Tasmyn has just moved to King,
Florida and has started attending a new school. Tasmyn can hear
thoughts except, for some reason, her Chemistry teacher, Ms. Lacusta
who seems to be able to block her at least in the beginning. Later in
the book, Tasmyn doesn't have trouble reading Ms. Lacusta's mind. A
mean girl bullies her. Hot guy Michael swoops in to her rescue. I
have mixed feelings about characters meeting and turning out to be
soul mates. They meet and BOOM in love, happily ever after. It kind
of seems like cheating to me for authors to use this. You want your
characters to be together, so they fall in love at first sight and
are meant to be together. There was a lengthy explanation of why this
was happening to Michael and a lengthy explanation of Tasmyn's
psychic abilities. It seemed out of character for teenagers to have
such lengthy, insightful conversations. It was dragging on for me and
the author was losing my interest for a bit. The reveal of black
magic happenings in the town was more interesting to me. Halfway
through is when this book started to get really good. I liked the
action bits the best, they were very exciting. I didn't like the long
exposition parts. Plus I thought the Christian undertones were a bit
heavy handed. All in all, I liked the majority of it. I have the
second book, so I will be sure to read that too. 4 stars.
