[Joseph D'Agnese]

Liked it and will read the entire YA series. Teen girl discovers she can hear people's thoughts, with disquieting results. Strongly recommended for YA readers or YA-reading adults...

Note: I'm trying to get away from posting stars anymore. Think it clouds the way I think about books.

[Jen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun young adult series about teenagers with superpowers.
