Juliette has been locked in an institution for 260 some days without speaking to another human being until she is told she'll be getting a cellmate. Juliette is terrified because she can't touch anyone without hurting and/or killing them. She really doesn't want to hurt anyone. Adam arrives the next day and the two slowly begin to be friends. Then the Re-establishment (the new government of the post-apocalyptic world) regional leader, Warner, meets with Juliette. He wants to use her power to keep people in line, keep them in fear. And Juliette also learns the truth about Adam... 
 So if you've read the other reviews, with all the obnoxious gif's (hates gotta hate), you'll be prepared for this. It's a rip off of X-Men. It's different, but it has far too many similarities to be claiming originality. 
 However, with that said, I really liked it. It's entertaining, it's fast paced, it's fun. It's an easy read. 
 Some people (see aforementioned haters) had issue with the author's style. Fair enough. It is quite unusual. She uses similes and metaphors more than I thought possible. I found this to be very flowing and poetic after I got used to it. However, I could see where it would drive other people nuts. 
 So if you're willing to overlook the X Men similarities and the purple prose, do it. It's enjoyable. 
 Also, the author gets MAD props (in my book) for throwing in a quote from !The Three Amigos! "Son of a motherless goat!" ...and here I thought I was the only one to say that...
