Booklist

In Trust Me, Bernand’s conclusion to the Find Me trilogy, seventeen-year-old Wick is taken to a special program that is supposed to help her get back on track, use her hacking skills for good purposes, and protect her from her father and his criminal empire. From the very beginning, Wick fears that there is something wrong with the program, that it is not what it seems. She finds out she is right when her practical hacking entrance exam is revealed to be a hack of a pacemaker. Instead of being out of the game, she is in a different game, with fewer escape routes. It is not necessary to read the first two books in the series before this title, as Bernard provides background for most characters and references, but it would help deepen the reader’s understanding of Wick’s character and motivations. In some ways, the book is similar to Allen Zadoff’s Unknown Assassin series: both have young, talented protagonists in mysterious and dangerous situations that they struggle to understand while protecting those around them. Readers who appreciate quick-moving stories with many twists and a little romance will enjoy following Wick on her journey to find a real home. Reviewer: Suzanne Libra; Ages 12 to 18.

Wick's problems come down to deciding whom she can trust in this conclusion to the trilogy begun with Find Me (2013) and continued in Remember Me (2014). The mess that is Wick's life will be best understood by those who've read the first two titles, but Bernard makes an attempt to clarify as events unfold. Wick is being asked to live in a setting where she will work as a hacker for a company called Looking Glass. The work is overseen by her therapist, and Wick and her teen colleagues live, hack, and attend school all on two floors of a high-rise without being permitted to leave—which makes it a prison as far as Wick is concerned. Separated from her little sister and adopted mother, Wick isn't inclined to trust anyone even though she is told repeatedly this whole arrangement is to keep her safe. Safe from whom and what gradually becomes more and more complicated as the various threads of the plot intertwine. Wick's slow discoveries come after a number of twist and turns. Not much of the hacking makes sense or is particularly crucial to the plot, so this novel will not be of special interest to geeks, despite its high-tech trappings. For die-hard fans of the first two books. (Thriller. 12-16)
