Product Description
The black-ops government agency called Sigma broke Justin Delgado, trained his psionic talent and turned him into a killer. Then he escaped and joined the Society, an underground resistance movement of psions determined to use their talents to bring Sigma down. Competent, cold, and cruelly efficient, he's the best operative the Society has, a legend among the psions who fight a shadow war against an enemy that owns the courts, the press, and the police. Feared even by his own teammates, hunted by the government, and too damaged to feel anything but clinical rage, he is utterly alone-until he meets Rowan. When Rowan Price stumbles across Delgado's team in an abandoned house, he is assigned to make contact with her, bring her in, and keep her alive-because Rowan is one of the most powerful psychics the resistance has ever encountered. She possesses a talent that can heal shattered minds and broken bodies, or it can incite riots and revolution. If the government gets its hands on her, she could very well mean the downfall of the resistance, because nobody, not even Rowan, is quite sure how far her talents extend or how powerful she could eventually become. Twenty-four hours after she meets Delgado, her life is shattered and she's on the run from Sigma. If Sigma can't take her freedom, they'll settle for her life. She is simply too powerful to be left alone. The Society will welcome Rowan, if she can stay alive long enough to join them. Unfortunately, there's a traitor buried in the ranks of the resistance, ready to betray everything the Society has worked so hard to achieve. If the Society goes down, Rowan is at risk. God alone knows what Delgado will do to keep her safe, because Rowan is fast becoming the only thing in the world he cares about.

A keeper you can't put down, Sep 19 2005
By Monica Jackson "Romance, Paranormal, Erotica" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Society (Paperback)
The Society is a keep-you-up-too-late book. I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
It's an urban fantasy, set in the real world, about people with inherent psychic powers. A covert arm of our government kidnaps these people and coerces them by drug addiction and torture to use their powers as formidable weapons. The heroine knows shes "different" but has denied it all her life. She lives a quiet life working as a psychiatric nurse and doesn't realize the existence of Sigma, the covert government black ops organization. But when she meets a man who wants to recruit her for an organization that opposes the secret government operation, The Society, danger threatens her former life and everything in it she cares about.
The book ends on a cliffhanger. I was so into the story, I wanted more! I can't wait for the sequel.
Saintcrow stands with the best as far as narrative drive, and her characters are real and often flawed.

Deserves more than 5 stars, Feb 18 2006
By Deborah Wiley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Society (Paperback)
This book blew me away! Rowan Price always thought of herself as a freak due to the feelings she'd get. One night coming home from her job as a nurse at a state mental hospital, she stops to investigate a light in a supposedly empty and haunted house. Instead of ghosts, she finds members of the Society who recognize her as an individual with incredible psionic talent. The Society decides to voluntarily recruit her in order to save her from Signma, a black ops government agency that forcibly recruits their members. Unfortunately, Sigma tries to kidnap her first and Society member Justin Delgado has to intervene. Justin was formerly a member of Sigma and knows how far they will go to keep those of psionic talent under their control; while in Sigma, he was tortured and addicted to the drug Zed. Justin trains Rowan but she begins to heal his heart. Sigma still wants Rowan, however, as she has powers beyond any previously tested. A trap is set and Justin is captured. The book ends with a cliffhanger and thankfully the next book in the series is already out so I can see what happens! Lilith Saintcrow has written a very powerful story that deserves far more than five stars. Highly recommended!

More people should be reading this author!, Dec 1 2005
By Stephany Rodriguez "romance addict" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Society (Paperback)
What is a psion? Do you feel things differently? Can you move things with your mind? Can you set things on fire just by thinking about it? If you can do anything like this then you are a psion and the government wants you! In fact they will pretty much do anything to get you. Kill your friends, family, and pretty much anyone that gets in the way.
Rowan Price knows that she is different. She feels the pain of it every day. She tries her best to live a normal life though and even becomes a nurse because she knows that somehow she can help people.
A secret government organization known as Sigma wants her though. They are evil and want to train her to be one of their operatives. Their version of training is getting her hooked on drugs and combining that with electric shock therapy. The Society is Sigma's counterpart. They want to find psions and save them from Sigma; training them and giving them the choice for how they want to live their lives. Rowan is brought in to the Society by Justin Delgado, a former Sigma operative. The Society saved him and he wants to save Rowan. Read this book to find out how he does it.
Their story is crazy, romantic, suspenseful and best of all it isn't over!
Listmania!
