Personally, I couldn't stand Cameron Winters. At first she was your average abnormal teenage heroine, but as the book progressed, she became very annoying and naive.
***2 stars***
I really liked the premise of this book and was really excited to read it, but after a few chapters it just started to annoy me more and more with every page. I rolled my eyes more times than I care to admit and was just happy to finish it! (I rarely leave a book unfinished, even if it's really bad)
I can also say I won't be reading the rest of this series. Too bad though, because I had high hopes it would be a good read...

I really really enjoyed this story and can't wait to get to the next one! My only complaint is that the edition I have needed a better copy editor...there were a lot of typos and grammar errors that were a bit frustrating. But I still can't wait to continue the series.
Plot:
Cameron lives with her grandma and hides the fact that she can read minds from her friends. But then a murder happens, and a strange boy appears, Lewis is mysterious and sees her. Soon she realizes that he can hear her too. He is just like her, and tells her to come away and learn how to use her talents.
My thoughts:
Lori has been one busy woman this fall. First her adult novel The Ghost Hunter and now a YA novel.
A lot is going on in this short novel, and I never know who to trust. First there is strange Lewis who pays her attention. He does not see her best friend, the hottest girl in school. Can she trust him? Can she even trust her own grand mother to tell the truth? Then there is the Mind Readers, and those that want them harm or? Until the last page I can't say for sure who to trust. But that is the point, it creates suspense, and I am always very distrustful. I never trust anyone in a book, cos who knows.
Cameron is a sweet girl, who just wants to be normal. Lewis, the guy falls for, is always so nice to her. Then there is the leader of the Mind readers, the man who always know what to say. Later in the book there is also another character, I am not going to say who, but that person was nice (oh see what I did there, said nothing at all ;)
There is romance, suspense, and more conflicts to come. Because at the end there is a cliffhanger, that is not a cliffhanger, but still feels like a cliffhanger. Confused, well, ok, it ends well and peaceful, but then something happens, something that could mean another book. And that makes me curious.
Final thoughts and recommendation:
It is sweet YA, so nothing big going on there. There is suspense and some action, but nothing too heavy. So if you want a sweet YA book, with a twisting plot and a paranormal theme then this one might be for you.

Quick read, fast paced, I do have issues with main character, Cameron, while I didn't give a high rating I'd revisit the series and read books 2 & 3.
For the Popsugar reading challenge this the book with magic.
Book 28\52 :-):-D

This was a fun, quick mindless read. It was a free kindle book and it did its job, sucking me in with its cliffhanger, so that I'd read the rest of the series. I will say, the books are clean and they have a strong female lead who does what she believes is right, even in the face of opposition.
more character development please
Would have liked more character development. I'm looking forward to the next book though. Good read overall. Interesting concept for sure.
