Synopsis:
Worst. Road Trip. Ever.
Escaping with Reid Wentworth should have been fun, but how can I enjoy it when I just (accidentally) killed someone, my mom and brother are in danger, and the Consortium is trying to enslave humanity? (Yeah, they aren’t fooling around.) So feeling something for Reid Wentworth was not part of the plan. Trying to help unite the Resistance against the Consortium means I can’t be distracted by hot boys.
The Resistance secret hideout isn’t exactly the rebel base of my dreams. A traitor there wants me dead, but we have no idea who it is. And with both the Resistance and the Consortium trying to control me, the only one I can trust is Reid. If we’re going to have any chance of protecting my family, controlling my unstable powers, and surviving the clash between the Oculi factions, I’m going to have to catch this traitor. By using myself as bait.

First Impressions
I read Anomaly at some point last year, and I've been excited for Enigma ever since! I picked up Enigma and I just devoured it! I started it one evening, and finished it the next morning! I was excited to get back into Josie and Reid's world. The beginning was a little rocky as I tried to remember all the terminology, but otherwise it was off to a great start.
Characters
While Josie and Reid share the main character role, Josie really shines as the lead. She has powers beyond imagination, quite literally, and isn't afraid to use them. I also loved seeing how much Josie cares about her family. Her little brother Eli is one of the most important people in the world to her, and it's touching to see how much she cares about him.
Reid and Josie have a wonderful relationship. If you've read the first book, you know that they've both liked each other since they were kids. Reid was best friends with Josie's older brother, but situations drove them apart. But now they are back in each other's lives, and making the best of it. It was always fun to have the two of them in a room together, and I'm a big fan of the smooching too.
World Building
The series takes place in our world. This gives it a nice grounding, while also adding in a sci-fi element. Also, Josie is a huge nerd, and that adds to the world. She's constantly making Star Wars, Star Trek, and Marvel nods. Being an epic fangirl myself, it was super fun to see an awesome nerd portrayed in a book. While Josie's segment of the Oculi world is small, I could feel the author hinting at a larger world. Be it another sequel or a spin-off, I would love to see and learn more about the world of Oculi and Anomalies.

Title: Anomoly
Author: Tonya Kuper
Series: Schrodinger's Consortium #1
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Synopsis:
Reality is only an illusion.
Except for those who can control it…
Worst. Birthday. Ever.
My first boyfriend dumped me – happy birthday, Josie!- my dad is who knows where, I have some weird virus that makes me want to hurl, and now my ex is licking another girl’s tonsils. Oh, and I’m officially the same age as my brother was when he died. Yeah, today is about as fun-filled as the swamps of Dagobah. But then weird things start happening…
Like I make something materialize just by thinking about it.
When hot badass Reid Wentworth shows up on a motorcycle, everything changes. Like, everything. Who I am. My family. What really happened to my brother. Existence. I am Oculi, and I have the ability to change reality with my thoughts. Now Reid, in all his hotness, is charged with guiding and protecting me as I begin learning how to bend reality. And he’s the only thing standing between me and the secret organization that wants me dead…
To sum it up: The Matrix meets Divergent in contemporary high school. Intrigue, action, romance with lots of hotties, and (understandable) quantum physics theories.
