~ What's It About? ~
“My mom had always told me – when you meet “the one”, you’ll know; they’ll captivate your heart the moment you lay eyes on them. I had always wondered, though, if my mom’s words of wisdom were finite – if they applied to everyone. Maybe those who had found their one great love were the lucky few, and maybe the rest of us would have to settle for less than earth-shattering.”
Seventeen-year-old Kat Walsh is a Gifted – a human with paranormal abilities. With her mom a former Angel and her dad a dream prophet, it’s always been in her genetic make-up to be extraordinary. But, unfortunately for her, the world can’t handle the strange or unusual. So when she slips up and uses her powers at her high school in Ireland, the entire student body treats her like a freak – even the ones she thought were her closest friends.
Broken, but hopeful for a fresh start, she allows her parents to enroll her in a boarding school buried deep within the forests of a small Colorado town. At Midland Pines, School for the Gifted, she feels as though she can finally be herself; she makes new friends and even has the attention of the most popular guy in school – Levi. Everything feels normal again… or does it?
Not long after her arrival, weird dreams of an alluring boy whom she’s never met surface during the night, and the eerie, shadowy trees encircling their school seem to call to her. As these disturbing, yet enticing developments intensify, other bizarre occurrences happen – students and staff turn up missing, and mystery visitors leave gifts while she sleeps. With all of these other things fighting for her attention, a desperate Levi has to fight even harder to keep her interest. But with the dreams of the attractive boy slowly captivating her heart, Kat has to make a choice – will she settle for ‘great’ Levi, or will she search for her elusive dream visitor, possibly stumbling across ‘amazing’?
From the author of the Alyx Rayer Chronicles, comes a refreshingly different Young Adult series with plenty of love, suspense, and a new take on the Paranormal.

Wow this was totally something different then the paranormal I'm use to that's for sure, it was awesome to get a change as well. I don't know what took me so long to read this story, but am I glad that I did read it, the story was/is amazing. The characters are great, hell the hole story line is wonderful and easy to follow. It left me with a small cliffhanger but not to much, I'm left wanting more I feel that I just got my feet wet that is.
It's a 1 person POV story which is told in a 17year old girls mind, so if you can remember what your mind thought about at that age just imagine a gift like hers, yes talk about loads of drama, lol. Of course all the characters are wonderful and for being so young they all are very independent on themselves. This story was a slow start I didn't think I was going to like it but of course I ended up really liking it and flying right thru the pages as if it was water down the drain. lol This is one paranormal story that I have enjoyed and can't wait to have more.
