Quanta Reset (The Shadow Ravens #3)
by Lola Dodge
Genre: YA
Release Date: September 27th 2016
Ink Monster
Summary from Goodreads:
Quanta has escaped her laboratory prison, but that’s where the good news ends.
Life at the Shadow Ravens’ compound is a disaster. She’s drowning in visions of the dark pasts and darker futures of her fellow Ravens and is plagued by her own panic-inducing memories, but Lady Eva still expects her to “train” and “participate in missions.” Plus, the food tastes like burnt plastic.
The only bright spot is her genetic pairing to the brilliant Altair Orpheus. As their relationship grows, she’s positive that chemicals aren’t the only things drawing them together—although chemistry is definitely involved.
While they test the limits of her game-changing new ability to reset time, word arrives from Eva’s agents: Doctor Nagi is still experimenting with her DNA. If he succeeds in duplicating her power…
Forget the Shadow Ravens. The whole world is toast.

Quanta Reset Excerpt- Tair’s POV
The results couldn’t be right. It wasn’t possible.
I ran them again. And again. Each time, the data told the
same story.
Quanta was destabilizing.
A ragged breath escaped me as I collapsed onto a stool. I
slipped off my glasses to rub my forehead. A notification popped up on the
closest screen, but I likely already knew the contents, and I tuned out the pinging
sound.
The Red Helix marked unstable DNA, and more power meant
greater instability. Less control. And more chance of losing that control
permanently.
Genetics had grown exponentially since the Seligo were
created, but the science had never been exact. There were too many factors in
the equation. Eye color could be programmed, intelligence could be raised, but
every tweak changed something else downstream. Reds had superhuman abilities,
but the smallest change knocked them out of balance. A change in environment.
Exposure to new stressors.
History was peppered with examples of Reds who’d lost the
battle against their own powers. They caused large-scale death and destruction.
It had been decades since the last incident, but only because the Seligo killed
most of the girls at birth.
Now Quanta… After all she’d survived…
Despair clenched my chest. Air hardly flowed into my lungs.
Her slipping control was just a symptom of the changes
happening in her body. Gradual deterioration that would end in…
Another notification pinged on-screen. I ignored it,
slumping until my elbows rested on my knees. We could develop serums to help
stabilize her. All I had to do was keep her safe and secure until we figured
out what was pushing her toward the edge.
Her condition wasn’t a death sentence. Not yet.
The notification pinged again, and I finally swiped at the
screen. “What?”
“Um.” A girl’s face popped up. “Altair?”
“What do you need, Sam?” I’d expected Eva directly—not her
com commander.
“Just wondering why Quanta and Cipher broke into the
barracks.”
“They—” I snapped. “What?”
“You didn’t know?” Sam peered at me through the screen.
“Have you told Eva?” I jammed on my glasses as I headed for
the door.
“Not yet, but…”
I turned back to the screen. Sam clutched her hands to her
chin, transmitting guilt like a beacon. “What did you do?”
“I already messaged Knight.”
If he found Cipher and Quanta together, he’d ask questions
second.
I sprinted out of the lab.
I had to get to them first.
