Zero Sum Game (Cas Russell, #1)
S.L. Huang
A blockbuster, near-future science fiction thriller, S.L. Huang's Zero Sum Game introduces a math-genius mercenary who finds herself being manipulated by someone possessing unimaginable power..... Cas Russell is good at math. Scary good. The vector calculus blazing through her head lets her smash through armed men twice her size and dodge every bullet in a gunfight, and she'll take any job for the right price. As far as Cas knows, she’s the only person around with a superpower...until she discovers someone with a power even more dangerous than her own. Someone who can reach directly into people’s minds and twist their brains into Moebius strips. Someone intent on becoming the world’s puppet master. Cas should run, like she usually does, but for once she's involved. There’s only one problem...She doesn’t know which of her thoughts are her own anymore.

Meet Cas - badass math genius who can retrieve almost anything you need. One mission goes sour, and Cas gets caught up in a whole new game - super powers and mind reading are a reality. It's up to Cas and her allies to try and take down a secret organization. And hopefully, not get influenced in the process.
Zero Sum Game is a great book. I really enjoyed Cas as a main character. She was a strong, badass woman, and vulnerable at the same time - it took her a bit to get there, but she figured it out. I also really liked Checker, he was just fun to read about, and I enjoyed his banter.
The world and setting were done really well. I liked how the mystery was developed, and the main plot was explained. The author did a great job unravelling the story. Some of the writing was a little bit clunky, but overall, it was easy to read, and flowed well.
Overall, this was enjoyable, and exciting. I am very intrigued to see where this story goes, and what Cas gets herself into next!
