Small coastal village.
Every person aged 15 or older disappears in an instant.
People start to develop mutant-esque powers. Some powers had been developing even before the disappearing.
There is some kind of barrier with a 10 mile radius centered on the local power plant.
When the 14 year olds turn 15 they disappear too.
That is some of the early plot stuff in a nutshell without giving away any real details.
For me personally I got incredibly invested in the characters and the books just felt very powerful as a result.
Books 1-5 are out with Book 6 (the last book) on its way.
