Sixteen-year-old Jessica Mastriani knew she wasn't going to be able to hide her psychic powers from the U.S. government -- interested in utilizing her special skills for their own devices -- forever. But she never thought that she and Cyrus Krantz, the special agent brought in to "convince" Jess to join his elite team of "specially-gifted" crime solvers, would turn out to have something in common. But when a local boy's disappearance is attributed to a backwoods militai group, Jess's goal -- to find the missing child -- and Dr. Krantz's -- to stop a group of madmen before they kill again -- turn out to be one and the same. Suddenly Jess finds herself working with one enemy in order to stop a far worse one. In an atmosphere of hate and fear, can Jess and Dr. Krantz -- not to mention Jess's would-be boyfriend Rob -- work together to unite a community and save a life...without losing their own?… (mer)

Very enjoyable series. Most of the characters lack depth, but the most important characters throughout the series are complex and consistent. ( )

Where do you go from high school murderers? White supremacists.

But, first, it's Thanksgiving, and Jess is home with her family. The new kid from across the street is missing but he's only been gone for a few hours so nobody is overly worried and Jess thinks nothing of it as she sneaks out to Rob's house for her second Thanksgiving dinner. Rob is a little bit upset that she snuck out and a little bit more upset because she hasn't told her parents about him and his wrong side of the tracks self. Then there's a little more of his "you're too young, I'm not good enough" stuff and then there's this:

"Rob," I said, taking a step towards him. "I just want you to know. I am not like your dad. I will never leave you."

"Because you're a freaking psycho," Rob said.

"No," I said. "That's not why. It's because I lo--"

"Don't!" he said, thrusting the rag out at me like it was a weapon. There was a look of naked panic on his face. "Don't say it! Mastriani, I am warning you--"

"--ve you."

"I told you--" He wadded the rag up and threw it viciously into a far corner of the barn. "--not to say it."

"I'm sorry," I said, gravely. "But I am afraid my unbridled passion was simply too great to hold in check a moment longer."

A second later, it appeared that in actuality, Rob was the one suffering from the unbridled passion, not me. At least if the way he grabbed me by the shoulders, dragged me towards him, and started kissing me was any indication.


I cannot stand their adorableness.

Okay, so, new kid across the street is black and was killed by a white supremacist group who not long after kidnapped a twelve year old Jewish kid. Jess and Rob sneak in to rescue the kid, getting caught before their backup (of Rob's friends from a local biker bar) arrive. They nearly die, they get out, everyone is saved. There is a beautiful moment at the end where Jess tells the head of the white supremacist group that his choices of surgeons are the black surgeon who is the father of the kid he murdered, a Jewish surgeon, or an Asian surgeon, and watches him squirm.

But, seriously, by this book I was in it for Jess and also for Jess and Rob. Plot be damned! ( )

PLOT OR PREMISE:
Jess Mastriani got hit by lightning, and now she's psychic. So she's been calling in tips to the missing persons line and telling the feds where to find the kids. The FBI wants her to do more, but she told them she lost the gift (which of course they don't believe). And when a local kid shows up dead with strange militia markings on him, Jesse gets drawn into local militia groups and right-wing nuts in general, with the feds following along behind.
.
WHAT I LIKED:
Not much -- although it is good they still have Jess acting like a teenager.
.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
While I prefer this characterization of Jess to the TV-series that has changed her into a kick-in-the-door, guns-blazing federal agent, this individual story is waaaay over the top. Like Hardy Boys meets the A-Team.
.
BOTTOM-LINE:
Way over the top
.
DISCLOSURE:
I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow her on social media. ( )
