This was very good. I liked this book a lot, even more than the first one in the series. I feel like the author has grown exponentially as an author from the first book to this one.

This is a good book for anyone who likes paranormal urban fantasies. Kinda like The Tomorrow People, if there was a lot of swearing, a lot of drinking, rap music, and maybe a mix of shady governmental organizations and underworld villains.

The narrator did an excellent job, the pace was good. The character growth is great, and the urban environment is realistic and easy to visualize.

I really really like this series. Teagan is such a sarcastic main character, and I love her. I like the mix of sci-fi and real-world issues, like people with PK could actually be out there saving the world

The last chapter is really the best part of the book, and it clears up the seemingly somewhat random plot line of a random earthquake kid which bothered me throughout the story (i.e. how does this relate back to Teagan besides there being another "super" in the world?). The over-arching plot between the books (normally addressed in the last chapter) is definitely the best part to me and keeps me wanting to come back for more. The story seemed to drag on in places, but overall it was entertaining and kept me interested. The villain felt flat; he was evil just because he could be. In my opinion, that doesn't make for a great "bad guy". I prefer villains with more of a backstory/reasoning why they are what they are. The was also not a whole lot of character development for any of the characters. You would think that after all they've been through they would grow... I also noticed quite a few grammar and spelling mistakes, which didn't ruin the story for me, but it did annoy me.

I honestly didn’t know how Jackson Ford could up his game from The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind, but he bloody well did!

Having Matthew, a 4 year old, as the evil villain is pure genius and I’m deeply uncomfortable with it. I was reading with my LO snuggled into me, who is also called Matthew and his current obsession is a book on natural disasters. Mr Ford, I blame you for me not being able to sleep comfortably for a week.
