| The School for Psychics by K.C. Archer |
Teddy is a young woman adrift. She has some unique abilities, but she tends
to use them only for personal gain, and it doesn’t take long for that to
backfire. She’s run out of options when
she meets Clint Corbett and he not only gets her out of her terrifying situation,
he invites her to apply to a top-secret government program called “The School
for Psychics.”
As Teddy learns about the school, along with classmates with
their own gifts, she also learns more about who…and what…she is. To say it confuses her is an
understatement. Old wounds are re-opened,
and her innate lack of trust emerges to cause her even more trouble, and to
save her from some.
Part Avengers, part Harry Potter, Part Allegiance, this governmental
– or spy, who knows? -- conspiracy sets itself apart in a few ways. First, the characters are all college age or
more…some are returning to school after years in jobs where they never quite
fit. Everyone must be invited. They are twenty something plus, there is a blend
of private school rules added to a young adult need for fun… including parties,
substances and sex. This is not a book
for kids.
There are a lot of characters to get to know, but by the end
of the book we feel bonded with them.
Something is going on at Whitfield College. These psychics may figure it out.
I confess that I didn’t notice the “Book One” connotation at
the beginning of this novel, which explains why I kept hoping for resolution of
all the open questions. I didn’t get them in Book One. For sure I will be reading future
releases. I can’t leave these young
people alone! It was an easy fun read…and I’m hoping the series doesn’t go on
too long.
I was invited to read this book by the publisher, Simon and
Shuster, Inc. with no strings attached.
