With an unforgettable opening sentence, Hunting Lila had me enthralled from the very first page. What will happen to Lila if her brother and Alex find out that she has an ability too? Will they understand or will they think that she is just as evil as her mother’s killer?
The Unit are closing in on her mother’s killer – a killer who just happens to have abilities similar to Lila’s. Soon Lila has even more reasons to be worried. When Lila finds out the Jack and Alex have used contacts from The Unit to track down her mother’s killer, she worries that it is too dangerous, that her brother and Alex could be killed.
She wants to know more about Jack and Alex’s work, and while she understands that their job is top secret, she knows that something isn’t quite right. The work at The Unit is secretive…too secretive. She knows that her brother and Alex work for a military organisation known as The Unit, and that is all Lila knows. Alex – who she has been in love with for most of her life. She heads to Southern California – to Jack and Alex. Lila feels lonely and isolated in London, and when she survives a mugging by using her hidden ability – the power to move objects with her mind – Lila decides that she cannot stay in London any longer. Jack refused to move to London and instead moved in with his best friend’s family. Not only did she lose her mother, but she also had to say good-bye to her brother, Jack, and his best friend, Alex, after her father decided to move back to his home-town of London following Lila’s mother’s death. Lila’s life was shattered at the age of twelve when her mother was murdered. In a world where nothing and no one is quite as they seem, Lila quickly realises that she is not alone – there are others out there just like her – people with special powers – and her mother’s killer is one of them… They live in Southern California where they work for a secret organisation called The Unit, and Lila discovers that the two of them are hunting down the men who murdered her mother five years before. After a mugging exposes her unique ability, Lila decides to run to the only people she can trust – her brother and Alex. The second is that she’s been in love with her brother’s best friend, Alex, since forever. The first is that she can move things just by looking at them. 17-year-old Lila has two secrets she’s prepared to take to the grave.
