(4) YA Sixteen-year-old Kyra returns five years after her mysterious disappearance and hasn't aged a day. When more superhuman capabilities emerge, she must surrender to the NSA or join the other Returned in hiding. Despite an entertaining premise and a tense reveal regarding Kyra's disappearance, an overbearing and unbelievable romance keeps the more compelling relationships with her family and the militant Returned secondary.
