Really good story

I enjoyed reading this story about a girl who finds that she has extra abilities in the virtual realm. The bad guys want to use her abilities for evil and the good guys might not actually be the good guys.

The author kept me hooked until the end. I appreciate that the books are clean of sex and profanity. (There might be a couple of bad words, but nothing drastic).
