Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Teddie likes her country music and her old pick-up truck and she’s not sure how she let her best friend talk her into spending a semester abroad in Darjeeling India. Once she arrives, her innocence quickly collides with an underworld in which young women are bartered and sold. As she fights to understand a depravity that she never dreamed existed, Teddie finds that her own mind develops a unique ability for locating her friends and that an ancient group is willing to train her to save others by using her innate skills for out of body experiences. 

It will require trust in ideas she barely believes, and more courage than has ever been expected of her. When it becomes clear that the alternative may be her friends’ deaths and the unchecked growth of an evil crime lord’s empire, Teddie accepts the challenge and shows those guilty of unspeakable crimes just how powerful a young woman can be.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5. 

This was a great addition to the 46.Ascending series. Each book deals with a different social issue that's prevalent in our society. This one deals with the sex trade, including other ways that women and children are exploited. The author ties these issues into a different ability; in x0 the ability was telepathy, in y1 the main character was able to alter his appearance, in z2 the ability was to slow down time, and in c3 Teddie is able to travel outside of her body to find her friends and try to save them. 

I love how the author ties the stories together, both in the very beginning and at the end, taking certain events and showing them again from the main character's point of view. Seeing those events from the point of view of someone new lends an interesting twist on the story. It's nice how everything is tied together while still allowing the reader to read the books in absolutely any order they choose. I love getting tiny hints of some of the other family members' stories, without getting the full detail because that means I can't wait for the next installment. I'm anxiously awaiting d4, which the author has stated will follow Ariel, Teddie's older sister. 

You can purchase c3 through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
