution. Unfortunately, carriers of the genetic mutation―including Nikola Tesla―have a greatly reduced life expectancy. Even if Lucy can outrun her enemies, she can’t outrun herself.

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany)

Actual Rating: 4.5 stars The Tesla Legacy is an eminently bingeable blend of science fiction and urban fantasy that features a brave heroine, plenty of action, a bit of romantic drama, and unexpected twists.

Goodreads review by Kate

This book is electrifying and loads of exciting, power-driven and thrilling fun! Take an insanely smart but quiet teenager, who has been home schooled most her life because of a seizure disorder, and throw in a bit of Peter Parker meets Electro meets Wonder Woman - and you've got our main character,......more
